This morning John McCain surprised a lot of people by picking Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. In the coming weeks and months you will no doubt find out a lot more about her. My small contribution is this link. It is a link to a video podcast that I subscribe to called Alaska HDTV. The host goes on different hikes around Alaska and talks about them and shows them. In this specific episode he goes to Juneau (Alaska's Capital) to do a hike to the Mendenhal Glacier, but when the weather turns bad he decides to walk around downtown instead. He goes over to the Governor's mansion and meets up with Sarah Palin and walks to work with her. So enjoy the episode, learn more about Sarah Palin, and send Scott any comments and feedback you might have about his video podcast.

Time to Move to Alaska

According to this article by the Anchorage Daily News every Alaskan is going to get roughly $3,300 just for living in Alaska this year. Here is the breakdown:
Permanent Fund Divident = $2,100
Resource Rebate = $1,200

The annual dividend payment comes from investment profits of the $36 billion Alaska Permanent Fund, a state oil-wealth savings account.

The resource rebate is new and came about as a result of high energy prices.

So if you want to pay 0 state income tax, 0 sales tax in most areas, and get paid just for living there, you should move to Alaska. :-)
