Sarah Palin's Alaska
Did anyone else watch it?
I watched about half. I missed the part where she climbed a mountain. I had my own peak to scale -- that of the unfolded laundry.
Some observations:
1. Alaska truly is beautiful. I, too, would board a prop plane, go salmon fishing, and skirt bear habitats as long as some network would plan the whole thing, buy all the gear, and record my kids only when they make witty or clever comments. As opposed to when they sneeze and, while recounting every word of the most boring Caillou episode ever, hold their face in my direction so I can wipe their nose.
2. Sarah Palin's face and hair always look red-carpet, black-tie ready, even if she's "lounging" around in sweats or curled up in a chair. I fully admit I'm out of the fashion loop. Is this mom-typical?
3. I'm into Todd. (But not over my own rugged rapscallion.)
4. I think Sarah Palin and I stare at our BlackBerry about the same amount of time each day. Except no one wants me *now* on FOX. No one is preparing a hit piece on me. No one is looking for my endorsement.
Wait. Are they?

Uh, no. And I suspect that this is going to begin to annoy women of either party.

Re: Sarah Palin's Alaska
Sarah Palin is not my ideal candidate for President in 2012.
However, I think she is good for Conservatism in general. A lot of the gains we saw in 2010 would not have happened if she had not been a voice standing up to liberals in general and Obama in particular.
Can't we (particularly the ladies) lay off of her for just a little while? Is she Ricochet's official punching bag?

I'm telling you, Sarah Palin is a remarkable example of God's creation.

Re: Sarah Palin's Alaska
It's funny I was just having a conversation last night with my 15 year old girl about the differences between men and women and to be carefull aroung her "friends" because women hate other women especially when they are beautiful. That there is no such thing as a sister hood. That women are caddy and revengeful and if it takes 10 years to get someone back they will wait 10 years to do it. And then you come out with your snarkey post. This is for all of the women around the country who may be reading this...you want to know why a woman will never be President, it's because the women are the ones who won't vote for her. SP has acheived everything that women for the last 50 years have said they could acheive, and now so many women hate her because of it. Women if you want respect and admiration across the spectrum from the boardroom to the bedroom develope some self-confidence, grow some thicker skin, stop hating and competing with each other, and worry only about yourself in the future. By the way, I loved the show because I love Alaska.

Huh? In what way is this post making Palin a punching bag? I'm totally perplexed.
I said her home state is beautiful (that's what she was hoping to share with the world. I agree with her wholeheartedly).
I said she looked amazingly put-together for a mom.
And I said we both are addicted to our BlackBerrys but she actually has a good reason to be.
I made exactly zero (0) references to politics/my view of her political future.

I'm not annoyed, Kitty. I still wish Sarah Palin were my big sister giving me make-up tips. It would also be nice to have her stamina and share some of her genetics.

I'm not punching. I'm seriously in awe of Sarah Palin's beauty. The dudes here have even been ribbing me.

I read somewhere (likely the dentist's office as I'm too indifferent to surf websites for entertainment) that a professional make up artist who worked on Sarah Palin said that she attributed her skin to good genetics combined with Alaskan air. She did say that Ms Palin had the most amazing skin she had ever worked on.
Also, you'll notice she has a very wide an defined jawline which does help her fight the age battle, though now that she hits late 40's even she will start to show the ravages of time.

Re: Sarah Palin's Alaska
I actually saw about half of it and it was fine. It was nice when the older folks were there as well.
I admit that I can't tell the difference between when her hair is fixed or strands are flying. I wouldn't notice makeup unless she had blue eyelids or somnething similar.
My wife got a kick out of it, too.

Re: Sarah Palin's Alaska
What in the world are you talking about, Peter? This post wasn't snarkey. I'm a rabid fan of Lady Sarah Palin because I wish I could look like her and have her energy. I have loads of women friends who I truly enjoying being around, particularly my Women's Bible Study buddies. Spending time with them is the highlight of my week. And just so you know, I've actually started some internet friendships with women because of getting to know them on Ricochet. My motto in life is to seek out amazing people (particularly women because it causes less misunderstandings) and learn from them. Ricochet is aiding me in my progress.

Not you, Ursula. I suspect that Sally is referring to the recurrent *discussions* that erupt any time Sarah is mentioned here on Ricochet, most noticeably by Kenneth, but joined by others. When I saw your title, my first thought was "Oh boy! Good thing Kenneth is on the NR Cruise ..."
(I just edited " diatribe" to "discussion", Kenneth is several hundred miles at sea but you can't be too careful)

I see. So we are all merely pawns in your plans for world domination, then? First the Americas, then Canada, then Europe. Freedom loving veterinarians all over the world will rise up and prevent your plans for world domination.

Re: Sarah Palin's Alaska
Got the first half as well. Funny part was that PBS was running the Mark Twain Comedy Awards against it, with (surprise) Tina Fey accepting .
I tuned it in once to hear some weird guy try to make jokes about share points and demographics, grosses, and industry junk. The crowd, basically unattractive, was forcing chuckles and the frequent shots of Fey with her dwarfish hubby smiling kept coming as the talker was really uncomfortably unappealing. Had to jump back to TLC (do they have HD channel?) for Sarah and the bears. Went back one more time to what they were saying was one of Tina's masterpieces. Turned out to be a skit about a pill for reducing women's periods to once a year. Funny ? With the not unpredictable pms joke for that one annual episode. You know the teacher with chainsaw killings of school kids. What a laugh riot that was ........... snarky, award show of insiders only on your government funded tv channel. If you watched carefully there is a short ( 1 week) journolist-type BDS going on right now as well . Reacting to Bush book and Obama fail on tour.

You can't possibly stockpile enough Old Spice in your lair to deal with the volume of man cave dwellers that will rise up here on Ricochet.

Re: Sarah Palin's Alaska
I have a sneaking suspicion that not all of SP's beauty comes from her genetics. I think of lot of it is shining through from the inside.
