Talk about spreading the wealth check out what Gov. Palin did at your expense.

After Alaska Governor Palin ask for and received a Windfall Profit Tax on Big Oil, Alaska collected an estimated $6 billion from the new tax during the fiscal year that ended June 30, according to the Alaska Oil and Gas Association. That helped push the state's total oil revenue — from new and existing taxes, as well as royalties — to more than $10 billion, double the amount received last year.

While many other states are confronting big budget deficits because of the troubled economy, Alaska officials are in the enviable position of exploring new ways to spend the state's multibillion-dollar budget surplus.

Some of that new cash will end up in the wallets of Alaska's residents.

Palin's administration last week gained legislative approval for a special $1,200 payment to every Alaskan to help cope with gas prices.

That check will come on top of the annual dividend of about $2,000 that each resident could receive this year from an oil-wealth savings account.

Since Big Oil passed that tax on consumers, everyone (over 98% in the lower forty eight) now pay 6 Billion more for gas.  Net effect, we (lower forty eight) are subsidizing Alaska to the tune of $6 billion.

Nice to know our higher gas prices gave each Alaska a big fat check.-all thanks to Governor Palin.  

Robin Hood would be so proud!

Sarah really knows how to spread the wealth, at least for Alaskians:) 

Sarah, Macy’s is having a sale!

Note to Sarah Palin, Macy’s at Mayfair is having

An anniversary sale.

Macy’s is selling really nice clothes for 20%, 30% & 40% off regular

listed prices.

Blazers, tops, dress pants, even suits are all on sale this week!

With the $150,000 that RNC just gave VP candidate Sarah Palin for a clothes allowance and with Macy’s

great prices, Sarah could be looking really good for the next two weeks.

Maybe, she can even slip (pardon the pun) in a maturity dress in there for her daughter.

Hopefully Macy’s has their fur hooded winter coats in stock.

It’s never been a better time to shop at Macy’s and with $150K, Sarah can shop

til John drops.

Go Sarah Go, you deserve it.

I guess when Sarah talks about change, she thinking about "Wardrobe change"

Scouting Devils Lake

This last weekend, Badger Trails hosted scouts(boys/girls) from all over

Wisconsin.  The weekend was full of camping & hiking.  There was

also a record spin and dance for the older scouts.

It refreshing to see kids outdoors, enjoying one of the premier attractions

in the state without the need for Cable, itunes, AIM, gamecubes, etc……

It was also good for the adults to show by example the fun that can be

experienced by hiking in trails around Devils lake.

Troop #111 Whitman/West had 11 scouts camping which was large considering with was scheduled

on homecoming weekend.

We were lucky that the weather gods were kind to us and gave us great, rain-free weather.

We in Wisconsin are so very fortunate to have a wonderful State Park that

is so close to enjoy the natural world at it’s finest.

The peak colors weekends are still ahead of us, so if you can, take the ride out

To Devil’s lake and enjoy the  best season Wisconsin has to offer.

Scouting is a great way for parents to time with their kids and their kid's friends.
