Palin Thanks (almost) Everyone for Bin Laden’s Capture.
I listened with the rest of the nation last night as the news leaked about the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of U.S. forces on the ground in Pakistan. And I listened to the President deliver (as usual) a thoughtful, respectful, address to the nation. And then, I wondered, what would critics [...]
America By Heart – Chapter 6, Are We Really the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For?
You thought I forgot, didn’t you… No, I just needed to take a little mental break before I picked up that book again. But thanks to determination, and a darn good work ethic instilled in me by my parents, I’m here to march forward. There are nine chapters, and we’re ready to tackle number 6. [...]
Voices from the Flats – Sarah Palin Slams Michelle Obama
Sarah Palin Slams Michelle Obama in Racially Charged Passage from New Book by Geoffrey Dunn In passages leaked from her forthcoming book America by Heart, Sarah Palin — the erstwhile quitter governor of Alaska, who now, by all indications, fancies herself as President of the United States — has taken another cheap shot at First [...]
Palin’s Phoney, “Call Me!” Offer
Sarah has a new blog entry. You’ll need a pair of chest waders and a barf bag to get through it.

You remember Sarah Palin, right? She’s the one that the [...]
Get Your Rant On.
Sometimes the only thing better than having a good rant, is sitting back and eating a snack food while listening to someone else do it. Then you can just sit back and interject, “Uh huh’s” and “You go’s” and “Tell it to me, sister’s.” The first thing that happened was that Sarah Palin ranted on [...]
A Year of Sarah Palin. What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been.
[This article is cross-posted at The Huffington Post] What a difference a year makes. A year ago today, after being stunned by McCain’s VP pick, I had finished writing a piece called “What Is McCain Thinking? One Alaskan’s Perspective.” It’s hard to imagine a time when the country was asking “Sarah Who?” but it was [...]
Hello, Iowa? I have Governor Palin on Line One…
I got a few interesting emails yesterday I’d like to share. First, in the morning I had one from a Mudflatter in New Hampshire. Then another one. And another. Then last night I got an email from…..Iowa. All three said just about the same thing: Hi, AKM! I wanted to let you know that I just [...]
Palin Apologizes. And She Doesn’t.
Never one to pass up the opportunity for national media attention, Sarah Palin called in to smitten Greta Van Susteren of Fox News, to talk about the arson committed at the Wasilla church she attends. “I’ll leave it to the pastor to speak to,” Palin says in the FOX interview. “I apologized to the assistant pastor letting him [...]
