Coincidence?</p> <p>In <em>"Sarah Palin's Alaska"</em> on TLC Sarah shows the public exactly how to be an Irresponsible Hunter. <br />An Alaskan Native jokingly asked me once, "How do you feed your family when you shoot like that?"</p> <p>I'd like to ask Sarah Palin that question. I know more about Alaska than she does. In the 70's, for two summers, I worked for an exploration company hired by Los Alamos and the Department of Energy to prospect for uranium - all over the face of Alaska - 18 hours a day in helicopters piloted by Vietnam veterans. I literally saw all of the state north, east and west of Fairbanks via those choppers and our mobile camp. I crashed with my crew in ANWR in a blaze of fire, and it took them nearly a week to find us in endless tundra, even when they knew basically where we were. Was once chase out of a village naked while Native folks waved shotguns and axes, as the Vietnam veterans unsheathed their guns back at the camp where we fled.</p> rss@dailykos.com (TBTM Julie) Alaska caribou Discovery Hunting Sarah Palin SarahPalin TheLearningChannel TLC _925833 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 19:50:01 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/4/14/857223/-Insider-Palin-s-Show-Is-a-New-All-Time-Low-for-Discovery <p>Last night on The Young Turks <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJMmWG2BbHw">we broke the story</a> of reaction to Sarah Palin's new show inside Discovery.

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091015/ap_on_re_us/us_interracial_rebuff">Bardwell said</a>.

The couple dresses the monkey, who they have named Jessica Marie, in designer clothes, put make-up on her, and buy her children&rsquo;s toys. &nbsp;Since I haven't seen the show, I cannot say for certain that it will not be favorable to the Monkey as pet concept, but I kind of doubt it will discuss what it really entails.</p> <p>I ask TLC to NOT show this program, monkeys are not pets, they are wild animals.</p> <p>Here is how Monkeys should live, out in the open with other monkeys...</p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PBLGwzHo0Fs&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" name="movie"></param><param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"></param><param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess"></param><embed width="425" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PBLGwzHo0Fs&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>See below the fold for a discussion of the issue...</p> rss@dailykos.com (Gangster Octopus) AnimalWelfare BornFreeUSA Monkeys MyMonkeyBaby Pets TheLearningChannel wildanimals _788593 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:19:38 +0000
