Heads up, New Yorkers! SP may be headed your way...

It sounds like Alaska may no longer be big enough to contain Sarah's ambitions. This from The Alaska Ear (Sheila Toomey), political gossip columnist, at the Anchorage Daily News:

http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/876846.html

• Finally, a question: Will Sarah actually move Outside, or just spend so much time out there that she's not eligible for next year's PFD (permanent fund dividend)? Citing a "very reliable" real estate dealer, a NYC blog is reporting she and Todd have been looking at houses around Hampton Bays on Long Island. "It seems that she started looking at smaller houses and has now graduated to looking at larger homes. Her husband is said to like the good fishing on Long Island. Perhaps the speculation about her planning a position with right wing Fox news is correct too," writes Lily Loring on www.Gothamgirl.info.

Loring adds: "Just a friendly note ... In New York State, we do not hunt animals from airplanes."

1. they will still get the money

Just have to fly up to alaska once a year

[Blue_In_AK]

12. You can't be out of the state for more than six months,

I believe, or maybe even just three and still get your PFD unless you're a soldier or student who plans to return to Alaska after graduation.

2. I read this a week ago on DU, courtesy of a link to Dan's Papers.

It may or may not be true. All I know is the name of the realtor cited in the article is not traceable via google. And realtors out in The Hamptons are celebrities in their own rights, so I find it suspicious I can't find his name identified with any real estate concern.

5. Hampton Bays?

Where is that, Southhampton? Why would they live way the heck out there?

[no_hypocrisy]

26. I'm from there and can explain.

The Hamptons is a group of towns such as Southampton, Bridgehampton, Wainscot, Sag Harbor, and East Hampton. Hampton Bays, Westhampton, and Quogue on kind of on the cusp and almost Hamptons. It's beautiful except for the traffic during the summer. There are still some little Cape Cods that haven't been bulldozed for McMansions for the celebrities. It's near the ocean, a lot of toney Manhattan stores are on the Main Streets, private clubs, etc.

If the article is true, I could understand SP leaving Todd behind to clam and fish while she takes a helicopter ride to the City. (You didn't think for a minute that she was going to be stuck in traffic for three hours with the rest of us peasants on the Long Island Expressway, did you?)

3. C'mon America, wouldn't it be easier to move a Nieman Marcus store to Wasilla?

[Stephanie]

7. There's no Nieman Marcus in NYC.

So maybe we're safe? :scared:

[saltpoint]

4. O god.

O god.

[spanone]

6. how do you apply for a mortgage when you're unemployed?

[dysfunctional press]

21. when you have a co-signer named murdoch.

[Raineyb]

8. That bitch is not welcomed here.

Since we're not real America why would she squat here. Piss off Sarah we don't want you here.

9. The Fox plane was supposedly sitting on an airstrip in Alaska

and Murdoch's yacht was moored somewhere "up there." I read this on DU a few days ago. We all saw this coming, didn't we? I was hoping she'd start a third party so we could watch the repugs in a circular firing squad. Oh well.

17. They were both in Juneau

about the same time as the moving van picking up Piper's tricycle.

[Catshrink]

25. I knew I'd read it somewhere

Thanks for confirming that I'm not losing my mind. :evilgrin:

BTW, my nephew, who works for the State of Alaska, had to go help out with the picnic yesterday. He's ambivalent about her leaving. He likes his working situation now and wonders how much it will change under the new administration.

10. No wolves to hunt from the air in NYC. Can Palin hit a rat from a

helicopter?

[lurky]

14. Maybe, but NYC rats might shoot back.

Better not to piss them off. :scared:

[saltpoint]

16. LOL! This could be better than a monster truck rally.

[lurky]

18. Definitely a good show... n/t

[salguine]

11. Aw, shit. I thought SP meant "Single-Payer".

[area51]

13. Me too. (n/t)

[parasim]

15. So did I.

[mitchtv]

27. I thought Southern Pacific was putting in a link to

the NYCentral

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Oh, gosh, you last three posters, I'm sorry.

I'm just so tired of typing the b****'s name I've taken to abbreviating it. I didn't even think about the "single payer" thing. :blush:

[saltpoint]

22. Blue, there you went and got their hopes up for Single Payer and all

they're gonna git is Sarah Palin.

Major bummer!


:hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

23. I know, I feel so bad.

On another note, here's another little clip from The Ear this morning:

• Ear didn't personally see one but is told that some Alaska lawmakers who attended the National Conference of State Legislators in Philadelphia last week wore specially made buttons that said: "I'm from Alaska. Please don't ask me about Her."

:rofl:

We are all looking forward to a return to "normalcy," whatever that is in this crazy place.

[saltpoint]

24. Great slogan. "Please don't ask me about Her." LOL!

You did luck out with her resination. Plus it looks as if she's going to be on the other side of the continent from y'all.

[LLStarks]

20. As a Long Islander, this news is disconcerting. nt

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

28. Letterman would love that.
