Is she planning on more children?
This is why I ask:
If not, that means she's had her tubes tied, she going to quit fucking her husband, he intends to wear a condom from now on,he's been clipped or she'd consider an abortion.
Which Republican policy does she prefer?
How much unsupervised time did Bristol get with Levi?

So much baggage.
I hear Bush wants to give an appearance at the convention tomorrow via sattelite. I guess he can't make it on Thursday (or even wednesday) because the storm that didn't happen was a bust.
Just pretend, Mr. Bush. Sarah does.

Drip drip drip. On another note, Andrew Sullivan is calling for the release of Governor Palin's medical records so rumors of "grandmother pretending to be mother" can be shut down once and for all. Hmmm mmmm. That'll happen. This amazes me that this is getting corporate media attention during a hurricane. Could you imagine if it were an otherwise slow news day? And remember, while the corporate media was slow on the John Edwards story intially, they jumped on it like gangbusters...and he is no longer a candidate. You reap what you sow, Repugs.

wow. I noticed that the Matsu link went back up today after the 'rabbit died' announcement.
I don't see the medical records being released. I wonder if the first scandal is true, if this baby will be long 'overdue'. And they won't induce. And they will come up with some reason why, in this one unique circumstance, they didn't induce. Orville Reddenbacker will make gold off of this.

Are you asking this for a poll because I vote YES because she is going to get away with it.
Lawyers are already in Alaska "looking into the case" These are Republican lawyers and probably some of the best in the country, do you honestly think the small investigative group in Alaska will be able to fight them?

OT - Amy Goodman was unlawfully arrested and violently manhandled in St. Paul today.
We need to make some noise about this. We may be owned by China, but we're NOT China, at least not the last time I checked.
Amy Goodman has the courage of a pride of lions in the body the size of a kitten. She was beaten with a rifle butt in East Timor and then held in a prison for 2 weeks until she recovered enough to release her and deported by the Indonesians. The next year, the East Timorese won their freedom and she went back to East Timor to celebrate although she knew the Indonesian soldiers were still there and still committing atrocities. Here in this country, she was shoved around by the office manager of the radio station who stood 9 inches taller than Amy who is 5 feet tall. The office manager who was a woman, slammed Amy into the wall several times.
Those Minneapolis-St. Paul cops should have been struck by lightening for their massive cowardice.

"Palin said she won't take maternity leave but will go with Trig to doctor's visits, physical therapy, whatever he needs. She's breast feeding and plans to bring Trig to work with her, just as she did with Piper."
And be vice-pres. wow!

well isn't that special that she is putting the child's needs first. Because lord knows, the best environment for a newborn with Down's is a busy office full of noise, stress, and germs. And she's even going to the doctor with him? When is she going to be on the cover of Parenting???
If anyone wants a chuckle from a blog not clinging to any pretense of respectability, here is the entry from D-listed covering the Palin scandal. It made me laugh out loud several times, Michael K's honesty and bluntness is refreshing (though he can be a bit crude and he uses profanity): http://www.dlisted.com/node/28034

Wait a minute. On news clip a couple of days ago: One of the daughters was carrying Trig and the other daughter was carrying a blanket and ---wasn't it a bottle? Breast feeding my ass. When does she have a chance to do it?

I may be wrong, but maternity leave is for when you have to take off to give birth and recover. I don't think it extends to breast feeding. At least when I was working and pumping. But that was long ago and thing might have changed.
this is kinda fun. thanks Sarah, you do not disappoint.

This is not change but more of the same and America has had it with John McCain and his republican fascist party... enough of this crap!
And his chosen VP's growing mess is growing by the hour and where in the world does this lead too... it ends with the nation understanding a simple truth!
John McCain is living in the past and his judgment is impaired and can not be trusted, just as his party can not be trusted!
It's time the nation elects Obama and get on with the job of serving the needs of the American people for a change!
While also ending the nations 8 year nightmare!

I just had another flash-thought as I read this post, only this time it's not an "ugly" one: John McCane DOESN'T WANT TO BE PRESIDENT!
That's why he's been sabotaging himself.
The job is too much for him and he knows it. He's not young and strong anymore. His ego is still saying 'YES', but his psyche is screaming 'NO' and is steering his car through the guardrail and over the cliff. "Look out! Look out! Look out! LOOK OUT!"

Yes, I get that feeling too.... And he's pissed at Rove.
With the Gong Show back on TV, it's no longer possible to say that TV could get worse, they could always bring back the Gong Show. With Palin on the GOP ticket, it's no longer possible to say that the GOP represents rational conservatism. I'd say, yeah, the public culture has hit bottom.

The McCain camp is saying, and CNN is repeating tonight on the air, that the lawyer was hired "three weeks ago". But the letter from the lawyer and the response from the Alaska State Senator make it pretty clear that the lawyer was hired on Friday, probably after McCain announced her as his running mate. The lawyer was quite likely hired after media reports of "Troopergate". This is yet another sign that she was not vetted at all.
First, I really don't want Palin off the ticket. I want her right there for people to vote on just as originally put together. Pulling her might create some sympathy or a redesign of the ticket may give them a reason to think the R's really have some brains, even tho they couldn't get it right the first time.
Second, kudos to John, Joe, et al, for the best work done to date on keeping the info flowing on these candidates.

