Excerpt from the Chicago Tribune:
The Riverside-Brookfield Landmark reported that Brown told police that he was let into the movie theater by a woman who told him to go to the front row, take off his clothes and wait for her so they could have sex and do drugs. Because statements by Brown to police were made after he was issued his Miranda warning, and North Riverside police policy prohibits the release of such statements, North Riverside Police Chief Anthony Garvey said he could not confirm details of the statement.

I wish I could “say it ain’t so” (to quote the subject of this post), but it is. In an event that demonstrates the way of the maverick, Sarah Palin has become the only Governor in the United States to refuse economic recovery funds for energy. Why? Because it promotes energy efficiency. Perplexing? You betcha.
Sure other state Governors are turning down economic recovery money, like for education, but money to invest in energy efficiency is totally the gift that keeps on giving.
Basically, the federal government wants to give Alaska $29 million for energy projects. What does Alaksa have to do? Spend the money on renewable energy and energy efficiency, adopt the latest building codes for energy efficiency, and begin looking at policies that allow utilities to make money selling less electricity instead of more. I think if you read the statute closely, it even says Gov. Palin could shoot a wolf out of an airplane along the way (I guess, as long as that plane’s running on renewable fuel), but instead the trigger happy maverick decided to shoot the goose that laid the golden egg.
Remind me why our country rejected such stellar executive leadership?
Family Guy is always one for a good song and dance, some satire and of course a little bit of sparkle. Oh, and it’s dumb a lot too. But this episode, while being dumb, still is funny, and has an interesting message.
