Sarah Palin
May 24, 2009
- It's a holiday weekend so there's a part of my brain that tells me I shouldn't be doing the ordinary, but rather should be kicking back all weekend while in some way honoring those who fight for our country. Will writing this blog as a form of free speech work? Here on Long Island we've gotten several days of uninterrupted sun, although right now it appears that clouds are moving in. ...

- In book publishing the publishers generally pay the author an advance against royalties—meaning, the author gets some money up front, and if the book earns back that amount plus other expenses, the author will start getting more money. Most authors get relatively small advances that aren’t enough to live on, but some celebrities and major public officials get pretty fabulous amounts. Stewie ...

- I admittedly was surprised when I heard John McCain's choice for his running mate at first. Sarah Palin? Who? I honestly had no clue who she was, and I kept expecting the CNN online story to change the name to Lieberman, Romney, or hell, even Pawlenty. But alas, the story did not change. Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and former mayor of Wasila...no Wasilla, was McCain's choice. I reserved ...

- Okay, so I keep getting email about President Obama's "Special Olympics" remark on Leno last night, so I thought I'd address it here. I don't seem to be seeing a lot of reaction to other special needs parenting writers on the subject, but I suspect that's because most of them see the big picture. So here's my take, in handy bulleted form:It wasn't a very clever remark, and it was ...

- This is bound to be controversial, but here goes: for the good of our national interests, Hillary Clinton needs a boob job.I’m not talking something that will enhance the Secretary of State’s already womanly figure. I’m talking about porn tits. Major league yabos. Ta tas ‘til Tuesday.And, yes, she needs to do this for Uncle Sam, and to be perfectly clear, I’m referring to the symbol of ...

- Sarah Palin is not a happy camper, or so she told Politico. The Alaska governor thinks that the press is giving Caroline Kennedy preferential treatment. She is interested in seeing how Kennedy "will be handled," and whether the media will use kid gloves.Moreover, the former Republican vice presidential candidate says there is what she calls a "class issue" behind the ...

- You've probably seen this today. If not, head's up! (Sorry, it's really not funny). For future reference, Sarah, don't give interviews in front of a slaughter house, at least while head-chopping is going on. http://www.youtube.com/v/z-kjM1asH-8&colorl=Oxlblbl&color2=Oxcfcfcf&fs=l Poets: this is no metaphor! There's a war against turkeys, intensifying this week. And a ...

- I hear literary agents are wooing Sarah Palin. I can also hear the tut-tuts doing the rounds with a sneer. Oh dear, she will cash in on this, they will say. Sure as hell she will, as she must. If others can capitalise on her “blonde moment” and her banality, then so can she. Forget her politics, whatever it may be if it is at all, she has indeed led an interesting life that meandered towards ...

- The charges against Sarah Palin leaked to the press by unnamed McCain staffers hardly come as a surprise. When a presidential nominee selects a running mate, the VP candidate always brings an entourage. Like any merger, staff rivalries are bound to surface, especially during the stresses of a heated campaign. And when a ticket loses, post-mortem finger pointing is inevitable. All the same, ...

- As the presidential campaign neared its final throes, vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin seized on a theme her Republicans handlers hoped would reverse their imminent defeat. Governor Palin claimed small towns were “the real America” and anointed them as the “pro-America areas of this great nation.” Other GOP candidates quickly seized the theme, publicly impugning the patriotism of ...
