Variety magazine reports that Mr Johnston’s [...]
Image by smiteme via Flickr Well, the drama seems to be over, so I’m now trying to get back in the habit of daily blogging. But it’s been hard given that this is Sarah Palin week. Sadly, I haven’t been immune. Some of the highlights on the web have been Andrew Sullivan’s obsession with Palin [...]
Image by smiteme via Flickr Funny: Less than three months after resigning as governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, the onetime vice presidential candidate, has completed her memoir. HarperCollins Publishers, which signed a multi-million dollar deal with Ms. Palin in May, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had moved up the publication date from [...]

This feature will highlight the most absurd justifications for Palin being on the GOP ticket. GB suggested that I post this defense of Palin’s national security credentials from Cindy McCain: And, also, remember, [...]
Wasilla Town Hall, where your future Vice President reigned as Mayor. It seems like it’s now all-Sarah all-the-time in the media world, so let me try to get to what I think are the most significant Palin updates. Item #1: As Mayor, Sarah Sought to Ban Books Voters Didn’t Like “She asked the library how [...]
Sarah Palin shows off her unfortunately decorated Anchorage office. I’m not really sure that I “get” this one. Upon hearing McCain’s VP choice, my initial response was to laugh out loud.
