A question for Sarah Palin

Dear Sarah,

Next week Alaskan's will be getting a check for over three thousand dollars a piece, $3269 to be exact. This check will bear your name, Sarah Palin. The check comes from the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, a fund worth nearly $40 billion dollars.

You pushed for the additional $1200 to be added to help people with the cost of fuel in Alaska, where in some places the price for one gallon of fuel has reached over $8. People are desperate already and the snow has yet to fly. You have done nothing to help to this point.

Surely your intentions were to keep the children of rural Alaska warm this winter. Surely you intended this money to help offset the cost of transportation, heating fuel, and food. Surely this check will help people who pay over $7 for a gallon of milk. Surely this check you pushed to "get to Alaskans right away" is because you really care, not because you wanted Alaskans to remember your name when they stepped into the voting booth.

I know, I know, you pushed for all of this before you made the only real decision of your short and inexperienced political career, which was accept McCain's feeble attempt to convince America we'd be safer your hands. Or did you? Did you know?
You wouldn't be the first to buy a vote.
