Palin Lies - One Man's Protest on the Juneau Cruise Ship Docks

[Blue_In_AK]

I love this post on Mudflats this morning. http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/palin-lies-one-mans-protest-on-the-juneau-cruise-ship-docks/#comments This is a great little story - the power of One.

For starters, I can see the Governor’s Mansion from my front deck. By the McCain/Palin campaign’s standards this would make me an expert on Governor Palin and her family. The problem is that the Palins don’t live in the mansion, unlike the Russians who actually live in Russia.

Last weekend my wife spoke with her Dad who lives in New York. He was concerned that his neighbors had just returned from an Alaskan cruise and had confidently reported that “everyone in Alaska loves Governor Palin.”

So last night I took a piece of cardboard from the garage, found some of my son’s tempera-paints and made a sign. It read “PALIN LIES”, in big green letters. It wasn’t clever, it wasn’t profound. It was just the way I felt.

I vowed to my family that I would go downtown the next morning and mount a one-man protest.

I would start my protest at the State Capitol, go to the Governor’s Mansion then end up at one of the Cruise Ship Docks near the center of town.

2. I went on an Alaskan cruise.....

....in June. Had I known then what I know then, I would have helped you with your sign. I can't believe a woman as dim as she is, would exploit Alaska. I now see ANWAR as a power struggle. It is not the oil at issue, it is the right to drill anywhere.

4. K&R...this was awesome...a must read...I especially loved this part...LMAO

"I was having an oddly good time until the vendor from the Kettle Korn stand across the street started yelling at me. At first I thought he was drunk. He was obviously opposed to my being there. “Get out of here before I come over and kick your f****ing ass!” he screamed. “I mean it! I’ll come over there and kick your ass!” I didn’t really relish the thought of having my ass kicked, but was more afraid this guy would spoil my quiet protest. Of course he also screamed that I should leave “because school kids pass by here.” So school kids would be traumatized by my “Palin Lies” sign and not the sight of some popcorn vendor beating the crap out of a mild-mannered protestor. "

Sarah would be proud of that kettle korn man!!!!
