I spent several hours today tweeting Kim Chatman's reports from Sarah Palin's book signing at Elmendorf. Tonight, Kim sent me a summary email (below) and several pictures she took on her cell phone.
A couple of comments before [...]

One of the biggest open secrets in Alaska politics was confirmed Wednesday morning, when Larry Persily was named Federal Coordinator for Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects.

You know one of the things that really irritates me is how quickly the country's economic woes become the fault of President Obama. Especially since I felt for quite some time that Bush and company were really TRYING to destroy this country.
I know it may seem a little over the [...]
Thursday, on the Rusty Humphries radio show, Sarah Palin lied. She insinuated President Obama has never shown his birth certificate, and that she had shown her son Trig's. Both statements are lies.About President Obama's birth certificate, here's the exchange:

President Barack Obama is sending 30,000 extra U.S. troops to Afghanistan on an accelerated timetable that will have the first Marines there as early as Christmas and all forces in place by summer. But he'll also declare Tuesday night that troops will start leaving in 19' [...] If President Obama, who I voted for because I thought he was progressive, sends 30,000 troops into Afghanistan it’s time to institute compulsory military service in the United States. Our military has depended on “Stop Loss,” the ultimate Catch-22, to keep volunteers in the military seemingly for ever. I think [...]

President Barack H. Obama was elected “fair and square” (not counting the probable involvement of ACORN) by American voters in our democratic republic. I didn’t vote for Mr. Obama, but I respect our election process. I want every president of our United States to succeed in [...]

I cannot believe Walters asked Sarah if she wanted to play basketball against Obama. At least she realizes that she would be outmatched.
By the way "political correctness" is a new Conservative catch phrase to hide their inherent racism and lack of civility. Pay close attention and you will [...]

Oprah Winfrey’s show is on right now in Washington D.C., and here are some highlights from Oprah’s interview with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. I'll be updating as the show continues:
