Bristol Palin took a ride on the mechanical bull at Saddle Ranch, but it looks like the heckling from the crowd is what really threw her off. A drunk dude called her mom a "whore," and Palin fired back that he probably hated her because he was a homosexual. Here's how the battle of the brains went down. more ›

Funnyman, deport thyself: "If Sarah Palin becomes president at any point, I would say 'allegedly,' I will move to Canada," comedian George Lopez told CNN's Piers Morgan in an interview (video). Lopez didn't say why he wouldn't head south of the border (we have a few ideas) but he did explain that it's all politics: "I like my politicians to actually have a political background." more ›

In the media, the rule is every story has a picture. So when covering the latest Sarah Palin news about the likelihood the Hockey Mom with a creative take on U.S. history will run for President in 2012, Fox News flubbed big time and put up a photo of Palin's best impersonator, SNL alum and 30 Rock star Tina Fey. Oops! more ›

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is China-bound and yesterday made an observation while flying over Alaska. "Over Anchorage, AK. Looking everywhere but can't see Russia from here. Will keep you updated as search continues," he tweeted in reference to Sarah Palin, noted LA Observed. Awesome (but doesn't make up for the fact that the state is in dire straights). During the 2008 presidential campaign, the vice president candidate Palin claimed she had foreign policy experience in relation to being able to see Russia from inland parts of the state. Schwarzenegger's last noted tweet was about eating California-produced eggs. more ›

Despite an announcement earlier this month that former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was to speak at an event in Simi Valley, today a representative says she never committed to attending. “As repeatedly stated to several in the media over the last week, former Governor Sarah Palin is not committed to attend the Simi Valley Republican Women’s event at the Reagan Library and in fact is not attending the event,” read a statement that was posted on Palin‘s Facebook site and posted on CNN. “Neither the Governor’s state staff nor SarahPAC has ever committed to attending this event or speaking at this event, and even requested that the Governor's name be removed from the invitation several weeks ago.” The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 8th for the Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley. more ›

It may seem like a thankless struggle at times, but I will not rest until everyone who needs to see Battlestar Galactica has seen Battlestar Galactica. I don't think there has ever been a show so great that has been viewed by so few. Remedy that today! I sort of like the graininess of my current Spinal Tap DVD, but if you'd rather see Nigel, David, Derek and, uh, Liam in delicious 1080P than today is your day. I was excited about the prospect of a live-action Green Lantern movie right up to the point where Ryan Reynolds became involved. I like Ryan in light comedies, but he is all wrong for the Lantern Corps. I mean, Sinestro would just completely kick his ass! Finally, I urge everyone to do their patriotic duty by clicking on the Sarah Palin link and donating today! more ›

Sarah Palin will step down as Governor of Alaska on July 26 and next month she's headed to Simi Valley to attend a gala for the Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley. The August 8th event will be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library with conservative radio talk-show host and filmmaker John Ziegler as the master of ceremonies. Palin announced that she was stepping down from office for unknown reasons last week, but some are speculating it's to make room for a 2010 Presidential Bid. Nonetheless, she is saying she will be staying in the national politics scene. more ›

Thanks to Sarah Palin talking about her favorite second hand clothing store, small store owner Ellen Arvold of Out of the Closet in Anchorage, Alaska received a cease and desist letter from Out of the Closet in Los Angeles. "We've invested a lot of time, energy and money or resources branding Out of the Closet, tied specifically to our HIV/AIDS mission to provide care and advocacy regardless of a patient's ability to pay," said Ged Kenslea, spokesman for AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which owns the LA based store. "[Arvold] was very gracious and agreed to change the name of her store." The Alaska store is now called Second Run. more ›

However, it looks like the buyer needed to be a bit more aware; "The auction winner, who lives in Los Angeles County, thought he was bidding on a pro-Palin and pro-John McCain item and didn't realize its true nature until he heard about the auction on talk radio," the seller is reported as saying in the LA Times. The article says the mannequin is "not leaving its West Hollywood home," but doesn't say if the sale will go through; eBay's rules for bidders are quite firm, and unless the seller is amenable, the sale must go through. more ›

This ad on eBay was already taken down twice making headlines in the news. It's back up and selling for over $2,000 with 10 bids so far. more ›

It's no secret that 2008 has been a massive, epic failure of a year. With a couple of glaring exceptions, practically everything that could possible have gone wrong has gone miserably and completely wrong. It's almost as if the last 8 years was nothing more than a time release poison pill set to take effect at approximately... um, what time is it right now? more ›

Cliched, but true: I have so many things to be thankful for this year. Here’s a random sampling because there are way too many to list: more ›
