How come the AIP story hasn't hit the cable news stations yet?
They're wasting time with the pregnancy story--this secessionist party issue is WAY bigger than that.

I've seen it on ABC's website and the NY Times--that's IT!

2. AIP is no big deal.
They're just Alaskan Republicans who want the United States to leave them alone. Their feelings are only a little more extreme than those of most of the people up here. Why do you think we live so far away from the rest of you guys? We're misfits and outcasts, and we LIKE it that way.

7. If Senator Obama had been part of some sorta "Hawaiian Separatist Party"...?!
He'd be toast. We both know that.

8. Oh, you know I'm just pulling your leg.
You DO know that, don't you? (Is our sense of humor that off-the-wall, too?)

16. The sarcasm tag is here. Sarcasm isn't easy to detect over the internet.

3. I'm happy it's holding off for now.
There's so much noise, it's best to let the current stories play out, then drop the AIP story as the coup de grace.

4. Too many Palin stories at one time. It should be on in a day or two.
