This is the kind of down home (ha ha) detail that lets Sarah Palin connect with all the moms out there, just workin' and tryin' to raise their kids. How many of the children of "elites" can only afford a $172K house without getting a "job" first? (And who can get a job in the Obama Depression!)

<i>The difference between a grizzly and a hockey mom? The hockey mom shoots the grizzly mom's cub, not vis-a-versa, though that's a different issue.</i>

And when Mrs Average Joe Housewife tells her hubby to take out the trash, he knows she doesn't mean the kids (and herself).

Her mom talks libertarian but her family lives like upper middle class liberals, what gives?

They have a nuclear power plant, electricity is subsidized and artificially low. If they did not have that and had not diverted the entire Colorado river into Phoenix to fill their swimming pools that no one uses, the whole place would be uninhabitable. Living in Phoenix takes more resources than living in the coldest parts of the country - Duluth, but don't worry, the Federal government subsidizes almost everything. It is a truly a Libertarian paradise.

The weed is the worst in the West, Utah has better grass. It is almost all Mexican brickweed.

Um, if you have kids plan on buying a house, it is a helluva lot cheaper than helping them pay rent. If they manage it correctly with room mates, they should be able to actually make money.

It is 25 miles from ASU, I hope she can pay for cab fare because the deputies out there will arrest her for DUI, a lot of them are Native American cops out there, they don't care who she is or says she is.

Just add a broken tricycle & runover toys out front, some kitschy Jesus thingie on the front door, and a bunch of dead potted plants around the small porch and it's got that homey look.

Add a gas BBQ (but no gas) and a rusty swing set out back and it's perfect. For a person that will stay indoors all the time Googling herself, watching Lifetime, and eating Oreos all day.
