ALLEGATION
TRUTH
State Trooper Allegation  
Sarah Palin used her influence to get the head of the Alaska State Troopers fired for refusing to fire her brother in law, who was in a nasty divorce with her sister.
Unknown.  Currently under investigation.  The investigation resulted from complaints from a political rival of Palin, Andrew Halco.  No evidence has publicly come to light proving this allegation.  Source 
Independence Party  
Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence party, a party that wants to secede from the US. False.  Her husband was briefly a member.  Source
Buchanan 2000  
Sarah Palin supported Pat Buchanan in the 2000 election when he was widely considered a candidate of the far right. False.  She wore a Buchanan button at a rally in Wasilla, AK in 1999 but wrote to the AP explaining that she only wore it to welcome a candidate, not in support of him.  Sarah Palin actually traveled to Fairbanks, AK shortly after that for a Steve Forbes rally, whom she says she supported in that election.  Source 
Marijuana  
Sarah Palin smoked marijuana in the past. True.  She has admitted smoking marijuana.  Source

Texas town settles council election with coin flip
(Reuters) - In the small Texas town of Wolfforth, it's "Heads I win." A city council election there came down to a coin toss on Friday.
