Costco drops plans for Sarah Palin's town
The hometown of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin got turned down by Costco, reports the AP. The Issaquah-based warehouse retailer unexpectedly pulled its plans to build a store in Wasilla after reportedly filing an application to begin construction in the city. The city planner expects reasons for the change in plans to be submitted in writing sometime this week.

1. The true reason is they were going to
design their box store concept around the wonderful view of Russia. It turns out you can't see Russia too well so oh well.
