There’s a vice presidential debate going on this evening. Okay, you knew that. If you don’t have your head in the sand, you will know it. There’s a game going around called Sarah Palin Bingo. Or just Palin Bingo. It’s to give people something to do while they watch the Veep debate.

There are words like Alaska, Tax Relief, Family, Russia, Hockey Mom, God, Country First, Job creation…When the word is mentioned, you plug it, mark it, or poke it.

But, there is something missing on the card? Some things… Green, environment, animals, wildlife, reserves, oil … Is that because we are expecting these words to never come up in her talk? Seems so.

The other day, CNN was poking fun at the McCain ticket because the two have such different views on the environment. I think that if both of them have exactly the same perspective then one of them is redundant. What’s wrong with having someone around you who thinks differently from you?

Barak Obama has accused the McCain/Palin campaign of being the equivalent of putting “lipstick on a pig.”

This statement doesn’t make GreenPacks angry because it’s sexist, or because it is an avert swipe at the only candidate in the final four to wear lipstick.

It doesn’t make GP angry because the slur is derogatory and the equivalent of mudslinging. Isn’t that what pigs do

It doesn’t make GP angry because Obama has to borrow a phrase he may have never used before in his Harvard educated life just to try to be funny or make a point. Is ‘lipstick on a pig’ really the best Obama can come up with?

No, it makes GreenPacks angry because Obama is insinuating that a pig would have anything to do with politics. We love animals here at Greenpacks, even porkers. And the worst thing I ever heard a pig say about another pig was, “that’s like putting mud lipstick on a politician. It’s still a politician.” You can tell, because the potlickers are all dirty.

And as one famous pig, that would be Porky, might say with regard to Obama’s campaign, “Th, th, that’s all folks.” Obama hasn’t got much left.

Sarah Palin is likely to be our next Vice President of the United States … president, too if McCain kicks the bucket in office. If so, the environmentalists will have a “killa from Wasilla” on their hands. Characterized as “cut, kill, dig and drill”…

1. Sarah Palin is against classifying the polar bear as a threatened species.

2. Sarah Palin argues the Bush administration doesn’t use the best science.

3. Sarah Palin doesn’t agree with federal marine scientists who say under the Endangered Species act that the Cook Inlet beluga whale needs protection.

4. Sarah Palin doesn’t have a problem with shooting wolves from the air to boost caribou and moose herds for hunters.

5. Sarah Palin is not convinced that global warming is the result of human activity.

6. Sarah Palin opposes increased protection of salmon streams from mining operations.

7. Sarah Palin is a hockey mom who can handle a gun, dress a moose and do commercial fishing.

8. Sarah Palin says those in the 48 States don’t understand the North Country.

CA Rep Miller “doesn’t understand rural Alaska, doesn’t comprehend wildlife management in the North, and doesn’t appreciate the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that gives states the right to manage their own affairs,” Palin said in a press release a year ago.

Let’s see … who do we listen to? Someone who lives there or someone from CA who is far removed?
