Earlier today, Sarah Palin knocked herself unconscious while participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge. Sponsoredby the ALS Association, the Ice Bucket Challenge has participants film themselves pouring a bucket of water and ice over their heads. According to aides, Palin was unaware that the ice bucket was supposed to contain water and instead froze the entire bucket before dumping the large block of ice directly onto her own head. Unconscious, she was rushed to the hospital where doctors confirmed that she suffered from a mild concussion but no permanent damage. According to the attending physician, Mrs. Palin, was lucky to have a thicker than normal skull and a slightly smaller than average brain. This physical abnormality likely protected her from more severe injuries. Palins representatives are using the injury to explain away a viral video of an incoherent Palin . People assumed she was intoxicated, but that was not the case. This was the result of the accident, but Sarah is perfectly fine now and just as smart as she ever was. The video was filmed more than a week ago, but her representatives are adamant that todays injury caused the odd occurrence.

Many notable people have participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge including Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg. Interestingly, of the tens of thousands of participants, no one else has attempted to dump a large block of ice on their head. For those interested in supporting the ALS Association and taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, heres how it is supposed to work. Take a video of yourself pouring a bucket of ice AND water over your head and post it on your favorite social network. When you post, challenge three friends or colleagues to do the same within 24 hours. They can opt out of being drenched by making a small donation towards ALS research. So, grab a bucket and get soaked for a great cause and remember whenever you are uncertain about something ask yourself, What would Sarah Palin do? and then do the opposite.

I went to the sporting good store a while back and I was shopping for a scope for my rifle. We target practice, but don't hunt. The clerk brings me a scope and says, "You will be interested in this scope. This is the same scope that Sarah Palin uses."

My brain sorta had a spin and I wondered what that had to do with me buying a scope for my .22 target rifle. I told him, "I'm not a fan of Palin." He got a disgusted look on his face and he started trembling. Yup, he was shaking, red faced and glaring at me. He was shaking so hard he could barely get the scope back in it's box. He wouldn't help me after that and I left the store. I did stop off and tell the manager what had happened.

Now that Palin has her own online 'network', does that mean the rest of the media can stop reporting her dumbo remarks? Please?

Different sides of the same coin, I think.

I think the real story is that she ran headfirst into an iceberg that came from Russia. It's right outside her front door you know.Smile.gif

Did y'all know that of all the ALS contributions, only 27% goes to actual research and development of the cure, the rest goes for "Administration". Some one is lining their pockets.

Gunny, Snopes.com has already taken a look at this .

Claim: Most of the $100 million raised from ALS 'Ice Bucket Challenge' donations won't go to ALS-related research and services.

* FALSE

The claim made in the email above, that 73% of donations fund executive salaries and overhead, is demonstrably false. Charity Navigator's breakdown of the ALS Association's finances for the fiscal year ending January 2013 shows that 72.4% of the ALS Association's budget during that period was used for program is, the programs and services the ALS Association delivers to the ALS community according to its mission, such as professional and public education, research into ALS treatments and cures, and patient and commmunity services. Of the remaining budget, 11% went to administrative expenses and 16.5% to fundraising expenses. It appears that someone confused the term "program expenses" with "overhead" and mistakenly assumed the former represented money spent on bureaucracy rather than the vital ALS-related services provided by the ALS Association.

Like you said Gunny, it's always a good thing to check into any organization that gets donations but it does seem that the ALS Association is legit.
