Sarah Palin and the Alaska Independence Party

Sarah Palin is said to have been a member of the Alaska Independence Party (AIP) at one time. The AIP has tried to put on the ballet a measure for Alaska to secede from the United States, and become it’s own country, but they have never obtained enough signatures to put the measure on a ballet to be voted on by citizens. This isn’t the first group of people in the U.S. to have issues with the way the federal government handles things.
San Francisco, which is only a city in California, known for it’s large population of gays, wanted to become it’s own country after seceding from the U.S. After seceding, San Francisco said the U.S. could then provide it with military protection, even though most people in San Francisco hate the military. The Democratic Senator from San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi, is the first woman Speaker of the House, which means she becomes president if anything happens to the president and vice president. Pelosi could become President of a country that San Francisco doesn’t even want to be a part of.
Sarah is a "former" member of the AIP, and left because she didn’t agree with everything they proposed, like seceding from the U.S., but she still respects their opinion, because she is governor of all of Alaska, not just part of it.
The picture below is real, and is of Sarah when she was young. The shirt says "I may be broke but, I’m not flat busted."

The picture below of Sarah holding a gun, and posing in a bikini is not real.

The photo below is also not real, but it looks like something that could happen.

Josh Hartnett Intimate Video Tape

The Mirror claims Josh Hartnett and a "mystery girl" were caught on a hotel security camera getting intimate in multiple positions. However, their claim doesn’t have much to support it since they don’t have the intimate tape, and they claim the couple did their dirty deed "all over the place - the library included."
Since when do hotels have libraries? The Mirror also claims that Michael Jackson and Pamela Anderson are now a couple too. LOL!

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Are Expecting Another Baby

Tiger Woods (32) announced that he and his wife Elin Nordegren will be welcoming their second child. Tiger said today on his website:
"Elin and I are proud to announce that we are expecting our second child in late winter."
"This has been a year of contrasts. I had a solid start to the season, won the U.S. Open in an exciting playoff, and then unfortunately had to shut it down after successful knee surgery."
"And now, I have some wonderful news to report. Sam is going to be a big sister."
"Elin is feeling great, and we are both thrilled. While my injury has been disappointing and frustrating, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time watching Sam grow. I can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it is being a dad and spending time with her and Elin."
"The injury has been a blessing and a disappointment."
Tiger and his wife Elin, welcomed Sam Alexis Woods, in June 2007. Soon Sam will be a big sister.

The Dark Knight Passes $500 Million

The Dark Knight made Hollywood history after is topped $500 Million at the domestic box office this weekend, raising its total to $502.4 million, and is expected to climb to about $505 million by Labor Day. The Dark Knight hit the $500 million mark in just over six weeks, half the time it took Titanic, which reached $500 million in a little more than three months. Titanic, the biggest modern blockbuster, remains No. 1 on the domestic charts with $600.8 million.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., said he expects The Dark Knight to finish at about $530 million, though it could reach $550 million if business persists as strongly as it has.
The Dark Knight earnings should be viewed in perspective. Factoring in today’s higher admission prices, The Dark Knight would need to take in about $900 million to match the number of tickets sold by Titanic. No one is complaining however, with The Dark Knight coming in at number 2 behind Titanic.

Sarah Palin Early Sportscaster Days

Sarah Palin, was a sportscaster for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska back in 1988 (video below) when she was known as Sarah Heath, before she married an oil company production operator Todd Palin.
Here are five more details about Sarah, who is John McCain’s VP pick, you may not already know:
Her youngest son has Down syndrome. When Palin announced to friends after 4-month-old Trig’s birth in April that he had been diagnosed with Down syndrome, she wrote them a private e-mail she said: "This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective and bind us together, and get everyone focused on what really matters … Those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world tells [us] is ’normal’ or ’perfect.’ "
She has a son serving in the Army. Palin’s son Track, 19, is expected to be deployed to Iraq this fall. "He’s looking forward to it and we’re proud of him," Palin’s husband, Todd, said. "He’s grown up a lot in the past year." Says Palin: "I’m proud of him but I worry."
Her husband Todd is part Eskimo. Together 20 years, Todd, also 44, and Sarah "always wanted enough [kids] for a basketball team," she says. Todd is part Yupik Eskimo and helps run a family commercial fishing operation in addition to a fulltime job as an oil company production operator. As a hobby, he races snowmobiles. He caught Sarah’s eye in high school and they married in 1988. "He was the best basketball player I’d ever seen," she says.
She’s a former beauty queen. The 1987 University of Idaho graduate says: "I did the beauty pageants to earn money for college." Adding in a Vogue interview, "They made us line up in bathing suits and turn our backs so the male judges could look at our butts. I couldn’t believe it." The former Miss Wasilla, however, prefers basketball and hunting and fishing to bathing suit and evening gown contests. "I love the outdoors."
She has a great sense of style. Palin may be comfortable in a fisherman’s vest or hunting fatigues, but on the job as governor she wears Kazuo Kawasaki designer glasses and black Franco Sarto boots.
… and Sarah is an amazing woman who represents a great example for women in America.

