This is a very nice presentation by Sarah Palin. Incidentally, the 2010 Iditarod starts today.

Never really paid attention to dog racing (for some reason, its not very popular in Tennessee), but I did learn this the other day...

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race takes place each year in March. The race runs 1,049 miles from Anchorage and Nome, Alaska. Begun in 1973, the race commemorates a successful emergency mission to get diptheria vaccine to Nome in 1925 during an epidemic. The drama of racing through the frozen Arctic landscape over many days has captured the imagination of people around the world.
