I would love to say I'm making this up. "Bid for a dinner with Sarah Palin on Ebay"
But life isn't that fair.

http://www.examiner.com/x-16276-Huntsville-Celebrity-Headlines-Examiner~y2009m9d4-Bid-for-a-dinner-with-Sarah-Palin-on-Ebay


Former GOP Vice-President candidate Sarah Paline is using E-Bay to raise money for charity. She is auctioning off a dinner with her to the highest bidder to raise money for Ride 2 Recovery, a program that supports wounded veterans through cycling.

The auction opens on Tuesday with an opening bid of $25,000. Along with the paying the final bid price, the winner is also responsible for travel expenses to meet up with her, most likely in Alaska. But, if you can afford over 25k for one meal, then you probably are fine with those conditions.

Nine other celebrities will also go up on the auction block in support of this cause. The auction will last for 10 days, so you have time to get your assets in order and make a bid.

9. I looked for a dupe, but I've been gone all day too.
Hope it hasn't been beaten to death at this point.

25. Rich republicans changing money among themselves....
not to worry. That's what they do anyway. It's a kind of ponzi scheme...like Ann Coulter's books.

4. Sarah won't see my dinner plate from her porch.

14. I would do it. It could be fun.

Shit would go downhill from there.

15. Well, I would suggest that
whoever may be considering this just take a look out the window when driving through the nearest town. See that Taco Bell? Stop and get yourself a Crunchwrap Supreme and save $24,998.49

16. If I want dinner and conversation with an airhead, all I have to do is
invite a neighbor of mine over and it won't cost $25,000.
