    Oh, and don't forget the awesome job Ms. Poehler did on the infamous "Moose Skit" - the Sarah Palin rap that Amy performed one week before delivering her baby. And there's Sarah Palin herself, bopping along to the words, . . . 8 days a week, shoot a mother-humpin' moose . . . cause I'm an animal and I'm bigger than you . . . ." Will someone please report on how the Moose Skit came to be? Who wrote it? Was Sarah Palin really going to perform it herself? Inquiring minds want to know.

      Inquiring minds want to know why Palin is in favor of shooting wolves from the air.

        Okay 40... let's not get out of hand here and start acting like a lib.... Remeber, your a pub! I'm trying to remember that.

        Sarah doesn't shoot animals from helicopters. She seems to support the practice, (such as wolves) as they are threatening the population of Elk, deer and so forth.

        40, let's look at the why and when and where before falling off the edge and behaving like a lib, which we all know yoiu aren't.

          Thanks for acknowledging that I'm not a lib, Pallisor. I guess that my initial reaction against the idea of shooting wolves from the air is that I prefer to see a natural balance. Perhaps I have a myopic view, but until I have information that supports the notion (which I certainly could accept as true if there were scientific basis) that after eons of ecological balance in Alaska wolves now pose a threat, to that balance, I imagine the supporters of shooting wolves from the air more like the ones who would shoot bison from trains as 'sport'. My views on Palin might be in there a bit too...

    I have an huge crush on Poler and her humor. The wife is OK with it. I am looking forward to her show. If it is any where as funny as 30 rock or weekend update on SNL than I will watch.
