Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Do you remember the presidential election of 2008? Sarah Palin was a shooting star. But every Democratic pundit thought she would be formidable and dangerous if she had a brain. Well, meet Kari Lake, folks. Kari Lake is Sarah Palin with brains Even brainless Donald Trump wants to be like Kari Lake. She is often… Read more.
Think what you will of Sarah Palin, but she made a really good first impression on the national stage: remember her VP-nomination speech in 2008? Of course, she’s been such an unmitigated embarrassment since then that Republicans can be forgiven for thinking that speech was just a political wet dream. Which makes watching her flirtation… Read more.
A critically acclaimed author like Joe McGinniss writing a biography of Sarah Palin is akin to a critically acclaimed TV critic like Tom Shales writing a review of The Jersey Shore. It’s no wonder therefore that the New York Times dismissed McGinniss’s book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, as nothing more than “unsubstantiated gossip… Read more.

The story is not that Sarah Palin has made a book of her whining, self-righteous political platitudes; it’s that multitudes of stupid Americans are buying it. In fact, they have already bought over 700,000 copies of her Palinist Manifesto entitled Going Rogue (though one can be forgiven for reading it as Going Rouge) since its release… Read more.
On Saturday evening, I attended a dinner party at the home of a friend who is a proud Republican. And, as you can well imagine, it did not take long before our conservation turned into a spirited debate on presidential politics. However, as I invariably opt for asking questions instead of making assertions during such… Read more.
Truth be told, I really thought Palin showed enough style and self-confidence during her debate with Joe Biden on Thursday that Saturday Night Live would’ve been loath to continue making fun of her. But there was Tina Fey on Saturday night doing her parody of Palin’s folksy style and manufactured self-confidence in a way that ridiculed… Read more.
It really should surprise no one that Republican Sarah Palin surpassed expectations in her vice presidential debate with Democrat Joe Biden last night. After all, her poor performances in recent interviews had influential members of her own party calling on her to withdraw from the ticket – not only to spare herself further embarrassment but… Read more.
It’s time that normal Joe Six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency (sic). This was Gov. Sarah Palin’s folksy attempt to justify her inability to speak intelligently in recent interviews about anything except hunting moose and drilling oil pits. But this populist spin is patent nonsense. Because any normal Joe Six-pack would… Read more.
NOTE: This cartoon assumes you saw Palin in her fist deer-caught-in-the-headlights moment on Friday when reporter Charlie Gibson of ABC News asked her opinion on the Bush Doctrine. She made Dan Quayle’s first interview seem like that of a seasoned statesman. However, unlike the congenital dunce Quayle turned out to be, I suspect Sarah is a very quick… Read more.
