Surprise, Surprise

For all the talk about how fluffy and lacking in details (and discipline) the Vice-Presidential debate last week was, there was some interesting information that came forth. For example, Joe Biden spoke about how he approves of realistic intervention and would like to create a no-fly zone over Darfur. Sarah Palin then joined in and agreed with him, noting that she had supported Alaska's divestment from Sudan as a form of protest. "When I and others in the legislature found out that we had some millions of dollars in Sudan, we called for divestment through legislation of those dollars," Palin said at the debate.

Game. Set. Match. Winner: Caribou Barbie

I don't know anything about this subject. Does anyone know a place where I can get good background info about it? "It" being this protest and who was or wasn't involved and where the money was coming and going from.

You can get the Caribou Barbie Playset at Walmart. Comes with a chopper, wounded wolf, and a .12 gage with a shotgun grip that matches her nails.
