So how's Todd Palin these days or doesn't anyone care including his

[Cleita]

wife? Inquiring minds are curious. Has the little woman rushed back to his bedside or is she still picking up gold coins Trump throws on the ground for her.

[ghostsinthemachine]

1. She has made a few pressers about Todd

Apparently he is the toughest person she has ever known or some other shit like that. Fuck him and Fuck her (But please, nobody fuck their daughter, that's been done).

[Cleita]

4. Yep.

[LiberalArkie]

40. No thank you, I believe I will pass.

[lpbk2713]

2. I haven't seen much said about the circumstances surrounding the "accident".

Curious minds might want to know if substance abuse was involved.

[Cleita]

3. I wouldn't doubt it considering the Palin family history of getting

"likkered up" as my granny would say.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Never mind him, how's the snow machine?

Those suckers are expensive.

[Cleita]

7. Yes. It has more value it seems. eom

[snooper2]

13. snowmobile , it is a fucking, SNOWMOBILE!

15. Snow machine if you live in Alaska.

Calling it a snowmobile is the very quickest way to get yourself labeled an "Outsider."

[snooper2]

17. Nope- I think Alaska needs some edumacation LOL- When Polaris calls it that, fine

Until then-

NOPE, looks goofy and sounds goofy "snow machine"

Or when you guys have a car race, do you call it an "auto machine" race

[Blue_In_AK]

19. It's just another one of those things

we can't expect you Lower 48ers to understand.

[The Second Stone]

25. Those of us who live in California think that snow is a seasonly

mountainly recreationally sort of thingy. You know, fun and importantly completely optional.

[LisaM]

26. Michigan is chock full of snowmobiles and no one there calls them snow machines.

I am so glad this argument resurfaced! I remember someone eight years ago getting testy about it when people were trying to figure out if there was an actual difference, or if it was just calling the same thing by two different names. No answer was ever given to that question.

My take is that if it's in Alaska it's a snow machine. But anywhere else (including, I'm assuming, Canada?) it turns into a snowmobile.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. That's pretty true.

Just Alaska. We're mavericky and roguey like that. LOL.

[LiberalElite]

37. Oh. To me a "snow machine" makes snow.

And yes, in Alaska I'd be an outsider in many many ways...

[Monk06]

21. First modern snowmobile 1960 Bombardier Ski Doo

The snowmobile story is an interesting one

[Gamecock Lefty]

6. I was having such a good day . . .

until you mentioned the Palin family. Why did you do that???

[Cleita]

8. My evil side rising.

I needed to make fun of something.

[Blue_In_AK]

10. He was hurt pretty badly.

Eight broken ribs, punctured lung, broken clavicle and shoulder blade. He has surgery scheduled.

I think Sarah's back here. I have zero respect for her, but do hope Todd makes a full recovery.

[Kelvin Mace]

11. That's painful and slow healing.

[Cleita]

12. Oh yeah. I'm not that mean to not wish him a

complete recovery. I just couldn't comprehend her not dropping everything to get back to him. Is money and being on stage so important to her that she would ignore her husband in what seems to be a rather traumatic event? If so she deserves all the scorn I have for her.

[Blue_In_AK]

14. I was shocked at that, too.

I think if it had been my husband, I would have been on the first plane back. And, in fact, with her "connections," she probably could have gotten a private person to fly her home. Doesn't The Donald have private jets?

[Cleita]

16. Yes, he sure does. eom

[malaise]

22. Damn

That a whole lot of damage

[struggle4progress]

18. Sarah rushed back to see him after a few days, then rushed quickly back again to the limelight

Not much news on him: I'm wondering if, given the family history, there might be some alcohol involved

... KTVA in Alaska reports that the police were called to an incident at Sarah Palin’s home at around 10 p.m., where the 26 year-old Track lives with his parents. According to the police report, there were two phone calls — the first by a woman later identified as Track’s girlfriend of one year, Jordan Loewe, who claimed “a male had punched her in the face and that a firearm was involved.” The other one was from Track Palin himself, stating that “the female was drunk” ...

... “We believe — wait, I thought fast food joints — er. Don’t you guys think that they are of the devil or something? Liberals, you want to send those evil employees who would dare work at a fast food joint that you just don’t believe in — thought you wanted to send them to purgatory or something until they all go vegan! Wages and picket lines. I don’t know. They’re not often discussed in purgatory, are they? I don’t know. Why are you even worried about fast food wages?” ...

20. I think Sarah's "on" something other than alcohol.

She is unreocgnizable from her 2006 self.

[struggle4progress]

24. Could be. I must admit I wasn't paying attention to her in 2006

[truebluegreen]

31. Isn't Wasilla the meth capital of AK?

That would explain a lot, including her manic word salad speechifying and the weight loss.

[Blue_In_AK]

33. Meth and opiates.

Actually, I think the heroin and oxy is a bigger problem out there now than the meth.

[Octafish]

23. 14 Broken Ribs and a collapsed lung.

One broken rib hurts like heck. A whole chest full sounds awful.

Source is Willow: http://www.westernjournalism.com/look-todd-palins-daughter-just-revealed-how-bad-his-injuries-are-itll-make-you-cringe/

[BillZBubb]

27. Sarah will share her daily "meds" and Todd will feel great.

She feels no pain.

[Cleita]

36. I bruised my ribs once tripping over an open door under the counter of the bar I was working at.

One of the other bartenders had left it open and we were busy and I didn't see it. It hurt like hell. I can't imagine how bad broken ribs are especially since you can't really put them in cast. One of his ribs must have punctured his lung. He's gotta be in a whole lot of hurt and discomfort. That's why I can't believe she ignored it. The woman I believe is a sociopathic. We saw her lack of empathy towards the suffering of animals. This is beyond the pale to me.

[drray23]

41. I broke 4 ribs years ago

and this was painful as hell. you cant have a cast so the only thing is tight bandages. Each time you breathe it hurts. If you happen to sneeze its torture.

[tularetom]

28. Poor guy probably wants her to stay the fuck away

On the other hand, he surely enjoys all the big bucks she's been able to scam from the hicks via her PAC.

Keeps him in snow machines ya know.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. He's a private citizen and not a family friend, so I don't really care.

I wish him well, but I don't really need to know.

[RufusTFirefly]

30. I had no idea!

I'm actually pretty surprised that so many people knew what you were talking about.
I hadn't a clue.
As far as I know, Amy Goodman hasn't devoted a single segment of Democracy Now! to this pressing issue.
Further proof that investigative journalism is going rapidly downhill. In a snowmobile.

[Cleita]

32. No Amy Goodman is talking about Black Lives Matter and the election as well as the

latest genocide. Sorry, I'm not that high minded at times.

[RufusTFirefly]

35. Sorry, I didn't necessarily mean it as an indictment

As it happens, a lot of people I respect on this board (yourself included) have chimed in on this thread. It just makes me wonder what media sources others are consulting that provides them access to this sort of news. It wasn't even on my radar.

[Cleita]

38. You don't seem to do the MSM. I do a little when driving to get road and weather conditions

since I live rurally, so of course we get all the sensational news along with it.

[RufusTFirefly]

39. That must be it.

From time to time, certain names and incidents from the MSM still manage to worm their way into my world, but they usually do it somewhat stealthily.

"Kim Kardashian! How the hell did you get in here?!"
