Yesterday, Sarah Palin repeated her misleading love story to herself about "thanks, but not thanks" on the Bridge to Nowhere. She said no to the bridge -- after it was dead and gone, but yes to the money. And now Alaska is building an access road on Gravina Island to service that non-existent bridge -- WTH? Because otherwise the money would have gone back to the federal government. Better wasted than returned, I guess, is her theory. Fiscal conservative? Not so much.

Palin pushed to increase taxes on oil companies (guess who's going to end up paying it?). Palin decided those fund should be distributed as $1,200 to each and every Alaskan -- yep, even Trig gets it -- instead of being used for infrastructure, which she herself said the state needed. Instead, that money comes from federal earmarks -- which means that instead of Alaskans paying for Alaskan improvements, residents of the other 49 states are doing so. Fiscal conservative? With Alaskan's money, yes. With everyone else's? Not so much.
