Just think, if it had all gone a bit differently – well, a few million votes differently – we’d be celebrating 100 days of McCain/Palin. As it is, the Wasilla Frontiersman (the paper of record in Palin’s erstwhile hometown) keeps us up-to-date on the not-veep’s activities:
Gov. Sarah Palin is encouraging Alaskans to sign up again this year for a six-week physical activity competition, and win it again.
Starting this Friday, adults and children can sign up for the National President’s Challenge, sponsored by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Alaska had 2,868 people participate last year. That was the highest participation rate per capita among all the states. Alaska took top honors.
Recent surveys show that about 65 percent of Alaska adults are overweight or obese.
Keep up the good work, Governor. In the meantime, as we’re unlikely to be returning to the Frontiersman soon, here’s a quick run-down of its top stories right now:
- “Moose dies at school, students disciplined”
- “Homosexuality not normal” (that’s actually a letter, from Canada)
- “Troopers say students didn’t kill moose”
- “The day christianity disappears, rapture” (an op-ed)
- “Two suspended in moose death” (closing line: “The moose killed itself”)
Ah, the Palin Nation we so nearly were…
