Sarah Palin Belongs on Fox Not Discovery

Discovery Communications is planning to produce an 8-part TV show on Sarah Palin's Alaska. Palin is an American politician, author, speaker, and political commentator, but this former Republican Vice Presidential nominee is no friend of green. Palin began her political career in 1992 as a member of the Wasilla, Alaska City Council (population 5,469 at the 2000 census) and she then became the city's mayor. In 2002 she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, in 2004 she resigned. In 2006 she became the Governor of Alaska, in 2009 she resigned due to ethics complaints.

In November 2009 her autobiography Going Rogue: An American Life was released and it quickly became a best-seller.

In January 2010 Palin began providing political commentary for the populist conservative media outlet Fox News. In March 2010 Discovery Communications announced that she was to host her own TV show that aims to showcase the "powerful beauty of Alaska." Her position on Fox is entirely consistent with her right wing persona, but entirely out of place at Discovery.

While in office, Palin favored oil and gas development over increased protections for endangered animals. She resisted efforts to protect endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales and America's dwindling populations of polar bears. She supported dangerous drilling for oil in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, and escalated Alaska's brutal aerial wolf-killing program.

Palin's disrespect for the environment and disregard for science has done real damage to Alaska's wildlife and endangered Alaska's natural heritage.

A petition is being circulated to send a powerful message to Discovery Communications urging them to drop Sarah Palin's new show from their programming schedule.

Re: How can I promote my site? - Hi Sarah Writing articles that are in line with your website business is one way. If you have spare cash and a bit of knowledge you could use PPC advertising or find blogs in your niche and offer to write an article for them to publish on their blog with links back to your site. These are just a couple of ideas, I am sure that others will have a lot more for you. MichelleJ
Re: My own page - [quote="OmnivoreInk":2xk5rdol]I also have Google as my home page, because I've got about 8 different Newsfeeds on it, from Science and Discovery to BBC news (which for some reason never talks about news in England except sports, and while I like sports - I don't care for soccer which is all they ever talk about!)[/quote:2xk5rdol] I use iGoogle with a few different news feeds on it as well, including EvanCarmichael.com feed and Sitepoint.
Re: Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. - I have seen this first hand and find It sad to see talent or gifted people waste their talents. Others with less talent can improve themselves with though hard work. Hard work alone is not enough, where possible, coaching can help them recognize where their weakness may lie and through work hard improve on that aspect of their talent. Discovery is often a necessary part being a talent. Wonder how many nights on the road covering 16 states, did i find great and entertaining talent singing at a local hangout
