Sarah Palin Goes on Tour
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
She’s not campaigning - or is she? Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and very nearly the Vice President of the United States, will launch her book tour in a matter of days.
There are no stops planned for Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia or any other major city where most authors tour for book promotions. Instead, Palin is headed toward Washington, Pennsylvania, Noblesville, Indiana and Rochester, New York.
“She wants to be unconventional. She is unconventional,” explained Tina Andreadis, a spokesperson for HarperCollins. The first printing of Palin’s book, Going Rogue, offers 1.5 million copies to eager readers.

Oprah Snags Sarah Palin Interview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication, Oprah Winfrey Show, Gossip, News,
Oh what a difference a year makes.
Two of the biggest female names of 2008 will finally be sitting down for a chat in 2009. Mark your calendars: November 16 will be the date Sarah Palin has her first one-on-one with Oprah Winfrey.
Before last November’s elections, Oprah - who publicly endorsed Barack Obama - had been accused of showing favoritism because she chose not to welcome the VP candidate on her show. Winfrey’s reason? She didn’t want to use her program as a political platform. (Although President Obama had been a guest on her program, his appearances came before he decided to run for office.) Unfortunately, Oprah’s explanation didn’t satisfy many of her female fans.

William Shatner’s Take on Sarah Palin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Gossip, Video,
Bolding going where no man has gone before, William Shatner delivered an amusing version of former governor Sarah Palin’s rambling, confusing goodbye speech to Alaska during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show. While bongos played in the background and onlookers rolled in the aisles, Shatner offered up the perfect political dis. See the video above!

Sarah Palin Abdicates Her Office
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos, Where Are They Now?,
That’s right: she’s going to focus on being a full-time media celebrity. The nationally famous hockey mom, Sarah Palin, made the surprising announcement this week that she is stepping down from her position as Governor of Alaska, an office she was supposed to serve until 2010. You may remember her as John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 election (won by President Barack Obama), or from the many hysterically funny impressions of her that Tina Fey offered up on SNL.

To The People Surprised By Obama’s Radicalism
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Editorials, Elections, Media,
It’s been a while since I posted here, but my past work is starting to seem pretty prophetic. I predicted the hard turn to the left, after President Obama pretended to be a moderate while campaigning. I also touched upon media bias, broken campaign promises, empty slogans, and radical ties, among other things.
I’m glad a small number of people are starting to open their eyes and question this administration, but why did so many people not see what I saw coming this past fall?

Moldavan Rally via Twitter
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Internet,
This is proof positive that Twitter is more than stuff and nonsense. Moldovans were using the social messaging network to create a rally in response to Sunday’s election result and poor economy. Using Facebook and the tag “#pman,” which stands for Piata Marii Adunari Nationale, a large square in the capital city Chisinau, more than 10,000 gathered. The rally was considered to be “well designed, well thought out, coordinated, planned and paid for.” The protests began quietly on Monday, but escalated into stone throwing and fires until dispersed on Tuesday.

President Obama Gives iPod to the Queen
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
President Obama gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod when he met her at Buckingham Palace that contains footage of her 2007 visit to the U.S. It turns out that this wasn’t really an original gift as she already has two, one that she requested in 2005 and another given to her from her grandson Prince William. We are sure she was pleased anyway and, in return, presented the pres and first lady a silver framed photo of herself and her husband, the same gift she give to all visiting dignitaries.

YouTube Blocked By Chinese Government
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet,
YouTube spokesperson Scott Rubin claims that the site is currently blocked in China and has been since Monday. It has not been formally determined whether it was purposeful or a technical glitch. This is not the first time this has happened, as earlier this month access was denied because of the 1 year anniversary of protests by Tibetans. Since January, the government has closed several sites that were popular with Tibet. Not the first to censor the site, China joins Turkey and Thailand’s previous blockages.

People Have Been Fooled By Radical Obama
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Editorials,
This is for the people who swear Barack Obama is for change, and “non-partisan” politics. In a past blog, I wrote about a letter President Obama submitted to the left wing site, The Daily Kos. In that letter, he calls out to fellow liberals to basically flush out any moderate Democrats, and take the “fight” to the Republicans. Where is the change? Where is this “end of childish” politics he’s talking about? I haven’t seen it yet. I see him keeping with what he wrote for the Kos…an ultra-partisan political ideology.
In one part, he writes:
In order to beat them(Republicans), it is necessary for Democrats to get some backbone, give as good as they get, brook no compromise, drive out Democrats who are interested in “appeasing” the right wing, and enforce a more clearly progressive agenda.
