Sarah Palin’s Book Title – Time to Vote!
You realize, of course, that actually trying to choose the best of your entries to put into a poll is an impossible task. I guarantee I have not listed many titles that left me in stitches! But a poll can only be so long, and this one is ridiculously long as it is with 113 entries. Why 113? Because I had to stop somewhere. Have I left off your favorite? Please hat tip them in the comments. I have tried to attribute the entries, but some had several people who were the same or close. If I’ve forgotten to attribute something to…
Mudflats on Countdown With Keith Olbermann! (Updated)
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy UPDATE: Shannyn was great, as always, and will be back on the air again soon. I’ll keep you posted. Meanwhile, during her segment tonight, Shannyn told Mr. Olbermann about the book titles she and I were discussing today. The title of my recent post on Palin’s book included one of my favorites – “The Audacity of Hype.” And yes, I made Keith Olbermann giggle. (I take a big sweeping bow and cross “Make Keith Olbermann giggle” off my bucket list). ******************************************************* OK, not really…. But, Shannyn Moore will be on tonight, and…
Name That Book!
I solicited book name ideas in my original post, but it seems that I wasn’t clear enough, so hopefully the title of this new post will redeem me, and give you all some fun. What is your idea for the title of Palin’s new memoir? Please don’t post anything in the comments of this thread except your book name ideas. I’ll go through and pick out the ones I think are best from that thread and this one, and we’ll have a vote for the best, like we did for the ice cream flavor. In case you missed that one,…
The Audacity of Hype! Palin Signs Book Deal. But is it Legal?
Well she’s gone and done it. She’s had them written about her, she’s tried to get some pulled off library shelves, but now the Governor will have one of her very own. A book! Reports are now out that Sarah Palin has signed a deal with HarperCollins. “There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about,” Palin said in an interview today in which…
Monday Morning Cleavage!
Here’s an interesting little story. There is cleavage in the story, but the point of the story isn’t really about cleavage. I figured I’d just get that out of the way right off the bat and come back to it later to illustrate a point. The players in this little story are Mike Nizich, Governor Palin’s Chief of Staff; Annette Kreitzer, Commissioner of the Department of Administration, and citizen watchdog Andree MacLeod. Andree McLeod has filed several ethics complaints against the Governor in the past few months. She’s also filed a public records request that asks the state to turn over a…
The First Dude Takes Manhattan – and a Mudflatter is There.
When I heard that Sarah Palin was going to be at an Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute event in New York City, I wished very loudly that there would be a Mudflatter present at the event who could serve as a roving reporter/Mudspy. I’ll have to remember to wish like that more often because I received an email from just such a person – a NY Mudpuppy who was willing to write up an account of the event! Much to my dismay, the governor cancelled her appearance. I’m starting to think if the governor was a racehorse, and her appearance at an event…
Snidely Whiplash Does the Happy Dance!
(Imagine a hilariously funny graphic that sadly doesn’t exist, of Snidely Whiplash doing a happy dance here) This just in…. Ethics complaint #12 (that we know of) against Sarah Palin which alleged that SarahPAC, the governor’s political action committee was itself a violation of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act was dismissed today. The .pdf of the Personnel Board’s decision, via Independent Counsel Tom Daniel is HERE ethicscomplaintdismissal The board stated that there was no basis to conclude that the Governor used her office to create the PAC. So, this ethics complaint that was filed on April 22 has been…
Palin Cancels Friday Night Date With Dog Barbecueing Jew Counter.
You know….sometimes when I type headlines, I really really wish they weren’t true. I cannot emphasize enough how much that is the case in this instance. No matter how much I bang my head on the desk, this guy just won’t go away. First let me start with a disclaimer. Perhaps I should have said “former dog barbecueing jew counter” because those things happened a long time ago. So, you know… if you’re inclined, you can just move beyond that fact and let bygones be bygones. Hey, we all did crazy stuff in our youth. I’m sure there are many former dog…
