It seems according to Alaska's court records that the Palin clan have quite a list of crimes and misdemeanors.
Bristol Plain has 3 charges against her for a collision which happened when she was apparently off school sick for several months, no insurance, failed to avoid collision...
Todd has a Driving under the influence conviction
Sarah has a criminal negligence and some minor misdemeanors
But the really master is Track, who has speeding offenses and who it is emerging from rumors apparently from his schoolmates, after months of campaign secrecy was forced into the army after a spree of criminal damage, which included cutting the brake lines on all the local school buses, vandalism, theft, and alcohol charges.
The track stuff is of course rumor, but has never been denied by the Palin family.
And these are the people neo conservative want standing on the white house lawn???
I mean Piper (names after oil disaster?) look like such a nice girl.....
Any way you look at itIt seems according to Alaska's court records that the Palin clan have quite a... more

In some of the poorest parts of Nigeria, where evangelical religious fervour is combined with a belief in sorcery and black magic, many thousands of children are being blamed for catastrophes, death and famine - and branded witches by powerful pastors. These children are then abandoned, tortured, starved and murdered - all in the name of Jesus Christ.
This Dispatches Special follows the work of one Englishman, 29-year-old Gary Foxcroft, who has devoted his life to helping these desperate and vulnerable children. Gary's charity, Stepping Stones Nigeria, raises funds to help Sam Itauma, who five years ago, rescued four children accused of witchcraft. He now struggles to care for over 150 in a makeshift shelter and school in the Niger Delta region called CRARN (Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network).
Gary and Sam introduce Dispatches to some of the rescued children who have been through unimaginable horrors, such as Ekemeni, aged 13, who was tied up with chicken wire and starved and beaten for two weeks, and Mary, aged 14, who was burnt with acid before her mother attempted to bury her alive. Other children display the hallmarks of witch-branding - acid burns and machete scars. Uma Eke, aged 17, has been left brain-damaged after having a three-inch nail driven into her skull.
Hospitals refuse to treat children associated with sorcery, so Sam's centre does its best to provide medical aid. As well as the physical scars, the children arrive at the shelter badly traumatised by their experiences, with many of them brain-washed into accepting they are possessed by the devil.
The parents or siblings of children torture them in an attempt to kill them or force confessions from them to admit that they are witches. As Gary remarks, the children at CRARN are the lucky ones - they're still alive.
Influential preachers from the more extreme churches brand the children witches or wizards and exploit their desperate parents by charging them exorbitant amounts of money in return for exorcising the spirits. The film features extraordinary access to some of the preachers who openly discuss their work. One preacher who calls himself 'The Bishop,' says he has made a fortune by carrying out 'deliverances' on children. He admits having killed 110 people in the past. Dispatches films him as he administers a mixture of pure alcohol, a substance known as 'African mercury' and his own blood to one child accused of witchcraft.A friend in London just sent me this link.
