       Palin was voted in, she was selected by McCain in an effort to split the women vote.

           I’m pretty sure that McCain doesn’t have the power to decide who governs Alaska.

     I resent Sarah Palin too. Stupid wolf killer. And Obama was elected, and the wolves are STILL being killed. Amber’s right. We just can’t win, America.

       Despite all appearances, Obama isn’t Jesus Christ. No president is. Sadly, Sarah Palin can still kill wolves. (does she really?) Wish someone would mistake her for one.

       Wolf populations are getting out of control in some parts of the country (including some areas of Alaska). There have been recent (as in 2010) reports of people being attacked and killed by wolves.
       Timber wolves in the lower 48 have become so overpopulated that the “environmentalists” are talking about surgically sterilizing adult wolves and releasing them back to the wild or even GASSING WOLF CUBS IN THEIR DENS!

       Hunters are the good guys here…we understand conservationism. If the population needs to be brought down, put somebody like Ted Nugent or Sarah Palin in charge of it.

         Actually? There has never been a confirmed wolf attack where the wolf wasn’t sick or provoked beforehand. If you do some research, you’ll find that if the circumstances of the attack are known, the wolf was either sick or provoked (i.e. the wolf that was chased away from a haystack and attacked the people chasing it, killing one in the process, the kid who tried to climb into the wolf pen at the zoo and was fatally bitten, to name a few). Also, statistically speaking, wolf attacks are exceedingly rare, especially when compared to other animal attacks. Wolves are one of the least dangerous to humans, statistically, of predatory animals.

         And as to hunters being the good guys? Hunters caused the problem in the first place by killing their natural prey, forcing wolves to turn to other forms of prey (i.e. farm animals) making humans react aggressively towards them, which in turn causes the wolves to retaliate out of necessity. Seriously, I really hate people perpetuating false stereotypes. Just do a little bit of research and learn the full facts. Wolves are only monsters when humans turn them into ones.

           I’d like to add to this beautiful argument one simple point:

           Nature can take care of its own population crises. Well, except for human overpopulation.

           This coming from the person perpetrating the negative stereotype of hunters?

           Hunters were the original environmentalists, a big reason for why we still have nature in the percentage we do was because hunters created the Fish and Wildlife thing.

         There’s actually a Cracked article that mentions how animals that aren’t hunted anymore are now turning much more dangerous.

     Well, actually, they’re not human Alaskan, they’re Alaskan wolf population, mutated due to the oil pipeline to be able to type. So, you have to deal with the pack mentality.

   Heh, love how people get all twisted up over the ‘poor old wolves’. Doesn’t matter that they’re killing livestock. <_< meh, guess living on a farm gives me a bit different priorities than city folk whose closest animal connections is the Zoo and Disney films.

     of course if the farm wasn’t in the middle of their territory they wouldn’t hunt the livestock…foxes do the same thing in some cities where I live, because their territory has been taken over.
     Not saying you don’t have the right to protect your livelihood, but spare a thought for the poor wolves who are doing what they can to get by, just like you.

   In all fairness just being the first female president wouldn’t make her the hottest president ever. Teddy Roosevelt is pretty smexy.

     Only PRETTY smexy?

     Actually, reminds me of that one Subnormality strip, one of the “unpopular Halloween costumes” ones… Sexy Teddy Roosevelt.

     The mouseover gag was that “Just kidding, he’s already sexy”.

     …is it bad I kind of want to go as Sexy Teddy Roosevelt for Halloween this year?

   Okay, I sick of this comparison.

   Despite having maybe as much resemblance as cousins, Tina Fey is WAAAY hotter than Sarah Palin. She’s also smart funny and talented.

   No frigging contest.

      Sometimes the way is through mass extinctions. Humans are not do exceptional in that regard — only that we are the ones leveraging geologic forces, resulting in geologic-magnitude extinctions.

    Ugh, Palin is disgusting. Was so pissed she got elected here then was ecstatic when she stepped down. Utter lack of any form of brains at all. And the wolf population thing is also bullshit. No non-provoked attacks up here in decades and Alaska has no livestock that isn’t a natural prey animal of the wolf anyway, it’s too cold up here for anything except for moose and reindeer to survive the winter. It’s the reason our food is so damn expensive, we have to import pretty much everything except for fish.

    We do have amazing salmon though, and I love the reindeer, almost as much as venison.
