Is there no end to the Palin lies and republican hypocrisy. Do they think voters are stupid?. How can Palin make such bold-faced LIES?

McCain and Palin castigate the earmarks she seeks

FAIRFAX, Va. - Republican presidential nominee John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, equated lawmakers' requests for funding for special projects with corruption on Wednesday even though Palin herself has requested nearly $200 million in so-called "earmarks" this year.

Campaigning in Virginia, McCain suggested earmarks are particularly shameful at a time when families are struggling with rising food, gas and home mortgage costs. He vowed again to veto any bill that contains such funding.

"I got an old ink pen, my friends, and the first pork barrel-laden earmark, big-spending bill that comes across my desk, I will veto it. You will know their names. I will make them famous and we'll stop this corruption," McCain said during a rally at a park in suburban Washington, D.C.

Palin has sought $197 million worth of earmarks for 2009, down about 25 percent from the $256 million she sought in the 2008 budget year. As mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska, she hired a lobbyist to seek federal money for special projects. Wasilla obtained 14 earmarks, totaling $27 million, between 2000-2003, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense.

4:54 - and your spew on Governor Palin has what to do with the subject at hand?

Oh, just so you know, she isn't running for President. The Presidental candidate, John McCain, has the record of zero earmarks in his career in the Senate. The junior part-time Senator professional campaigner, the Messiah, has requested over a billion.

Sen. Barack Obama sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for clients of the lobbyist son of his Democratic running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, records show. Obama succeeded in getting $192,000 for one of the clients...

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

It is one thing to advocate for your share as a Governor, and quite another to be an Obama, Stevens or Biden raiding the federal budget for useless projects. Palin pales in comparison to those bandits.

I wonder why the Times editor didn't post their name to this story, yet they feel it necessary to run it?

Dudes, stick to the subject. It's about dang time that a judge had the courage to do the right thing and consider the best interest of the child, not bigotry in ruling on an adoption!

And the homosexual agenda was just to enjoy same sex marriage and divorce.

No, the will not be satisfied until the other 95% of us let them re-order society to fit their special needs.

Nothing will serve as a better advertisement for Amendment 2 than this type of thing hitting the news.

64% maybe higher.

Speaking of homosexual activity... what is the urban legend?

Judge orders inmates to change out of saggy pants

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- A Florida judge tired of seeing inmates' underwear because of sagging orange pants decided to take action this week.

Circuit Judge Daniel Perry delayed court for an hour and a half Wednesday, as he ordered the 61 inmates on his docket back to jail so that a handful of them could change into better-fitting - if not as fashionable - bottoms.

According to a court transcript, Perry said he did not want to see people "with their rear ends hanging out of their pants." He added: "We're done."

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office reminded deputies of proper sizing methods for inmates and some spare pants were also delivered to the courthouse.

What is one person's earmark is another person's important and needed project.
