Congrats to Wasilla's newest teen mom! - 236.com - News

It's a boy! 18-year-old Bristol Palin gave birth to "Tripp," making mom Sarah a 44-year-old grandmother. Menstruating grannies are a phenomenon most commonly found in Appalachia or the ghetto. It was a busy month for the Palins. Last week, the baby's other grandmother, Sherry Johnston, was arrested on six felony counts involving Rush Limbaugh's weakness, oxycontin.

Dear Sarah Palin, Please Shut Up Already Petition

This is too funny!  But, don't you agree?  Sarah Palin needs to put a cork in it!  So sign the petition and maybe she'll get the hint!

To:  Governor Sarah Palin

Dear Governor Palin,
We the undersigned implore you to remain in Alaska (where your national security credentials are required to repel a Soviet invasion) and stop giving media interviews and press conferences.
Maybe you missed what was going outside your small circle of adoring fans but you and your team were soundly defeated in the 2008 election. Sensible citizens rejected your fear mongering, divisiveness, guilt by association and rambling incoherence in favor of an articulate leader whose vision has brought millions of people together from all walks of life.
Governor Palin, you had your 15 minutes of fame, and now they’re thankfully over. America has far more important things to do than listen to you right now. If, in the future, the war against terror or another political, economic, social or environmental meltdown demands the best mooseburger recipe, rest assured we will call you at 3:00 am (EST).
Until then, however, the best way to serve this nation you love so well is to just shut up. Enough already.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Dear Sarah Palin, Please Shut Up Already Petition

What Just Happened

Written by Kevin Drum -
Despite all the grief she's gotten, I continue to think that the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate represents the breaking of a consensual cultural barrier far more fundamental than most people realize. It's not just that she was inexperienced (Spiro Agnew and John Edwards weren't much more experienced than Palin when they ran for VP) but that she was — obviously, transparently, completely — uninterested in and uninformed about national policy at nearly every level. We've simply never seen someone so completely unmoored from the normal requirements of national office before. She was chosen purely at the level of celebrity, and an awful lot of people seemed to be just fine with that.

Biden should have told the truth: Sarah Palin is a Marxist

Alaska get's over half its budget from oil company taxes, and every citizen gets thousands of dollars free from the state government every year for doing absolutely nothing. I guess that means the "red" state of Alaska is red because it's a Marxist's paradise, not because it's a model of fiscal conservatism.

How Local Teens Beat Sarah Palin Over Skate Park

A member of the band Portugal. The Man recalls a flap with then-Mayor Palin that took place 10 years ago over a local Skate Park.

Last month, singer/guitarist John Baldwin Gourley — who grew up in a remote
generator-powered log cabin with no telephone outside Wasilla — wrote a
passionate essay on his feelings about his former mayor's ascension to
the national stage, but it was bassist Zach Carothers' story about his
battle with Palin over a skate park that really caught our attention. We asked
him to recount his tale for us.
