In reply to the discussion: Sarah Palin: Obama "shielded your children" from reading “Nineteen Eight-Four” in school. [View all]Ghost in the Machine
(14,912 posts)55. I've always had this nagging little feeling about Todd Palin flying loads of meth out in his private
Piper Super Cub, as well as on those long snowmobile races, with the 700 extra miles to Fairbanks added on to it. Those commercial Salmon fishing gigs could provide another good cover to make drops for later pickups. I'm not saying any of this is true, mind you, just a theory in my head.
Have you ever just looked at someone and didn't like them for some reason? That's how I felt about Todd the first time I saw him. I thought he looked like a meth dealer, and he looked strung out a few times when the family appeared on TV.
Peace,
Ghost

Didn't Palin try and ban books in libraries at Wasilla Public Library when she was acting as Mayor?

My liberal San Francisco-living English teacher did NOT shield us from reading that book.

She didn't, actually, write the linked opinion piece. Too much work, one imagines.
