Practically Speaking

Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers’ perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.

Our VP's nickname was Sarah Barracuda

"She's a female Teddy Roosevelt" a caller told Jay Weber today, as I was listening for the latest VP news. That sums it up well.

Sarah Palin seems a perfect complement to McCain: Young, energetic, a governor, pro-marriage, passionately pro-life. She is a life long member of the NRA, hunts and ice fishes.

McCain and Palin have the potential to get our budget under control and end waste. Palin's nickname was the barracuda in high school.

I heard she cleaned house in Alaska, leaving a trail of bodies in her wake. (Many of them good ole boy republicans!)  It sounds like she won't tolerate corruption or waste regardless of whose party it comes from. That is what we need.

I think Ronald Reagan would be pleased. I know I am breathing a sigh of relief. I will feel even better when I hear John McCain say it himself. (I am a bit of a Doubting Thomas at times.)

My Two Cents   

What great news!!!  I can't wait to see the bump McCain and Palin get today.  It's a great day to be conservative.  No more holding our noses at the polls.  Now let's talk about pro-life issues!  Sarah Palin personifies the sanctity of life.

Kyle's reply: I am so pleased. I just watched her acceptance speech. Wow!

Talk about timing, as she said in her speech, it is also the 88th anniversary (+ 3 days) of the 19th Amendment: Women's right to vote.

On a side note, today is Sarah and Todd Palin's 20th wedding anniversary and John McCain's 72nd birthday.

Kyle, the former Miss Wasilla isn't just another salmon burner; she's the real thing! Wasilla - her home town - is a burg just north of Anchorage.

I'll have to stay up late tonight and call my Alaskan cousins to get the full story on her.

Johnny Mac may have just pulled off the coup of the decade!
