Palin Family Values: No Relationship of Trust with Her Family?!?!?
A McCain advisor not only called Palin a diva, but he suggests that Palin doesn’t trust her husband. Whew. This is getting fun.

The friend whose house Ashley Todd went to after she carved a backwards-B on her face took the picture of her and gave it to the College Republicans.
Sarah Palin partisans have just announced she’s going to ignore the McCain campaign for the rest of this campaign.
I spent a good chunk of the day chasing down this story (which was first noted here) and related details that suggest Sarah Palin, at least, may have called Ashley Todd before her story broke in its full disgusting glory.

Ouch. If it weren’t for bad news, Sarah Palin might not have any news at all. Found culpable once already, on the morning of her deposition in the second major investigation into abuse of power, this one by the Alaska State Personnel Board, Sarahdipity woke up to a skewering by the LA Times for rampant and unprecedented cronyism.

Ever since the primary campaign for President began, what seems so long ago, I have related to readers of Emptywheel and FDL just how strong of a distaste that long time native Arizonans have always had for John McCain.

Another judge–this time in Wisconsin–decided in favor of voters over Republican chicanery.
It looks like Obama was as impressed by Michael Pollan’s “Letter to the Next President” as we were.
