Sarah Palin in a Corn Maze
Sarah Palin is in a corn maze. This does not mean that Sarah Palin is actually in a corn maze, but that there is a corn maze made to look like Sarah Palin. You have to be looking down on the maze and not in it in order to see the likeness. And it does look like her--and also Tina Fey.
I heard about this maze on News Update on Saturday Night Live and promptly checked out the story's validitity. Yep, the maze is in Whitehouse, Ohio not too far from Toledo. Although the maze of Palin is new this year, The Corn Maze at the Butterfly House where it is located is not new.
Each year the Whitehouse Farm turns acres of corn fields into pictures. There is also an amazing intricate butterfly for wandering among the corn stalks. Corn mazes are one way farmers have upped their revenue in an unsure market. Elaborate pictures are not as common. Palin's took eight hours to make after an artist made a sketch and figured out how to mow it using a GPS system.
Check out the farm's Web site for a video of Palin's maze. You can walk through Palin's head (sort of a borrowed line from Saturday Night Live) Palin's addition certainly adds something new to the fall line up of Ohio's corn mazes.
Here is a YouTube video of a news clip of the Palin corn maze. The owner of the Butterfly House, Duke Wheeler explains how the maze was made and what other fun things his farm has planned.

This is recycled news. AOL ran this same story last week. Sarah Palin is HOT, and is more than a community organizer. McCain/Palin '08
TIM JOHNSON Oct 3rd 2008 11:41PM
SHE MAY BE HOT... but she isnt smart enough to be a gov, no less than a vp and GOD forbid a president.....she knows how to circumvent a question, she was train to change the subject...and talk about what she knows...which is being mayor of a one horse town, and gov of a state with less people than any major city...she is also afraid of witches(she went to a church service that was to protect people from witch craft, she bans books, and is a BORN AGAIN hypocrite....that abuses power

What was with that silly wink and facial expressions. I mean for a VP we don't need silly right now. What a joke!
Ohio voter here not for Palin
Jerry Oct 3rd 2008 11:52PM
You are the joke. Sarah is hot and she is smart. Based on JOEker Biden's 31 years in congress and her 5 weeks on the campaign trail, she did remarkable. Besides, Biden put out so much crap that was not true that no one except a political pundit would know the true facts. It, however, did not take long for some pundits to take issue with 15 of his outright lies and about 8 other facts that are arguable. FDR on TV in 1929??? Stand up Chuck!!!....to a man in a wheel chair. This idiot is beyond stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin does not represent all women and not all conservative women. In our area we are sick of her!
me Oct 3rd 2008 9:16PM
Just where she belongs - in a corn field. Most likely with "Joe 6 Pack".

I Love It! LOLOL

Sarah hasn't a clue what to do! She could only run this country further in the ground! Stay in alaska and govern your Elk and Bears!!
Harrison Oct 3rd 2008 11:32PM
To late she already killed all of them! =)
Rcouchman Oct 3rd 2008 9:33PM
Sarah could only run this country in the ground further than it is now! She needs to stick to govern the elk and the bears!

what a waste of corn

Sarah Palin, as governor of Alaska, encourged the shooting of wolves from low-flying planes. She also offered a $150.00 bounty for each severed left foreleg brought in. She also belives that mankind is not responsible at all for global warming.

Palin all the way. She is a breath of fresh air. I think she could run the country if she needed to. I am sure all the male chovanist oinkers would not agree. Men are just afraid that a woman can out do them. So far the men have not been all that great. Obama still has not stated too much about what he stands for, and leaves alot to be desired. I think the McCain/Palin has the countries best intrest at heart and I think they have a no bull attitude. I think she is a caring american citizen and has everyday values as much as values to be the Vice President. God Bless the USA.
