Between that and the debt she really fucked them up good, didn't she???

[patrice]

2. and less infrastructure

[jakem]

3. is that true? documentation?

[zbdent]

4. Stephanie Miller reported that there were 42 meth labs in Wasilla ...

roughly one per 200 residents ...

So, if it's not, it's close ...

[jakem]

6. Great. so as she brings her reformation to america, we can look forward to

1.750.000 meth labs nationally.

:eyes:

[redqueen]

10. And how many more billions in debt? How will our interest payments balloon?

Republicans are experts at racking up debt.

[angstlessk]

19. and those were just the ones they KNOW about...how many are really

out there, usually only a fraction of crime is uncovered...one never knows, does one?

Troopers dub Mat-Su area the meth capital of Alaska
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASILLA - The Matanuska-Susitna area is the methamphetamine capital of Alaska, according to Alaska State Troopers.

In 2003, authorities uncovered nine meth labs in the area. Last year, the number increased to 42, said Kyle Young, an investigator with the troopers who works with the Mat-Su narcotics team.

Officials with the Office of Children's Services in Wasilla said the problem affects children. The office receives about 40 calls a month from people reporting abuse or neglect involving some aspect of the highly addictive drug.

8. Well good for them!

They're entrepreneurs, making the best of the Wasilla school system that Palin let go to shit.

14. BINGO! Iwas just getting ready to Gogle for it, but no need to now.

This is no cheap-shot "trivia"! I'm going to run with it elsewhere directly.

7. So maybe the $20 million spent on the new sports complex could have...

been put to better use? You think?

9. "A mayor is like a community organizer but with real responsibilities"

Apparently rooting out the tweakers is not one of those "responsibilities"

[redqueen]

11. Hiring lobbyists, too. Don't forget that.

She had to get one of them for that tiny town, so she could get some of that pork!

[KingFlorez]

12. Well, that's just wonderful

Wasilla, meth capital of the Nation!

[SeaLyons]

13. I think their average educational level

is 10th grade. Speaks volumes.

[Ganja Ninja]

15. Love those small town values. n/t

[fishwax]

17. but she was busy addressing much bigger problems -- by proposing censorship at the city library

[Jennicut]

18. This is friggin hilarious! Some mayor she sure turned out to be.

Sarah Palin really is the gift that keeps on giving. More and more each day I wonder what we will learn about her and her wonderful home town of Wasilla next.

[Canuckistanian]

20. Sounds like Wasilla could use a "community organizer"

Because the authorities are clearly overwhelmed.

[ampad]

21. Wow Sarah, how great

Sounds like that town could use some community activism, oh my bad, community activism is only for us negros.

22. Maybe they'll replace the "have a beer" question with....

Who would you rather smoke a bowl with?
