My Radio Chat about Sarah Palin
None of you heard it, but I was on the radio in Palm Springs (THE HOT TALK IS ON…. NEWSTALK 920, KPSI-AM) talking about the ceaseless prattling of Sarah Palin with the gracious Stan Layne. I really enjoyed my 7 minutes and was well prepared to talk about (not) my gal Sarah Palin. [...]
Hey Pat Buchanan, Sarah Palin IS McCain’s Biggest Albatross
I know Rachel Maddow is dying to watch Pat Buchanan’s head explode as he finally has to admit that Sarah Palin was a bad choice for a running mate. That’s right, the Wall Street Journal/NBC poll found that more than half of the respondents found “harbor doubts” about Palin’s readiness:
The poll also found that [...]

Sarah Palin Becomes Planned Parenthood’s Biggest Supporter
Never underestimate the power of women who feel they are targets of campaign condescension. I received an email urging me to donate to Planned Parenthood in Sarah Palin’s name three times over the last two weeks, and that my friends, means it went viral. But just how viral? Almost $1 million dollars worth [...]
No Pleasure but Meanness: Poor Sarah Palin
Like Judith Warner, I’m becoming uncomfortable with some of the discussion surrounding Sarah Palin. I’ve pointed out my share of her shortcomings, but people are getting downright cruel and finding delight in doing so:
Frankly, I’ve come to think, post-Kissinger, post-Katie-Couric, that Palin’s nomination isn’t just an insult to the women (and men) of America. [...]

Why McCain Is Hiding And Why Sarah Palin Is Not My Gal
This is going to be the last post I wrote about Sarah Palin until she makes more news herself. The McCain Campaign is successfully using Paling to distract voters from the real issues McCain does not want to talk about–the Iraq War/Occupation, the economy, his energy policy (besides drill, drill, drill), his foreign policy, [...]
Judy Blume: Another Hockey Mom on Sarah Palin
Okay, I know most of the women out there my age read Judy Blume’s “Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret,” and hopefully “Forever” (because that one had real sex in it!). Blume truly influenced a generation of young girls with those books. But what I remember most about “Margaret” was the character [...]
