Funny->Online petition to rename Ohio peak for Palin emerges

Alaska Dispatch

A White House petition was filed Thursday by a person from Texas only identified by the initials “M.R.” to change the name of Campbell Hill, the tallest peak in Ohio, to “Mount Sarah Palin” in honor of Alaska’s “most famous governor,” the petition states.

“Campbell Hill is a testament to the men and woman (sic) who strived to reach its well manicured, landscaped peak, some never to return,” the petition states. “If the people of Ohio feel it is their right to name Alaska's highest mountain, then it would only be fitting for Alaska to rename Ohio's highest peak.”

Campbell Hill stands at a mere 1,550 feet, while Denali stands at 20,310 feet. The petition would need 100,000 signatures by Oct. 3 to prompt a response from the White House. At 3:25 p.m. Friday, it only had five.

I guess that would be $arah's biggest accomplishment.

The Wiki entry for Campbell Hill has been edited seventeen times in the past week, whipsawing between McKinley Hill and Campbell Hill.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campbell_Hill_%28Ohio%29&action=history

This one was clever, they only changed the name on the map:

It's only a mater of time before the Mount Palin gets worked into the edits.
