Sarah Palin

I left work early Friday to drive to Fairbanks, as usual I was listening to my favorite podcast from Utah and they had a little excerpt from Sarah Palin's final speech which she gave earlier this week in Fairbanks. (I have the link below from the Conan O'Brien show) But I heard this on the radio and I, like the majority of the people in the country, thought What in the world is she talking about? But then I started to realize that only the "Sourdoughs" (English Translation: People who have lived in Alaska for a number of years) could understand her speech. She was talking in "Alaskan". I have only been here for three months so I am still considers a Cheechakos (English Translation: A newcomer)! When I first heard this I laughed really hard and was so confused but When I figured out what she was saying--- it kind of made sense! (Kind of) It is still funny to listen to. I still aspire to get my picture with her someday! Sarah Palin 2012!

  3. Yeah, it's definitely a bunch of words that no one but Alaskans would understand. Even if you're Alaskan, you have to be thinking, "Hmmm...pretty weird speech." But yeah, Palin 2012. You betcha!