Obama was on Anderson Cooper tonight, and he gave an excellent answer to the question of whether Sarah Palin has more "executive experience" than him. He said Wasilla is a town with like 50 employees, his campaign has like 2500. He said she had a budget of like 12 million in Wasilla and that his campaign deals with over 60 million a month. Then he went off on his legislative accomplishments.
Very clean, concise, and quite a good answer. That needs to be a commercial.

Seems every thread in Americablog today addresses how bad McCain's choice of Sarah Palin is. There are other very important issues that are not being discussed now as we are being deliberately distracted by Sarah Palin who will, in all likelyhood, never see the inside of the White House except as a visitor.
Far more important is, how the hell are people in our coldest states going to pay for home heating this winter. I have no idea how much it costs to heat a home in Minneapolis-St. Paul, but it is frequently below 0 degrees F for months in that city.
I tried on Ask to find a typical cost for heating a home without specifying a location. Without specifying location one website mentioned several home owners who responded saying last winter heating oil was on the order of $ a gallon and they used between 100 to 150 gallons a month. Given the cost is about $4 a gallon this year, you are talking about $400 to $600 a month, a crippling cost not just for the poor, but for even middle income families. These are probably very modest homes, of maybe 1,200 square feet and very minimum heating just to keep it above freezing and so that family members don't get pneumonia. People are wearing hats and gloves even indoors not to mention heavy coats and outerwear. People are not trying to keep their homes tropical warm and balmy so they need a minimum of clothes.

By ensuring we do not get another Republican in the Whitehouse, we are doing what we can for cleaner, cheaper energy. What would you have us do?

Hang Bush and Cheney upside down by their heels and shake out every penny they own and return that stolen money to pay for the heating of the homes of the poor and middle class in the most desperate northern states. Don't snear. Trillions of dollars are missing from the Federal budget, probably in the pockets of these crooks enough to heat the homes of the the northern states to tropical temperatures. To be honest, it isn't all in Bush's and Cheney's pockets. Try the CEOs of the petroleum companies, the war industries and the drug industries, but especially the corporations (military-industrial complex) that received all those unbid contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan that were never fulfilled and they were never penalized for failure to fill their contracts.
After we extract all the money, then turn them right side up and hang until dead.

With all due respect, and with no excuses for the comedic statements, I think that is why we are so vehement in regards to electing Barack Obama as President and Joe Biden as Vice-President with a Democratic Congress. While not perfect, it could better handle some of those energy issues that have been ignored in the past.
vkobaya

By the time Obama is inagurated, it will be January 20, and at least a month or two of freezing weather. In the poorest families, they will already have frozen to death and in middle income families, people will have contracted pneumonia without the money to see a doctor, be hospitalized or even able to feed themselves sufficiently to maintain normal body temperatures. If Obama acts within the first few days of his inaguration, maybe he will make a difference and people who will otherwise die, will live, but I am praying he is far more of an activist and reformer than he has shown so far.The rhetoric coming out of the Democratic convention was very, very liberal and reformist minded and the most reluctant speaker seemed to me to be Obama. If Congress has to drag Obama kicking and screaming along with liberal reforms, it is going to cost many, many lives. FDR had weeks or months to slowly adjust to his reluctant role as a liberal and reformer. Obama won't have that luxury.

Two months ago, I saw an article about how cities were already scrambling to find ways of protecting the poor from the coming winter in the colder states. They are looking to open shelters as well as having several families share homes to distribute the cost among more people. There is a home heating oil allowance by government (federal ?) subsidy, but it is a one time only and is only $300. Won't even pay for the heating of a home for one month this winter. As is usual, these types of assistance from the government are bad jokes intended to be viciously inadequate and to provide a lot of hilarity for the wealthy, elite, powerful and politically connected who think nothing of heating greenhouses of several thousand feet in the northern states to grow bananas and oranges during the winter.
vkobaya

Please! Let's get serious here. The issue of heating the homes of families in our northern most states is far more important than Palin since, by her nomination, she virtually guarantees that Obama will win. However, it is also guaranteed that people will freeze to death this winter or otherwise die of the cold. Anywhere from several to dozens, maybe hundreds with thousands suffering viciously and needlessly. If the liberals and Democrats talked up this issue like they are talking up the trivial issue of Palin's candidacy, Congress would have a bill passed by the end of the week. And since Republicans made compassion and issue with Gustav hitting the Gulf Coast, they will look very, very hypocritical if they try to block any measure. Waiting for Obama is too late and he is too corporate to act fast. This needs to be done before temperatures drop into freezing range and then below zero.
Shelters and home sharing by multiple families should be adequate, but care must be taken to see that the isolated, outcasts, those unable to conform to live with others or those who can't leave their own homes are also cared for. None need die if we act quickly and with the compassion that Republicans are so glad to claim. We don't need to let even one homeless person freeze to death over a steam vent.

You are seeing the results of Bush and Cheney's energy policies. I hate to be the one to tell you this but it is going to take more than a few months to change the situation. Right now the GOP is fighting to keep energy policy exactly as is. The policy is set up to milk as much money from the public as possible and the GOP will not give in on that position.
