Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Our Potential Second-in-Line for the Presidency
I think everyone and their mother has seen this video clip by now, but just in case: She should have just said, “And I can see Russia from my house!” and kept it at that. Sweet and simple.

I wrote about this a while back, but Ezra has more details, so I’ll just quote him: Like Atrios, I’d stayed away from the rape kits story because some of the details seemed shaky and it was explosive enough to ignore until it firmed up. Now it has. Eight years ago, the Alaskan Legislature had [...]

Op-Edna finds that during Sarah Palin’s two terms as mayor, the town of Wasilla charged victims of sexual assault the cost of their rape kits: ANCHORAGE – Gov. Tony Knowles recently signed legislation protecting victims of sexual assault from being billed for tests to collect evidence of the crime, but one local police chief said [...]

As sympathetic as I am to AlterNet’s intentions, and as much as I agree with a good deal of the content in the recent article, “Sarah Palin’s 9 Most Disturbing Beliefs,” I’m afraid that I have to call foul on one of their choices: In June, Palin gave a speech at the Wasilla Assembly of [...]

The other day, Jill wrote a post about how Sarah Palin’s church insults the Jewish religion and supports those who actively work to convert Jewish people to Christianity. Well apparently they also support those who actively work to “convert” gay people to heterosexuality. Gov. Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert [...]

Hello, out-there and bigoted religious views at Sarah Palin’s church: …Palin’s church, the Wasilla Bible Church, gave its pulpit over to a figure viewed with deep hostility by many Jewish organizations: David Brickner, the executive director of Jews for Jesus. Palin’s pastor, Larry Kroon, introduced Brickner on Aug. 17, according to a transcript of the [...]

It sure is interesting to see conservatives adopt the banner of feminism now that Sarah Palin is on the ticket. I can’t help but shake my head every time I hear or read one of them say, “Had she been a man…” — simply because conservatives have spent the past century or so totally dismissing [...]
