“Before her meteoric rise to political success as governor, just two short years ago Sarah Palin was the mayor of Wasilla. I had a good chuckle at MSN.com’s claim that she had been the mayor of “Wasilla City”. It is not a city. Just Wasilla.

Miami-Dade Election Outcome :( →
All of the commissioners were re-elected. The voter turnout was abysmal. Most people didn’t even know there was a vote going on at all. It seems most people don’t even care. There are 1,170,135 registered voters in Miami Dade. The voter turnout was 160,492.

US aims to tame Hurricanes →
“A hurricane reduction program likely to begin in October will devote $64 million to efforts such as spreading tiny salt particles in the storms to drain them of much of their rain before they hit land.
