• ... it may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: "Sit down and shut up", but that's the worthless, easy path; that's a quitter's way out. And a problem in our country today is apathy. It would be apathetic to just hunker down and “go with the flow”. Nah, only dead fish "go with the flow".

So only quitters don't quit, huh?

• Some Alaskans don’t mind wasting public dollars and state time. I do. I cannot stand here as your Governor and allow millions upon millions of our dollars go to waste just so I can hold the title of Governor.

Which begs the question: why did she take the post in the first place? She's arguing that she's competely ineffective as governor, "allowing millions upon millions of our dollars to go to waste". Not exactly a high self-commendation.

I look forward to her pronouncements on algebra (2+2=5; only pointy egg-head liberals could disagree!), God (He talks to her, just like He did to Bush and Blair) and Michael Jackson.
