3. Sure, sure

Every little bit helps in getting this out there and buzzing and rec'ing on Yahoo! helps. It only takes a bit over 100 BUZZS to get it to the top of the Buzz list, so, DU could really use that. A bit over 100 is cake for the likes of DU.

2. The AP article could have been better.

They included this much of a Sarah Palin quote, "It's clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island."

They left out the first half of the quote:

"Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it�s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island."

The opening words indicate that she supported the project. "Despite the work" is a positive way to describe Congress members trying to get an earmark.

4. Of course it could have been better

BUT, it gets out the message regardless. The more it's questioned the more it will stick with people. Eventually it will equal LIAR.

5. What does it mean to "BUZZ" an AP article?

7. It has to be an AP article on Yahoo! News

Yahoo! has the Buzz button. It's a Yahoo! feature that people can either vote a story up or down on the hottest stories on Yahoo! the link I provided was on Yahoo! News. All you have to do is go down to the end of the article where the print, email options are and there should be a button that says Buzz! Click on that to "Buzz" the article.

10. Palin's aide was just on CNN 100% completely denying she was EVER for

the bridge. This was not more than 5 minutes ago.
