Because of the failed policies of Sarah Palin, Alaskans are paying $5 for gas

Actually ................ I was an honor student in high school. I did a term paper in my senior year to prepare for college. The term paper was about the cost of things in Alaska. Everything has to be brought there, being few natural resources. But the conditions are harsh, and even local stuff, like lumber and oil end up costing a lot because of the cost of production. And even stuff like gold that comes out of the ground fight there isn't any cheaper than it is anywhere else. Palin is enjoying herself, as anyone here would who had her money. Traveling, living large, eating good. And $5 gas is nothing new to Alaska. Steve |

Premium gasoline was 18.9 cents a gallon at Rucker and over $1.65 a gallon at Greely. If it has only trippled in 39 years, it's a bargain along the Alcan at $5 a gallon. It's $4 a gallon in some parts of Florida, without the expense of trucking small tankers on the Alcan. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |

This guy exemplified making lemonade from lemons. I don't think he was particularly keen to go to Ft. Greely, but he took the opportunity to learn to ski, and bought a nice .22 rifle and took all the free ammo the Army gave him and became a skilled marksman. Then he went to Falls Church, VA and finished the rest of his time in the Army, and avoided the Vietnam quagmire altogether. He used to hint that in one of his last official actions, he managed to reroute my older brother's Army destiny into some clerical MOS that kept my brother out of the infantry. When my brother ended up being sent to Vietnam in 1971, he was feeding punch cards into an IBM 360 computer housed in a double-wide at Long Binh rather than slogging through rice paddies.
