Between the bizarre tweets, the incoherent "good-bye Alaska" speech, and the ensuing and constant pleading that quitting is fighting and fighting is quitting, it has become abundantly clear to anyone with any sense that Sarah Heath Palin has become "Crazy Governor Lady."

Yes, she has lost it and revealed herself as flaky, delusional, dishonest, slightly paranoid, and in way over her head. Palin should have never been elected governor. She wasn't ready and those of us who voted for her should have known it. The lesson is that personality, image and looks should never trump substance when evaluating a candidate.

But that's all in the past now. Hopefully most of us have learned from our mistake. The big question now is how do we get busy cleaning up her mess?

Let's start with the worst piece of legislation in the history of the state, Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share or ACES.

The evidence is overwhelming ACES is killing Alaska jobs and drying up future investment. BP's development of the Liberty field is one of the most glaring examples.

When BP announced in July of last year it will invest $1.5 billion to develop Liberty field, we learned the oil company giant would incorporate the world's biggest land-based drill unit, with power two to three times that of a typical North Slope rig, and that the investment would create hundreds of high paying jobs and extend the life of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. This project is a big deal and the kind of investment we have seen very little of lately in Alaska.

1. Fagan seems intent on allowing corporate interests to make ALL

of the profits on the North Slope oil. Seems like what Palin did was somewhat socialistic in nature. So, good for her and the citizens that she did that. But she won't make friends with GOP fascists that way.

2. SNL is in repeats -

They did the Couric interview tonight:

Here is the comparison between the real vs. SNL

How she ever got as high as she did only speaks to the shallowness of people overall as a whole.

3. It's All In The Past For Alaska Voters Who Learned Their Mistake - But........

now she is being unleashed on the lower 48 and you Alaskan's have to help us get the message across that "personality, image and looks should never trump substance when evaluating a candidate."

Many of us learned that with GWB and we elected BHO to clean up his mess. But I fear that history may repeat itself with the Crazy Gov Lady.
