Seems to make some perfectly valid points without getting into the childish, misogynistic name-calling beloved of the likes of Guido's gang over here. And Palin's lack of experience IS laughable.

Literally all expenditure over $1000 (minus some deemed confidential by the State's lawyers) - downloadable as pdf or as a spreadsheet. Very very neat open government - and great for anyone who's interested in government contracts.. http://fin.admin.state.ak.us/dof/checkbook_online/index.jsp (not that this makes me like Palin - clearly she's as dangerous as any Republican - but it's a good example of what American govs are doing online) You’re right about the nasty article on Palin; but thanks to that I found something that Alaska (and other States) are doing – the online State checkbook.
