There’s so much not to like about Sarah Palin … why do I find myself admiring her?
- April Daniels Hussar, BettyConfidential.com
Like many people outside of Alaska, the first I heard of Sarah Palin was back in August 2008, when John McCain announced her as his running mate. My first reaction: Smooth move, John. We wanted a woman in the Oval Office, now you might be giving us one. My second reaction: How sexist and condescending can you get. We can’t have Hillary, so any old female will do? And my third: Dear Lord, please don’t let this woman end up in the White House.So here’s my confession: I was – and still am – an ardent Obama supporter. Politically speaking I’d say Sarah Palin and I are just about polar opposites. (You say, “Drill baby;” I say, “No blood for oil.”) I shudder to imagine her holding a national political office. But, the thing is, well … see, it’s like this … I kind of like her too.

Ok, I've been reading some posts about Sarah Palin on here and it seems like everyone is always attacking her and saying bad things about her. Why? I want to know what is so horrible about Sarah Palin. I personally like her beliefs, and I like what she stands for. We all know that there have…

I love how opinionated everyone in America has become. I feel like it is truly a testament to how far we have come that all types of people can so freely voice their opinions. Over the past week or so I've read articles about Megan Fox, Sarah Palin, Heidi Montag and other women who are famous…

It's a big week for Sarah Palin.
Four months after her early departure as Alaska's governor, a year after the end of her vice presidential bid as John McCain's running mate for the White House, and six months after signing a book deal with Harper Collins, Palin's book is out. She appeared on Oprah to kick off her book tour, and sales were brisk before she sat in Oprah's coveted chair. "Going Rogue: An American Life" is on the bestseller lists at Barnes and Noble and Amazon, which is selling the $29 book for $9 to compete with Wal-Mart's bottom-price bestseller deals. (No wonder advance sales are doing so well!)
Book reviewers and the AP have gotten advance copies of the book, so as we wait to dive into the 432-page, no-index read ourselves, let's take a look at some of the early reviews: Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (224) | Blog

The Huffington Post reported recently that former vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin has posted her resume on LinkedIn.
I have to admit, I don't really see the point in snarking about this. Sure, her LinkedIn profile is out of date, and of course she's highlighting the peaks of her career and not the valleys. But for all that I disagree with her politics, the former governor of Alaska is super savvy when it comes to social networking. And, in this day and age (and economy), social networking is a valuable tool. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (4) | Blog

Daystar, I guess you guys held onto your check forever and it bounced. I do operate on an extremely tight budget. I know I am probably too liberal for your taste. Maybe we can call things even and we can end my pledge now. Sarah Palin, my instincts tell me you are worried… Read More »

I apologise to my women readers for trying to mimic David Letterman's top 10 list. I have watched his show recently and he seems to have downright hate for Sarah Palin. He has a segment which he calls "Things I'd rather do than read Sarah Palin's book." … Read More »
