The History Channel series ”Tougher in Alaska” is all about survival in an environment so harsh that most of us in the lower 48 can barely even imagine ourselves in some of the scenes the program brings to our television screens.

The LA Times’ Andrew Malcolm seems a bit perturbed that Sarah Palin apprently stole a TIME magazine Person of the Year runner-up award from former Vice President Al Gore.

Disgraced Democrat former senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, before he disgraced himself, was fond of saying that there were two Americas.

A recent GSP4P post addressed the “polarizing” meme. It’s just one of several memes used to attack Sarah Palin. These memes generally originate as Democrat Party talking points, get spread all over the leftosphere by Palin-hating bloggers, get picked up by the drive-by media and are hammered out incessantly by all of the usual suspects.
