The LA Times finally finds a voice from Wasilla they can trust

The Los Angeles Times has found proof that Sarah Palin was a horrible choice for vice president.  Why?  Because a Wasilla-based indie rock band says so, that's why! (links in the original, emphasis mine):

Wasilla, Alaska, isn't exactly an indie-rock mecca, but one band of note does hail from the area -- the loud and dreamy rock combo with the odd name Portugal. the Man. Singer-guitarist John Baldwin Gourley and bassist Zachary Scott Carothers grew up and started playing music together near the isolated town and still spend considerable time there.

Sarah Palin is so hot that the band often goes shirtless, even in winter.
Gourley's blog post is mostly philosophical. Under the heading "Sarah Palin, Because We Don't Need It," he writes of the first time his father took him hunting for moose, when he was about 6. The pair quickly spotted their quarry, but his father pulled back. They didn't kill the moose "because we don't need it," he explained to his son.

" 'Because we don't need it' was something that has been taught to me every day of my life through these amazing people," Gourley writes of his parents, who were Iditarod dog-sled mushers and continue to live an Alaskan life. "And to watch Sarah Palin get so much attention based on what? Two years as governor of the state of Alaska? Or is it based on her time as the mayor of Wasilla? The town of 5,000 at the time."

Wow, a philosophical MySpace blog.  I dated someone who had one of those once.  Let's just say it was hard to pretend that anything there was thought-provoking.

My guess is this brain trust's blog isn't much different.
