Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is scheduled to accept the GOP vice presidential nomination tonight in St. Paul, Minn.
Grist readers know that the governor sports a colorful record on environmental issues. So, for all you greens who plan to watch the big speech tonight, here's a way to keep score (and numb the pain):
Listen closely to Gov. Palin's speech. If she mentions any of the following, drink the corresponding number of gulps of your favorite beverage.
1 Gulp:
- There are more polar bears now than 50 years ago.
- Drilling in ANWR (add another gulp for mention of an immediate effect on gas prices)
- Offshore drilling (add another gulp for mention of an immediate effect on gas prices)
- Hunting
- Alaska oil pipeline increased caribou herds
- Moose stew
2 Gulps:
- Bridge to nowhere
- Windfall profits tax on oil industry
- Standing up to "Big Oil"
Chug-a-Lug:
- Mention of "God" and "oil" in same sentence.
- Expressing doubt about human contributions to global warming.
Other suggestions for the game? Chime in below.

Or would her child have to become a hockey player, before she is declared an official hockey mom?
Enquiring minds need to know. If the baby is a girl, will she still play hockey? Do they call the them "baby daddies" in Alaska? "Baby hockey daddies"?
Would it constitute "change" for the new baby to play soccer, instead of hockey? So many vital questions. Will a hockey rink be installed in the whitehouse when McBush keels over?

Ride your bike down to the local party headquarters and volunteer for Obama.
Spaceship earth is in peril. Better read Bucky's "operating manual for spaceship earth".
