On day two of Greta Van Susteren‘s Great Alaska Adventure, she and Sarah Palin visited Valdez and ANWR during the day and talked about it live On The Record.

While it wasn’t exactly “drill baby drill,” Palin revealed what she believes would truly be a stimulus program for America.

“In light of President Obama’s moratorium and ban on off-shore drilling, especially, they need to ask, ‘well then how will we remain a prosperous, independent, safe nation, if we don’t have our own energy sources?’” said Palin.

When Greta brought up the dangers of drilling, like with what we’ve seen in the BP oil disaster, Palin noted the safety and environmental precautions taken in ANWR.

But really, in Palin’s mind, the drilling is an economic issue:

It has to be part of today’s debate, too. When we talk about the White House coming through with their nearly trillion dollar stimulus package, and yet we see this jobless recovery, unemployment rates are still so high, we have to ask what is a real stimulus program for America? A stimulus program that doesn’t cost anything, but with a stroke of a pen, political will, allowing more resource development on domestic lands in Alaska and elsewhere across the US, that’s true stimulus for our economy.

Greta says on her blog that she’s “headed east” for the final leg of her three days of shows live from Alaska.

Here’s the segment:

For most people there isn’t a middle ground with Palin.

Step 1 of the American stimulus program: Get rid of Democratic control of the House and Senate in 2010.
Step 2: Get rid of Obama in 2012.

Why you little warmonger! Of course you may have a point. A nuclear radical Iran,intent on destroying freedom by imposing Islam and sharia law. A North Korea that recently murdered 53 South Korean sailors by sinking a South Korean vessel. Hmmmm. OK, I’m in!

Would you consider amendding that by adding:

“whilst lowering taxes on the wealthiest 1% of Americans and making war expenditures non-budget items.”?

Democrat stimulus plan, Step 1: Cut Food Stamps by 12 Billion dollars to pay for their cronies in the NEA teachers union:

President Obama signed the $26 billion dollar bailout package for teachers unions that will be paid for mostly by cuts in the food stamp program and the Department of Energy’s renewable energy loan guarantee program…

But the group that took the biggest hit were those people on the governments food stamp program which has grown astronomically over the past year as high unemployment continues to grip the country. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamp program had their funding reduced by $12 billion dollars to help pay to prop up the teachers unions.

Among Sarah’s core advisers are the neo-cons, and of course, they wish to bomb Iran and North Korea. So, since Cheney’s health would prevent him from running, Sarah is the next best thing. But seriously, Pakistan, which already has nuclear weapons and which is under attack from the Taliban, is much more of an actual threat, now, than either of those two. Shouldn’t we pre-emptively bomb Pakistan, too?

Wont Glynnis be upset that she didnt get to write this Palin article?

“Shouldn’t we pre-emptively bomb Pakistan, too?”

Valkyrie, you know I love you. But if you get all geopolitical on my ass, it’s gonna ruin our relationship.

No Valkyrie, we should not “preemptively bomb Pakistan”. Remember, the Pakistani government, with the exception of certain members of the ISI, are allies of ours against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. All those Predator drone strikes you hear about in Pakistan have the tacit approval of the Pakistani government. So instead of attacking the Pakistani government, our goal is to support it against radical elements in Pakistan that seek to destroy it. These radicals are led by the Tehrik-i-Taliban, the main Taliban group in Pakistan.

Don’t you people get how irrelavent Palin is? (This is, what, the 100th Palin article this week?) Irrelavent like pizza on Friday night is irrelavent.

All kidding aside, we share the same view regarding Pakistan.

Palin talks as fast as she can, almost gives you a headache, so she doesn’t forget what they told her memorize!! I’m glad to see Emilys List standing up to this woman that wants to take women back 50 years!! She is definitely loosing steam, lost another one of the people that she supported, going on a losing streak now!!

Pizza and Palin both have the identical effect on me, but I know when I am going to eat pizza and can take a Bean-o. The drop Out Governor sometimes sneaks up on me.
