So for a Palin quiz question: Did Sarah say that she could see Russia from her house?
No, she never said that. There are two islands in the Bering Sea, one is Big Diomede which is Russian. The other is Little Diomede which is American. They are 3 miles apart. You can see Big Diomede from Little Diomede and vice versa. So unless you are living on the west side of Little Diomede Island you can't see Russia from your house.

BTW, did you know Sarah Palin's husband is sueing her for divorce?
Turns out everybody knows the answer. LOL Bob21. I've heard nothing of a divorce. Family issues have hit the local news sometimes, but there usually has to be an arrest involved before I notice it covered. I'm assuming your source is good. Did you find out from family? Personally, I'm hoping that the news gives this a pass. Governor Palin was different before her Vice Presidential bid. She was pretty popular and reportedly even brought cookies to legislators. More important to me is the extra billions she got from oil companies. That money is looking especially good right now. Her run brought her fame and fortune, but cost her support back home. I'm guessing she would have been a 2 term governor and eventually made a national splash had she stayed put. Who knows which route would have left her happier. Roads not taken.
The 2008 presidential election cost her dearly. She got hit with a ton of frivolous lawsuits that she couldn't afford to pay lawyers to defend against. The frivolous lawsuits are a routine Dem tactic. Her only recourse was to resign as Governor of Alaska and take the big money she could get from appearances and speeches. Fox News alone payed her 1 million dollars a year.
