I say my son is about six months old since he is not yet six months. When he is just over six months I will also say he is about six months since he will not be exactly six month anymore. Pretty simple. It's funny that you say your children were born right when the due date was. Funny because every OB nurse in the maternity ward laughed about the due date since fewer than 10% of children are born on their due date. My wife went almost 10 days late. Does that mean the kid was late or just that they estimated the date of conception incorrectly. Since it is not possible to pinpoint the moment of conception except in very rare instances it is nothing more than an estimation.

Tazer set to test? WTF is that about? Does that really matter? That would be like saying I pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger, but it was supposed to be empty/only have blanks. Stupid argument. It should not have happened.

So as mayor she is now being vilified because she secured funding for a youth shelter, for a transportation hub (think about how one would get to medical professionals in rural AK), hevean forbid for sewer repairs, and even for a rail project. Let me get this straight. She secured funding, created new jobs, improved her town, all while improving the budget. Lets see also from what I can tell the article only has $7.1 million actually cited ($1 million in 2000 and $6.1 million in 2002) not the $27 milllion mentioned. So it looks to me from what is laid out in the article over four years there were $3.55 million in earmarks per year of that time period (2000-2002). Now without reading all of the bills with the earmarks I can't say what kind of oversight was written into the bills, but I would also wonder if maybe these were tied into a larger network of earmarks being used specific projects (like transportation) statewide.

One other note. It's pretty funny that the article tries to tie Palin into the corruption of senator (Ted Stevens) because they both employed the same third party vendor. I guess with that logic there are PLENTY of people who have had contracts with the same vendor as criminals. Let's tar and feather all of them with loose (not even real) connections to criminals.
