Palin had picnics across the state of Alaska? Who paid for them?

2. I think it's budgeted,

since there are governors' picnics every year. It probably cost more this year than normal, though, since they became more of a big deal than usual.

3. The Governor's Picnics in Fairbanks and Anchorage are tradition...

... all governors do them.

4. I hope you mean all Alaska governors do them.

I doubt few other states do them as they may be considered political considering that expenditures from the state is being used to pay for the picnics.

5. Well seriously, there's only like 5 people in Alaska and how often is the weather nice

enough to have a picni? It seems right that Alaska of all states would be a state to make something like this a governors tradition.

It sounds like all governors do them and of all the shit she does, I'd be less inclined to diss her for that. These are for the people of the state.

So pick your battles.

6. Thank you, Xultar.

Slightly more than five, but you're close. And we did have pretty nice weather here in Anchorage this year, although it rained later in the day. Fairbanks, I understand, was sunny and the smoke from the wildfires even cleared for a bit. (Over 1.5 million acres have burned so far this year.)

7. It appears that this might be one reason why she waited til Sunday to resign.

It would had been better if the new governor was involved.
