Behold Todd Palin's snow machine, dangling from a truck's winch in the icy gray murk of an Alaskan winter morning. The machine is gleaming, new, scarcely ridden. It is ­orange and black and pointy-nosed, with thin, tensile orange steel suspension arms jutting from its sides like the wings on a menacing insect. This is, no doubt, a machine that could inflict a nasty sting, but right now its engine is stilled, and a certain awed quietude prevails on Big Lake, outside Anchor­age, at the start of the 2009 Tesoro Iron Dog, a 2,000-mile snow-machine odys­sey that crashes through the Alaskan backcountry, northwest to Nome and then east to Fairbanks.

Sport Illustrated is lib crap from Time Warner aka CNN. The story portrays the Palins as local yokels.

I thought the story to be interesting... Have you read it? It's certainly not a hit-piece. Then again lib elitists will think of anything related to rural, outdoor lifestyle to be "yokely"...

This story makes you resent the results of the election even more. These are great American folks, who were dismissed by our idiot electorate. And we got stuck with Obama and Biden, a couple of losers.

Mr. Palin, leaving an attractive woman like that alone for such a long time ain't right.
What's that, Mrs Palin? Why yes I do recognize your .357, why do you ask?

1. For that last one, we need a smiley that is

(:puke: + :rofl:)²

That snip looks perfectly fine - a bit on the flowery, blathery side - but nothing insulting. Perhaps the freeps didn't understand the big words and the simile? :shrug:

Yup, they certainly are, and is why Todd was a card-carrying member of the AIP...LOL!!

And is why Caribou Barbie taped a speech last year praising them:
