Sarah Palin on Oprah – UPDATES

Okay, I broke down and watched Oprah Winfrey interview Sarah Palin. Color me underwhelmed. By both women. It was like watching two lightly muzzled Doberman Pinschers, behaving because they have to, but with an undergrowl that translates, roughly, into “if we’re ever alone together in the yard, you’re going down…” Oprah needed Palin for the [...]

Oh, nuts! Obama Speech Reax

I have not one, not two but three things I have to start writing for various deadlines, so I’m going to offer you a quick look-around from my email and a few sites and then tip the hat and ride off into the sunset for most of the day, pardners. Obama was going to bring [...]

Klavan, "Health" Panels & Goldsteins – UPDATED

I’m still in a retreat after-glow that has me only half attending to the world around me, and I am still pushing politics away in the manner of a King’s daughter being offered boiled tripe: “- ewww, away with that!” But this piece by Andrew Klavan floated across my email and by the second paragraph [...]

He was just branding the 18-year old who, after all, “did get knocked up” and should therefore be forever caricatured as a slut by a 62 year-old progressive looking for adolescent laughs! And their mother looks slutty, too! Haw-haw! They’re all sluts, haw-haw! So [...]

Lileks on Letterman on Palin – UPDATED

If you have missed it, the old rule that you don’t go after a politicians kids (which has been strongly, and correctly, in place under all Democrat presidents, and was even sometimes practiced about the Bush-twins) does not apply to Sarah Palin, and has never applied to Sarah Palin. You may get nagged at for [...]
