Poor Sports, Bad Grammar


By Zamboni

Looking for a fun, cathartic way to decompress when there's just too much celebrating going on and you've overdone the eggnog? Throw some snowballs at Sarah Palin!

That's the fun holiday game over at the website of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Just one hint: You have to ascend to the fourth level for the opportunity to sock Sarah with snow. But it's not too difficult to get there.

The other amusing thing about PETA's game is that it apparently has raised some ire up in Alaska. Politico reports that someone phoned PETA claiming to be from the Governor's office and threatening to sue if the game weren't removed. After which followed a mighty testy e-mail exchange between Bill McAllister, Governor Palin's communications director, and PETA President Ingrid Newkirk.

Now that cooler heads have prevailed, however, McAllister has denied any concern. He told Politico, "I could care less about the game."

If you'd like to write Mr. McAllister and tell him the correct expression is "I couldn't care less about the game," send an e-mail to bill.mcallister@alaska.gov.
