McCain may be Sarah's trojan horse to catapult herself and the "first dude" into the White House.

Well, one of the many shoes that dropped this week is that it is "Alaska First", not America First. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle4687705.ece

Out of curiousity, I looked up the words to the Alaska State Song and found it sort of mysterious and interesting:

The Alaska State Song

Alaska's Flag

words by Marie Drake, music by Elinor Dusenbury

Eight stars of gold on a field of blue -
Alaska's flag. May it mean to you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky,
The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby;
The gold of the early sourdough's dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the northern sky,
The "Bear" - the "Dipper" - and, shining high,
The great North Star with its steady light,
Over land and sea a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag - to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of a last frontier.

Second verse written by Carol Beery Davis

A Native lad chose the Dipper's stars
For Alaska's flag that there be no bars
Among our culture. Let it be known
Through years the Native's past has grown
To share life's treasures, hand in hand,
to keep Alaska our Great-Land;
We love the northern midnight sky,
the mountains, lakes and streams nearby.
The great North Star with its steady light
will guide all cultures, clear and bright,
with nature's flag to Alaskan's dear,
the simple flag of the last frontier.
