A Bovine Love Affair

According to a recent piece in the NY Times, Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.

So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.

Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.

Perhaps Gov. Palin would appoint me to the Alaskan Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation because everyone knows i love king crab legs.

Now we learn that Gov. Palin purchased a tanning bed that was installed in the Governor's Mansion. I guess its better than an iron lung that was installed in John McCain's Arizona ranch.

By the way, our local bookstore is now selling Obama and McCain action figures. If you place a miniature basketball in the Obama action figure's arms, it shoots 3 point shots. The McCain action figure just looks grumpy and gets up two or three times a night to pee.
