Little Miss Perky

caught with her hand in the till again.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Minimalist -

I was unaware that her hands had ever been out of the till.

Must be nice, for a supposedly, upwardly, mobile pol.

From my mother, bless all 89 years of her.

I thought that was Ricardo Montalban in Star Trek II?

:lol:

They should give us the vote over here, Grumps.

We have to go to war together.

If their bankers screw up, the bottom falls out of our pensions too.

I feel like we're the 51st state of the USA.

You guys should declare your independence.

(We don't even have enough troops to even try to re-conquer you.)

And we wouldn't even be able to repel a tiny, raggle-taggle raiding party.

They're all in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Btw, what do you mean re-conquer?

When did you ever conquer us? :shock:

Just an assumption that if you feel you are the 51st state that we must have taken over sometime.

Let's face it. Any force we sent to re-conquer (or re-assert, if you like) our supremacy would most likely end up shopping at Harrods.

Well we idiots have been robbed of our referendum on the EU and if they ever give us one on joining the US instead, our American friends will get my vote every time.

Listen up, matey. It was the other way round. We were once in charge of you. Then there was some piffling little dispute over some trifling matter, like tea ... and you lot threw all your toys out of the pram and went off in a huff.

Anyway, we managed fine without you ... until Germany decided to try and take over the world. Then we had to come crawling on our hands and knees and beg you to help us - and we've never stood upright since.

Now, when you want to carry out some illegal raiding party to steal some Arab's oil, we have to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. And when your bankers screw up by rolling their risk analysis spreadsheets into straws to shoot white powder up their noses, we have to pick up the tab.

Next, you're going to want us to help you invade Iran.

So I disagree, Dig. I'm declaring UDI from the USA.
