Alaska Governor Sarah Palin bade a lively farewell to state politics in Fairbanks on Sunday,delivering a speech that marked a new phase in her public career,as well as the completion of an old one.Speaking to thousands,including tourists and supporters from other states,in a sun-drenched Pioneer Park,at the third in a series of governor's picnics around the state,Governor Palin minced no words when addressing the media.How about,in honor of the American soldier,you stop making things up?she asked the press corps.The fact that Americans volunteer for the military shows our best days aren't behind us,she observed.As for outside special interest groups,they just don't get it on hunting and second amendment rights.Hollywood needs to know we eat;therefore we hunt.
Turning to one of her favorite talking points,the governor said that,after decades of just talk,we're seeing oil and gas drilling at Point Thompson.And now we are on the road to the largest public/private energy project in the history of America,the natural gas pipeline to the lower 48 states.The pressing issue of our times is energy independence.You can be both pro-energy development and pro-environment,Sarah Palin insisted.
