"ANCHORAGE — For many Alaskans, Sarah Palin is a figure in the rearview mirror, the memories of her time as governor obscured and distorted by the national spotlight she stepped into as Republican vice-presidential candidate, pundit and Tea Party darling. And often as not the memories come with a grumble anyway, since her shooting-star career mostly took off after leaving the state.

Democrats in Alaska Praise Palin
Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times
Jack Roderick, a former mayor of Anchorage, said: “She did the right thing. She put in a tax that was tough on the big guys.”
But now the Palin legacy is being burnished, if not a little airbrushed, by a seemingly unlikely source: Democrats. The reason is oil.
Ms. Palin was elected governor in 2006 on a pledge to clean house after revelations of oil-industry corruption in the State Legislature, and in 2007 oversaw a sweeping overhaul of policy that included big new taxes on oil profits. But this year Gov.

Sarah Palin Claims Jesus Celebrated Easter
Sarah Palin claimed today that Jesus Christ celebrated Easter during his time on Earth.
In an interview with Fox and Friends this morning, the former Alaska governor promoted her new book about the left's "war on Christmas" and argued that all Christian holidays should return to the traditional versions practiced by Jesus."
And the first reply. Needless to say this come from a left only thread. Some of those posters make our lefties look middle of the road.
"Hilarious. But actually if she was able to think about it, she could said, "Well, Brian, it isn't his death that we celebrate, it is his resurrection. Get it? He didn't really die, he was resurrected, he came back, and taught everyone that lefties were mean evil people who like to kill babies."
