Palin: “I love that smell of emissions"
In a posting on her political action committee website, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate said Rolling Thunder, through the roar of tens of thousands of bike engines, keeps alive the Memorial Day spirit of honoring veterans.

“I love that smell of emissions,” Palin told Fox News at yesterday’s rally.

Palin’s campaign-style “One Nation Tour” by bus from Washington through New England could be a prelude to a bid for the Republican nomination -- or an effort to command the spotlight as the competition heats up.

“It’s a smart political move on her part,” said Kristina Skirving, a 42-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina. “She’s all about guns and America. She knows there’s a lot of patriotic people here whose vote she could get.”

(so apparently you have to love guns to be patriotic)

"Only Palin would kick off her BUS tour on a motorcycle."

7. Her family continued to use leaded gasoline long after 1975...
unfortunately they also used leaded gas to heat and light their home in lamps and open flame heaters. The choice of this fuel, based on familiarity and price in Alaska in the 60s and 70s, forged an indelible association of home and security with the smell of burning gasoline for young Sarah. While the smell of petrol fumes and smoke convey warmth and safety to her, doctors say it is also responsible for her lifelong R word problem - the permanent disability which bundles her brain in a smothering blanket of incomprehension.

13. We need a "LIKE" button for posts, like on Facebook.
I was thinking the same thing.

Just attach one end of a hose to the tailpipe, and suck on the other end like it was Todd....
