Scandal

By connecticut man1 on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 4:02pm

to be announced? lol

Speculation abounds, of course

especially since none of the major networks made it to Wasilla for the press conference. Apparently Todd Palin's involvement with the Alaska Independence Party -- and his wife's efforts, revealed by a McCain staffer's emails Keith Olbermann obtained, to cover up same in interviews with, among others, CBS news -- was a bigger problem than we knew.

The new house - The new arena - Embezzling?

By connecticut man1 on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 9:43pm

Via Brad Blog, the other shoe drops?

Okay, I've now been able to get independent information from multiple sources that all of this precedes what are said to be possible federal indictments against Palin, concerning an embezzlement scandal related to the building of Palin's house and the Wasilla Sports Complex built during her tenure as Mayor. Both structures, it is said, feature the "same windows, same wood, same products." Federal investigators have been looking into this for some time, and indictments could be imminent, according to the Alaska sources.

The BRAD BLOG has not been able to receive confirm from any federal sources on this. Our information comes from local Alaskans who follow Palin, and who have been keeping an eye on this for some time, while keeping it quiet at the request of federal investigators.

It is quite likely

As a guy who has owner built a few houses, I am an authority on what it takes. The official story during the campaigns last year simply failed any reasonable test.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
