instead of keeping on EYE on others

i think we ought to be keeping BOTH eyes on sarevil and toddevil. doesn't anyone else have that gut feeling about them? something not quite right? something not exactly as it seems?

not because they expect civilization to end any day now and only people like them (yeah, i don't quite know what that means either but i DO know i'm not considered to be people like them) will be left roaming the reborn earth

'First Dude' Todd Palin Illustrates Alaska's Blend of Private and Public

By Alec MacGillis and Karl Vick

Washington Post Staff Writers
ANCHORAGE -- Todd Palin grew up as the archetypal Alaskan -- salmon fisherman, champion snowmobiler, North Slope oil worker. But since his wife became governor 20 months ago, his portfolio has broadened: househusband, babysitter, senior adviser, legislative liaison, and -- when the occasion warrants -- enforcer and protector.

He has supervised renovations to the governor's mansion and hopscotched by plane back and forth to Juneau to juggle duties as father and "First Dude," as he has come to be known. And to a degree that has surprised many state government observers, Todd Palin also has become involved in policy, sitting in on his wife's meetings, traveling on state business and weighing in on some legislative issues.

John Harris, the Republican speaker of the Alaska House, said he had never been called by the spouse of a governor before the two calls he got from Todd Palin. One was to argue for moving the state capital to Anchorage. The other was to ask Harris to "keep an eye" on a key aide who had an affair with the wife of one of Todd's best friends.

Political hands in both parties say the Palins are often referred to as a team -- "Sarah and Todd" -- and one Democratic lawmaker said Todd Palin has become her "de facto chief of staff.".........
