The scoop on the 'Burned Foot'

From Gryphen at Immoral Minority

Well at least we can finally stop talking about this "burned foot" story and move on to the nex...wait...am I forgetting something?

Sarah's Canada

Okay, according to Sarah's dad the family went to Whitehorse to fix up her brother's burned foot just like she said during her speech in Canada, but isn't there some other version of this story that Sarah also told? Say to the Skagway News back in 2007? Palin drew from her Skagway past to illustrate her point. Her brother burned his foot badly jumping through a fire, and her mother had to take him down to Juneau on the ferry to the hospital. “All these years later, that’s still what people have to rely on here in some instances,” she said.

Well gee Sarah your own father just called bullshit on the story you told the Skagway News. And do you know the ironic part? It would be this quote from that same article: A proud father, Chuck Heath, said later that his daughter was honest to the core.

Really? "Honest to the core"? Sarah Palin?

You see the real story here is that Sarah Palin is a liar.

She lies as easily and as often as other people fill their lungs with air.

She does it to cover for something she did.

She does it to make herself seem important or special.

And sometimes she does for no good reason at all, just because she can.

And she will continue to do it as long as the media lets her get away with it, and as long as there are people like RAM, C4P, and Fox News willing to provide cover for her.

(Do you want to know a secret? I found this AP story over on C4P. They were using it to discredit the people calling Palin out for her Canadian health care story. Don'tcha just love it?)

Update: The Calgary Herald reaches much the same conclusion that I do.

So this does suggest that either her brother had two accidents, or Sarah Palin was fibbing to the Skagway News a few years ago.

Boy those Canucks are a pretty sharp bunch aren't they?

Palin Crossed Border For Canadian Health Care

Sarah is a Disgrace

Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.

"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?"

The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada's health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and 'death-panel'-like rationing. Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska. Up to the age of six, Palin lived in a remote town near the closest Canadian city, Whitehorse.

Officials at several hospitals in that area declined to give out information on patient visits.

Sarah Palin working on book that will honor 'American virtues and strengths'

Publisher HarperCollins announced Wednesday that the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate is working on a "celebration of American virtues and strengths." The book is currently untitled and no release date has been set.

"She will also draw from her personal experience to amplify these timely -- and timeless-- themes."

Fur Rondy

Fur Rondy Fur Rendezvous is a winter celebration of Alaska's fur trapping and trading heritage that is held in Anchorage each February. The Fur Rendezvous dates from the 1930s; the Alaskan fur trade dates back to the days when Alaska was a Russian territory. Charles Dana, in his book Two Years Before the Mast, tells of encountering a Russian fur trading vessel that had come down from Kodiak, Alaska, to California in the 1830s. Fur trapping continues in Alaska; animals that are infrequently seen in the Lower 48 remain plentiful in Alaska today. Fur Rendezvous provides Alaskans relief from the winter doldrums with a carnival, fur auction, a ball, parade, snow sculpting contest -- the photos above and at right are of entries in recent contests -- the World Championship Sled Dog Race (not to be confused with the Iditarod, this race consists of three 25-mile heats over the course of three days), fireworks, a blanket toss, and more. Below, a dog shows its strength by hauling a weight-filled sled a measured distance in the World Championship Dog Weight Pulling Contest.
