“Unleashed, Palin Makes a Pit Bull Look Tame” »

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself.

Surely [...]

So Barack Obama is finally making his highly touted trip abroad. What does he do when he is on his way to Afghanistan, the country about which he could not be bothered to actually hold a meeting as Chair of the Senate’s Subcommittee on European Affairs (and NATO)? He plays basketball. Hoops. [...]

Anthony, one of the most renowned women from that time said, “It was we, the people, not we, the white male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.” Amen, sister!
