Do We Have a Dill? Palin Nature Show Coming to Discovery Channel?

A nature show. Really. Will there be a recipe clip at the end? Sources say Discovery Communications has edged out rival A&E Networks in the bidding for the project, titled “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” An agreement could be announced in the next few days. The high definition show will be shot in a similar manner to [...]

Alaska’s Million Dollar Baby

Well boys and girls, it looks like we’ve got ourselves a bidding war. A&E and The Discovery Channel are both after the former almost-one-term governor, turned failed VP candidate, turned reality TV star wannabe.  Pick me! Pick me! Sarah Palin is following a trajectory more Kardashian than Politician, demanding a big paycheck in her quest [...]

Weekend Round Up

  Palm Pilot to Nowhere Palin’s still on the palm thing.  At a speech in Orlando, she referenced yet again the infamous palm writing incident where she had to write the words “Energy, Tax Cuts, and Lift America’s Spirits” on her hand so she’d remember the three things she’d do if she were President of the [...]

The ‘Not So Secret’ Life of Bristol Palin

Kids are off limits!  Remember? So, Bristol Palin, one of those Palin children we were all admonished never to talk about because the former VP candidate’s family life was nobody’s damn business, is now going to star in a TV show.  Yes, an actual episode that the whole country can see by simply pressing a [...]

Open Thread – Two Plies of Palin

What is there to say? Here’s a gift for the person who has everything. Because I’d feel pretty safe in betting they don’t have THIS – a gen-u-wine roll of embroidered Sarah Palin toilet paper. You betcha. “Embroidered Toilet Paper, first sheet is machine embroidered So if you really wanted to, you could place it [...]

No Teleprompter Needed! Palin Writes Talking Points on Hand. (PHOTOS)

I thought it was kind of funny when Sarah Palin, in her speech to the Tea Party Convention tonight, criticized President Obama (who just did an hour and a half unscripted back-and-forth with Republican leadership) for using a teleprompter, while reading from her own notes. Apparently paper, the low-tech version of the teleprompter, means you’re [...]

Alaska Legislators Help the Needy – Big Oil.

  It’s Christmas morning! (Yes, I know it’s January, but this is my story and you’ll have to humor me) It’s Christmas morning!  It’s snowing outside, just like it should be on Christmas morning.  Our boots make a nice little crunch, crunch, crunch when we walk, big puffy flakes get stuck in our lashes and we [...]

Voices from the Flats – President Foam Finger

The Supreme Court Gives You: President Foam Finger By Ken Morris Remember me? I’m the guy who, last September, lost out in his attempt tobuy Sarah Louise Palin on EBay. Not the retiring type, I then issued a $200,000 personal challengeto the “I’m quittin’ for the good of Alaska” ex-gov to attend a second dinner [...]

Alaska Bloggers Fall From Grace! The Shocking Video Alaska Bloggers Don’t Want You to See!

We’ve got a super special treat today on that painful Monday back from a holiday weekend. I hope you love it like I do. But a warning. A serious warning. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT attempt to drink anything during the video. If you must, pause the thing first. As a matter of face, [...]

Banned in Wasilla!? Palin Hides from Bloggers.

Wow.  Take a few days off from politics and what happens?  You miss all the fun. A couple fellow new media types, Gryphen from the Immoral Minority and videographer Dennis Zaki headed north to get some video of Sarah Palin’s “public” book signing at the Curtis Menard Memorial Sports Complex in Wasilla.  You will recall [...]

Holding Mayor Dan Sullivan Accountable – Chapter Two, The Epic FAIL.

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Chris Jenkins for a long time. He was one of those kids that you talked to and thought to yourself, “That kid has a busy busy brain. I’ll be interested to see where he ends up…” Now he’s in high school, and his busy brain seems to be turned [...]

Palin Ethics Complaint – The Next Generation

Today, a brand new ethics complaint was filed against Sarah Palin. No, you’re not reading an old post by mistake. This is a new generation of ethics complaint. Ethics 2.0, if you will. It has been filed based on information revealed when ethics watchdog Andrée McLeod reviewed emails she obtained in response to a public [...]

Twin Tidbits from Palin Book Authors.

Palin Throws Bus Under the Bus In a display of almost poetic metaphorical beauty, Sarah Palin has now thrown the bus…under the bus.  That’s right, she’s now given up (at least in part) the Rogue on Wheels; the bus of the people; the Palin Express, in favor of winging around the country on a $4000/hr. [...]

Canada Punks Palin. Again!

Last time it was two DJs from Montreal who cooked up a prank that had Sarah Palin VP candidate on the phone with someone she thought was French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Not so, much to the amusement of many. This time it’s comedian Mary Walsh in her character ‘Marg Delahunty’ that got the last laugh.  She [...]
