Great Quote from Palin's Dad:
"I'd rather go moose hunting than be involved with politics." I hope someone prints up some "Politics? I'd rather go moose hunting" t-shirts.

Yes, I know, too easy.
They don't kill moose just for fun in Alaska. They eat them.
Having fun is just a bonus.
Unfortunately there's no moose in D.C., but maybe if his daughter becomes Veep and moves into the Vice President's house at the Naval Observatory, when he comes to visit he can spend his free time plinking at all the squirrels up there. Preferably with a firearm presently mis-defined as a "machinegun" by D.C.'s gun control ordinances.
...ain't you the life of the party.
As noted above, game is eaten in many areas as a practical and available source of nourishment, Alaska certainly being one of them, Scote's ignorance of this not withstanding.
Eating moose, even being in the kitchen while it is being prepared, is a... singular experience. :))
Last October in Montana, I had moose salad sandwiches for lunch- chopped moose mixed with MiracleWhip® and pickle juice on homemade white bread- delicious.
"Of course hunting/eating moose is far worse then cows..."
It's a caste thing, you wouldn't understand.
Yeah, Democrats hate Jon Tester. The thing with hunting moose is sometimes they hunt back.
If I saw a person wearing that shirt, I would assume they would be much, much, much more likely to be able to name their state's senators than an average person on the street.
How he got in my pajamas I'll never know.
... or with a picture of a moose in the cross-hairs, staring out under a thought-bubble that says, "It could be worse -- they could be politicians."

Is it true the moose said she was delicious with MiracleWhip® and pickle juice on homemade white bread?
You would mock MiracleWhip®? Damn you, sir- (*smek-smek* lightly slaps you with glove).
Your choice of time, place, and weapons of course- I'll send my man around in the morning.
I was going to suggest, "computer viruses, your hard drive, when you least expect it" but that strikes me as the type of thing you don't joke about. So I'll opt instead for cluster bombs at twenty paces after I finish my laundry, which I trust you'll find suitable.
You'll have to describe your laundry in order that I can make a decision as to it's suitability- bearing in mind that too-casual attire would be a mistake in any season.
Yours &etc.
MiracleWhip® and pickle juice makes a wonderful cologne. I recommend wearing it if you're looking for a truly memorable weekend camping experience in Yosemite. Remember, the cuddly bears you'll meet just want to be your friend.
Has there even been a reporter who could ask a follow up to that?
...touche.
[Important Note to Helpful Readers: If we have confusing typos and especially ugly formatting errors, such as an unclosed underline or bold tag, we'd love to hear from you about them -- but please e-mail the author about this, rather than leaving a comment. We often won't read the comments for a while after the post, and if there's a glaring formatting error, we'd see it quickly when we revisit the post, even without the comment; and in any event the comment likely isn't going to be that helpful to your fellow comment readers. So please e-mail us directly about glitches like this. Thanks!]
Comment Policy: We'd like the posts to be civil, of course (no profanity, personal insults, and the like), but we're also hoping that people try to be as calm, reasoned, and substantive as possible. So please, also avoid rants, invective, substantial and repeated exaggeration, and radical departures from the topic of the thread. Sticking with substance -- and staying on-topic -- will make the comments more helpful to other readers, and more pleasant.
As editors, we reserve the right to delete posts, and even to kick out posters, though we hope that both of these will be exceptional events. (We also reserve the right to be busy with other things, and therefore (1) not remove all the posts that might merit removal, and (2) ignore demands such as "You should remove A's posts, because they're just as bad as B's!")
Here's a tip: Reread your post, and think of what people would think if you said this over dinner. If you think people would view you as a crank, a blowhard, or as someone who vastly overdoes it on the hyperbole, rewrite your post before hitting enter.
And if you think this is the other people's fault -- you're one of the few who sees the world clearly, but fools wrongly view you as a crank, a blowhard, or as someone who overdoes it on the hyperbole -- then you should still rewrite your post before hitting enter. After all, if you're one of the few who sees the world clearly, then surely it's especially important that you frame your arguments in a way that is persuasive and as unalienating as possible, even to fools.
Our goal is to provide an interesting and pleasant environment that can help inform readers. To do that, we'll occasionally have to exercise our editorial discretion. Think of this as an in-person discussion group, where having different voices is critical to a great conversation -- but where sometimes the leader has to deal with cranks who sour the conversation more than they enliven it.
Naturally, there's always a risk that this discretion will be used erroneously, no matter how well-intentioned the editor. But discussion groups (especially on the Internet, but also off it) generally need an editor who'll occasionally make such judgments.
And, remember, it's a big Internet. If you think we were mistaken in removing your post (or, in extreme cases, in removing you) -- or if you prefer a more free-for-all approach -- there are surely plenty of ways you can still get your views out.
