Opinion: Super Sarah Palin facts that everyone should know. Or else.

Longtime loyal Ticket readers will recall our examination of an amusing website last October, Chuck Norris Facts. That was back when Chuckie was campaigning for the Rev. Mike Huckabee.

The site, kind of a humorous Wikipedia about the legendarily bearded actor, collects all kinds of ‘facts’ from readers, most of them fictitious, absurd, outlandish and/or outrageously bizarre to show how tough the martial arts artist is -- or was before he started working out with Christie Brinkley on those gym equipment infomercials that keep him up so late -- and rich.

An example: Chuck Norris is so tough Apple pays him 99 cents every time he listens to a song. Or, Chuck Norris can eat just one Lay’s potato chip. Or, Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.

Well, it only took about 10 days. But now we have an entertaining Sarah Palin website collecting outlandish ‘facts’ about her.

The 44-year-old Republican governor of Alaska and mother of five just exploded onto the nation’s political scene first with Sen. John McCain’s announcement that he had picked the reformer as his Republican vice presidential running mate. (See video below.)

And then last Wednesday she blew away a Republican National Convention crowd in St. Paul and many in the nationwide TV audience of 37 million with a memorable, energizing acceptance speech to become the first female running mate on a GOP presidential ticket in the party’s 164-year history.

The LATimes.com website has noted that upswept hairdos are suddenly in, as is Palin’s style of eyeglasses.

As The Ticket noted yesterday, now the self-described hockey mom who hunts and helps on her family’s commercial fishing boat has become a veritable Palinomenon.

Thanks to dozens of enthusiastic online submissions, we have a Sarah Palin Facts site* collecting all kinds of absurd stories about her. (By the way, Sarah Palin caught that fish in the photo above with her bare hands.)
