Always check things out before posting crazy stories (and responding to them):
Quote: | An article saying that ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is wondering if missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 “flew directly to heaven” is fake, but at least one news company and thousands of people believed it.
The article was published on the Daily Currant, a known satire website.
“The Daily Currant is an English language online satirical newspaper that covers global politics, business, technology, entertainment, science, health and media. It is accessible from over 190 countries worldwide – now including South Sudan,” reads a disclaimer for the website. “Our mission is to ridicule the timid ignorance which obstructs our progress, and promote intelligence – which presses forward.”
It adds: “Our stories are purely fictional. However they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to real events happening in the world.” |

I hate it when they do that.
But she should be selling lip gloss. |

Well, some people actually believe Palin said, "I can see Russia from my house". (It was Tina Fey, not Palin.) |

Palin always said she liked a Big Gulp.

Mikey, congratulations. This is probably the first time you've actually stuck to the facts.

What made that so funny - it was the answer to a question about her foreign policy experience.
Since Russia was visible from a remote Alaska island that proved her expertise. |
