There will be remuneration

It's nice to know that Treason In Defense of Snowmobiling Todd has been available to to provide the inside moose poop to his employers:

Todd Palin claims Yupik Eskimo blood through his grandmother. When he took a job on the North Slope, working Arctic Circle oil pads for British Petroleum, the family's life assumed a rhythm familiar in Alaska: a week or two at home, a week or two on "the Slope."

[...]

And long before Todd Palin followed his wife to Juneau, he was a fixture in her career. Guests summoned to the governor's office often find Todd Palin sitting in on the meeting.

Tom Whitstine, a fellow Wasilla-based oil worker and friend, recalled raising concerns to Todd Palin about legislation that would impact the oil industry.

"I talked to Todd sitting on the couch in his house there on Safari Lake, in April 2007," said Whitstine, who expresses disappointment with Palin's performance.

"It's a known fact Todd was right there when those kind of policy decisions were being made." Said a Bristol Bay politician who asked not to be named: "He's someone you could call and get the lowdown."

Congratulations to the oil companies as they anticipate their ninth consecutive year of owning their very own personal vice president. I'm sure they'll be very happy together.

Look, they're smiling already.

Mmmmmm. Windfall profits...
