    (snip)"Our house is full, help us build a new home,” proclaims the Web site for Covenant House Alaska, a program that helps younger people, including teenage mothers.(snip)

    (snip)Still, the lost $1.1 million may delay a $22 million project to expand an emergency shelter, which is open 24 hours a day and provides food, counseling, medical care and a place to sleep for troubled youths ages 13 to 20 years old. Some teenagers later move on to transitional housing, including Passage House, which serves young mothers with babies.(snip)

    The fact that she cut more than $1 million in funding for this home while she spent $400,000 to support aerial hunting of wolves shows where this woman's priorities are.
    Gee, the NY Times printed an article critical of a Republican during the RNC?? That's a shocker!!

    The fact remains she still increased funding over the prior year but not by as much as was proposed. Calling this a loss is like me saying that my home apppreciated in value by 6% this year but I was hoping for 10%, so therefore I lost 4%. You can't lose something you never had.

    As far as the wolf hunting is concerned, I am not that knowledgable about it, but won't thinning the wolfpack benefit those caribou you greenies are so concerned will be adversely affected by oil exploration.

    Using your logic, I should now be able to call you a caribou-hater.

    I am guessing the Alaskan government determined there to be some benefit to keeping the wolf population in check, hence the aerial hunting program. Around here, the government controls the deer population similarly, though not with aerial hunting.

    Here is the Covenant House Alaska website itself:

    http://covenanthouseak.org/

    It says at the top of the page, "Our House is Fill - Help Us Build a New Home".

    How much clearer do they need to be?

    I never said anything about the prior year. She cut more than a million dollars of funding that the state legislature allocated to the Alaskan Covenant House.

    Just saying you need the money and asking for it should not mean you are going to be able to automatically get it.

    And the most pertinent figure to compare the funding to is what they received the prior year. That's actual money. She cut money from a proposed budget. Its very different.

    Opposite Scenario:

    Let's say the bill proposed cutting funding and she restored some of the cuts. I cannot go out now and say she increased funding because it would not be true. She would have just not cut as much.

    It wasn't our lack of prestige that caused most of Europe to lose it's nerve when it came time to stand up to Russia over it's invasion of Georgia. Europe wimped out just on political and economic measures.

    Sort of a thread jack:

    There are Sarah Palin action figures available for $30. There are three different outfits:

    1. Business Attire
    2. Super Hero (Heroine)
    and...(drumroll) The classic catholic school girl stripper Sarah! Complete with knee socks.

    I think the first 2 are available but the 3rd afaik is just a photocropped picture along with the one with her toting a gun while in a bikini.

    No, it's avail. The media is calling it the 'school girl model'.

    First they claim Obama has not enough experience and is too much of a celeb then they bring in this self described pitbull in lipstick with even less experience and start making action figures in honor of her?!?

    Yet another example in the long list of them being giant fucking hypocrites.

    ^bangs head in.

    Um, they aren't made or endorsed by the Republican party.

    They're created by a company (herobuilders.com).

    They also have McCain dolls, Obama dolls, Spitzer dolls, etc.

    Don't worry. The poster you replied to would never let a trivial thing like facts get in the way of her attack.

    I'm starting to think she has some sort of multiple allergy to facts; reputable sources; reasoned argument and certainly, CIVIL DISCOURSE .

    WTF?

    Dude, get over your obsession with me already, geez! As of right now nearly 1/2 of your last 25 posts either quotes me, is to me or is about me.

    I haven't blocked you yet because every once and awhile you say something interesting about a subject and I'd like to not have to block you. However, you are REALLY starting to look like a net stalker and honestly it is getting creepy.

    Seriously, you clearly know I don’t care what you think about my personal opinions so why can’t you just carry on without trying to bait me or insult me? For fucks sake, just leave me alone!

    Uhm, ok. But since you have been informed that you are really creeping me out, you won’t mind honoring my request for you to leave me alone from now on, right?

    Let me see if I have this straight.
    YOU personally attack me and call ME names.
    I do NOT respond in kind.

    I respond to your posts, as I have every right to do, and that is somehow equivalent to "stalking" you ?

    And it's "weirding " you out ? And you want Me to leave You alone ?

    Did you ever hear the expression : "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen " ?

    YOU are the one who chooses to personalize everything. Not me.

    YOU are the one who insists on posting from your gut and every time I attack one of your IDEAS; ( not YOU, your ideas ) you throw a hissy fit.

    Wow. You are outright REFUSING even though you know your CONSTENT attention towards me has been creeping me completely out. That says alot. And yet your not stalking my posts? Yeah, right Ok well. Since you can't bother to honor a simple request from a woman to be left alone, I guess I have no other choice in regards to dealing with you.

    Apparently you are SERIOUS so I suppose I ought to stop laughing and start feeling sorry for you.
