Surely you're joking, Mrs. Palin?

.

The American Presidential election has gone from Broadway, to Off-Broadway, to Side Show. So, in that spirit, I note that Mrs. Palin isn't very friendly to Polar Bears:

The State of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species, Gov. Sarah Palin said... She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state's northern and northwestern coasts.

If you are at all interested in the ongoing saga of Calamity Sarah, I suggest you go to a refreshing breeze (arctic, to be sure) at Mudflats.

End of first Act. Clap, clap, clap.
