Seriously, Sarah Palin's Alaska

When I first heard the title for TLC's show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," I wondered who the genius was that came up with the Title. After all, Sarah Palin doesn't own Alaska. Sarah is not Alaska's President, Governor, Queen etc... But, the more I thought of the title, the more it made me laugh. I think many of us could agree that Sarah probably fantasizes about being Alaska's Queen. Sure, The Palin Royal Family. I'm sure the Beverly Hillbillies thought they were Royalty too.

Of course we are finding out there is nothing Sarah Barracuda is not capable of doing right? Oh silly me, I forgot about this neat little trick they do with so called Reality TV shows called editing. I know, I know you are all saying, come on... Sarah is the real deal; no need to edit, I agree in part to that one! Why edit what comes out of Sarah's mouth, that within itself is priceless. On one show Sarah said: "I love this state like I love my family." - Sarah Palin, on Alaska. Golly gee Sarah, I had no idea that people compared love of family to the love of their State, I guess it just never crossed my mind before. I'd prefer to compare the love of my family to hmm lets say, the love I feel for oh never mind Sarah- I don't think you would understand.

I find the "Sarah Gaffes" hystercial: "Dad, does this gun kick?" Everyone knows that a seasoned hunter would ask a smart question like that. "Dad, should I shoot him now?" Of course another smart question a seasoned hunter would ask. Palin takes Kate Goslyn to a building so they can learn about bear population, along with safety while camping in such a remote area. Goslyn is wearing what I would consider normal out door casual clothing while Sarah is dressed up with what appears to be a very expensive neck scarf and coat, seems perfectly normal to me dressing like Sarah did; if I were in Sarah Palins 'world'. Of course Sarah has done everything from catching to clubbing halibut, killing a caribou (sorry, it wasn't fake like Barbie's), white water rafting, camping in the deep dark wilderness- wait did anyone stop for a moment to recall that while they were in the wilderness with Kate Goslyn and kids TLC's entire crew happened to be there, as well as Mr. dude; excuse me, I meant Todd. Did anyone find it odd that when Kate Goslyn decided to leave with her kids ASAP a helicopter was ready and waiting at just the right moment? Sounds like a very scary wilderness trip to me, I was drenched in sweat waiting for one big Mamma Grizzly rearing it's big head towards the woman who calls herself Mamma Grizzly, I wonder who's roar would have been louder? And, I can only assume big Mamma Grizzly would not have been the one wetting herself.

Another funny Palin moment: Sarah was driving Piper off somewhere for the day for some quality time. Piper had to remind Queen Palin that she wasn't on the right side of the road, oops, and that she was driving too fast, oops again. They both arrived at some restaurant, and were waiting on tables. Momma Palin seemed a bit ditzy, but Piper actually had it together. She told one of the customers that her mom couldn't make a living as a waitress, because she wasn't good at it (paraphrasing).

The show is comedy, and I wouldn't say the comedy is too amusing; quite boring actually.

As the title of the show kept running through my mind, all I could think of was this- what if one of my neighbors had the 'so called notoriety Sarah has in Alaska? What if Sarah Smith (obviously, made up name).. but lets play pretend; lived a few doors down from me in Pennsylvania, and a show was called "Sarah Smith's Pennsylvania?" I concluded I would either gag, laugh or think wow; the audacity of this woman, because my neighbor Sarah Smith is actually a dumb wit and now she's claiming Pennsylvania is hers, seriously??
