Calling Todd Palin’s secessionist bluff

Note to Todd Palin:

Go ahead and take your Alaskan Independence Party and secede. With the way Alaskan oil production has dropped off in the last few years, to fall well behind Texas and Louisiana, and the money the rest of us would save not paying you Commies $213 per person , we’d come out ahead of you WOULD secede.

In a decade, you’d run out of oil money to replace the federal tit, run out of oil, find that ANWR doesn’t have that much oil, and probably piss off Canada so much it would block Mayor Whazzup’s gas pipeline.

Palin supports Alaska secession?

Tells AIP to “keep up the good work” this year

Alaskan Independence Party chairwoman Lynette Clark says she’d pull the lever for Sarah Palin, if Alaska-hating John McCain didn’t top the GOP ticket. She also makes clear that, even if Palin never was a member (husband Todd WAS, 1995-2002, just before Mayor (of) Whazzup ran for and got elected to that position, that Sarah Palin was quite sympatico with AIP’s “vision.”

I suppose supporting the AIP’s “vision” would be a sine qua non for addressing its convention, as Palin did earlier this year:

"Keep up the good work," Palin told party members. "And God bless you.”

What good work? The work of trying to secede from the United States. That, after all, IS the AIP’s “vision.”
