It seems that about-to-be former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is in serious legal trouble, which may explain her bizarre, rambling resignation yesterday.
Brad’s Blog is quoting multiple sources saying that the US Dept. of Justice is about to indict her on embezzlement, charges dating back to her days as Wasilla mayor. Apparently, when she [...]

“First Dude” Todd Palin busily made the party rounds as did many A list celebrities in Washington. Hollywood and Politics came together for one star-studded night at the annual White House Correspondent’s dinner. Sarah Palin though was forced to remain in Alaska and actually govern her way through a page-11 below the fold [...]

One does not become POTUS after 3-years in the Senate without making shrewd moves. These two are genius: separating John McCain’s political legacy from the ‘Wasilla Hillbilly’ and letting others carry the torture debate so he can honestly say he has no choice but to pursue prosecution of highest Bush officials for war [...]

Alaska was a shoe-in 3 electoral vote state for McCain-Palin. Yeah there was corruption everywhere and Senator-for-life Ted Steven’s jury still cannot throw the rude renegade jury lady out as they deliberate his fate. But Sarah was the golden girl?!? She was gonna energise the base. She got that pipeline goin’ for all [...]

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has some explaining to do. Seems Mr. and Mrs. Alaska have been charging the state for travel to bring their progeny along to events. Gov. Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports [...]

Major league baseball has generated more great stories than any other sport about the delightfully odd assortment of characters that played the game across the past 175 or so years.
Watching a video yesterday of Sarah Palin in her Wasilla church beseeching God to get her pipeline proposal approved reminded me one such story, [...]

The governor also has charged the state [...]

The Sarah Palin debate continues and Mary Mullin, a fomer Alaskan now living in Ireland offers this view. Simply, the longer Sarah Palin is kept from the media, the more people will find other narratives. Spunk and snarky one-liners work until one realises the Empress wears no clothes.sara

We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast.
