Former “Dancing with the Stars” star Bristol Palin got so much attention on April 30 in Washington, D.C. at an after party for the White House Correspondents Association dinner because her face got a more angled jaw and sharpened chin. She told US Weekly a while ago, “I had corrective jaw surgery.” She added, “Yes. [...]

Social media is praised for its role in bringing people from all walks of life, from all over the world, together in one forum to discuss and debate both public and private matters. But when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head today at a Safeway in Tucson, the ugly side of social [...]
Jennifer Grey wins “Dancing With the Stars”
Nov. 24, 2010 Leave a Comment
Jennifer Grey won! Kyle Massey was the second, and third prize went to Bristol Palin. The show did not end up turning into a popularity show, which some people were worried about since Palin, not really a talented dancer, was mainly backed up by her mother’s supporters, and if she won, it would not be [...]

The Big Apple Circus is set up in Government Center, but the elephants and tumblers were merely a sideshow to the political theatrics unfolding on Boston Common today. The Tea Party Express rolled into town today, bringing throngs of anti-tax, anti-big government Massachusetts residents out of the cracks and crevices of the bluest state in [...]

Jan. 11, 2010 5 Comments
There are a few hot bits of news to kick off this week. First of all, Fox announced Monday that Simon Cowell will be leaving “American Idol.” Suprisingly, it’s not because he was sick to death of Ryan Seacrest or appalled by talentless contestants. He’ll be bringing his popular U.K. talent show, “The X Factor,” [...]
Palin appears on Tonight Show
Dec. 11, 2009 Leave a Comment
Sarah Palin popped onto “The Tonight Show” tonight and bantered it up with William Shatner. While it had the air of surprise, Palin clearly read from cue cards. Shatner came on stage to “read” a few excerpts from Palin’s new book as a joke set to some jazz music. When he was done, Palin walked [...]

Beer and politics merge on the road to the White House
Oct. 29, 2008 2 Comments
Beer has long been a part of American politics, and today is no different, from “who would you rather have a beer with”, to brewers crafting recipes named after candidates. From the early days of George Washington’s home-brewed ales and James Madison’s attempts at creating a national brewery, patriots and early American leaders relied on [...]

Funnyman Will Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live during the intro of one of SNL’s special Thursday updates. We stood beside Tina Fey’s Gov. Sarah Palin, making it the only time the two most highly-rated SNL parodies of all time appeared together. SNL regular Darrell Hammond’s reluctant John McCain later appeared in skit, where Farrell’s [...]
Tina Fey reprises Palin role
Sept. 28, 2008 Leave a Comment
One word: accurate. Two words: comedic timing. Tina Fey did another spot-on impression of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. We watched it, live, and loved it, live. SNL also parodied Friday night’s presidential debate, but it didn’t get very good reviews. But for putting this together (they even got the flag lapel [...]
Hooray for Hockey Moms
Sept. 3, 2008 1 Comment
As a woman, I take offense to the tactics being used by the media to accuse Alaska Governor Sarah Palin of being incapable of balancing motherhood and the vice-presidency should she be elected to the White House alongside Arizona Senator John McCain this November. While I may disagree with her politics, I have to admit [...]
