Look what $150,000 of political contributions to the RNC can buy. As reported by Politico, the Republican National Committee and the John McCain campaign are in a little bit of hot water politically speaking over Sarah Palin's post-VP nomination shopping sprees. Receipts identify mini-shopping sprees of $49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York and $75,062.63 at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis during the RNC Convention. Every member of the family received a new wardrobe, even husband, Todd Palin and baby Trig. This news comes at a most inopportune time when Palin has been trying to claim that she and John McCain relate better to the everyday struggles of "Joe Six-Pack" than do Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Of course, the U.S. is also in an economic recession in which the stock market has crashed numerous times devaluing the investments & 401-K's of regular folks and hundreds of thousands of hard working Americans are being laid off. What poor taste! But then again, I never said the GOP politicians had any common sense. Of course, this would be the same party that mocked Senator John Edwards for getting $400 haircuts on his campaign dime.

There is seriously something bad in the air up there! In the great state of Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin has been legendary for giving her children strange names, if nothing else, for which she should be severely reprimanded. In honor of the proud Palin family tradition I'm thinking of naming my upcoming children strangely. Some that my son, Reuben, and I came up with from the Hodges Family Name Generator are Jumper, Miler, Chimack, Big Mac, Calculus, Ruler, Rock Coke, Crack and Shilaminy. Now I don't think that my wife really wants to have all these children, so I'll probably just name the first couple that we have together, then adopt some foreign children a la Madonna, and force them to take these names give new names to them.L-R Track (oldest son), Piper (youngest daughter), Willow (middle daughter) holding baby Trig, Levi Johnston (boyfriend) standing next to Bristol (oldest daughter), Todd Palin (the first dude) & Sarah (Barracuda) Palin