Sarah Palin Daughter Bristol Palin is Pregnant at 17

Sarah Palin, the republican Vice Presidential nominee of John McCain, has a 17 year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, who is pregnant. Bristol plans to keep the baby, and marry the father. Sarah herself announced the news, in keeping with her open and honest approach to public life, unlike democratic leaders like John Edwards, and Bill Clinton, who chose to lie to keep their misdeeds a secret. Despite Bill’s lies, he still had to pay out almost $1 million in a sexual harassment lawsuit while he was still president, yet Democrats still love and respect him. Liberal bloggers today began spreading a false rumor that Sarah faked her down syndrome pregnancy, giving birth in May, to cover up for her pregnant daughter seen in the picture above on the far right. It makes no sense that a 17 year-old would give birth to a down syndrome baby, but it does make sense that a woman over 40 could. Sarah released the following statement today, while also asking the media to give their daughter, and the baby’s father, privacy.: "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us." "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." "Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates." There are a lot of questions about Bristol, like if she has finished high school yet, and if she sleeps around. Judging from reader response to Jamie Lynn Spears getting pregnant at 16 years-old, most people don’t approve of pregnancy under the age of 18, but still encourage parents to support those children for the sake of the baby. Thankfully, Bristol fell comfortable enough to tell her parents the truth, and took responsibility for her actions. Sarah has not made the same mistake as her daughter, so she tried to set a good example, unfortunately, despite trying to lead by example, all families make mistakes. The important thing is to be there for each other when mistakes happen, which is what the Palin family is doing. That’s a good republican family. As the rumors and criticism from liberal Democrats are voiced from today on, remember that those same Democrats, and even Barack Obama himself, says that Michelle Obama, and other family members should be "off limits" in a political campaign, and that Obama should not be judged by his association with criminals, America hating racists, and terrorists. Those same Democrats won’t even think twice about going after a pregnant 17 year-old girl, who needs support more than she needs a nervous breakdown from public criticism. John McCain was aware that Bristol was 17 and pregnant when he chose her mother Sarah to be his vice president. Democrats sling harsh criticism at Republicans who make mistakes, which is the price they pay for trying to lead by example, but the truth is no one is perfect, and Republicans like McCain know that fact. Even Dick Cheney knows no one is perfect. Cheney’s daughter is a lesbian who not only lives with her partner, but they have a baby they are now raising. The fact is Sarah is just like most good mothers, and women, in America. She tries her best, but makes mistakes like the rest of us. One fact remains however, she has accomplished a lot as governor of Alaska that others said could not be done, and she isn’t bragging about it. Sarah deserves a lot of credit and respect for how she conducts herself in politics, and in her personal life. I am hopeful that McCain and Palin are elected on November 4, so that honesty and integrity can once again lead this country to a better future.

Amy Wineouse Sued

Amy Winehouse is facing legal action after she pulled out of the Rock En Seine festival in Paris just two hours before she was due to headline it. On their web site organizers posted the following statement:
"We were told by Winehouse’s agent at 8pm that she would not be there, and we were forced to cancel the performance."
"We have still not been given any explanation of the exact reasons for her absence."
An Amy spokesman said Amy was sick, but did not require hospitalization this time:
"Amy Winehouse is currently at home recovering. The illness is nothing serious, nothing that some time in bed and not singing won’t cure."
Amy’s next scheduled gig is at Bestival on the Isle of Wight next weekend. Her dad Mitch has said that after that show she will take time off to focus on her health.
Amy should just retire.

Barack Obama Acceptance Speech at DNC 2008

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) accepts his party’s nomination for President, and speaks to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Obama barely mentioned Martin Luther King Jr. in his speech.
Does Obama have enough experience to be President of the United States? See the video below.

John McCain Picks Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential Running Mate

John McCain (72) has announced today that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (44) is his vice presidential running mate on the eve of the Republican National Convention. Palin is a self-styled gun packing hockey playing mother of five children, and political reformer, who has been governor of her state less than two years.
McCain picked Palin in an attempt to appeal to the disenfranchised Hillary Clinton supporters, and women who make up the majority of voters in the United States. If McCain is elected President, Palin will be the first woman Vice President, making history.
Palin is a brilliant pick. Unlike the arrogant first woman Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who wanted a jet as big as Air Force One to fly around and promote her book, Palin saved her state hundreds of thousands of dollars by getting rid of the private governor jet to fly commercial airlines, drives herself around without security staff, and she has reformed Alaska’s state government. She’s humble, hard working, and honest, and unlike Obama, Palin has executive experience as a state governor. Palin also has a nearly 90% approval rate by voters in her state.

Barack Obama Attacks Sarah Palin

Unlike John McCain’s congratulations video he put out when Barack Obama made his acceptance speech as the first black presidential nominee for the democratic party, Obama did not congratulate McCain’s vice president pic, Sarah Palin, for being the first republican woman to get picked as a vice presidential running mate. Obama released the following statement:
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies, that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same."
Obama is showing his elitist arrogance again. Obama is bashing small town America, and worse he’s bashing, rather than congratulating, a woman who has a chance on becoming the first woman Vice President of the United States of America. Obama is for Obama, not for America, and especially not for women in America. This isn’t the first time Obama has disrespected women.
At least Palin has two things that Obama doesn’t have, and those are good judgment as well as executive experience as a state Governor. Palin has a near 90% voter approval rating by voters in Alaska. Palin also has a strong record for fighting government corruption, while Obama appears to embrace it.
Obama has associations with criminals like his political fund-raiser Antoin Rezko (Tony) who was sentenced to federal prison, racists and America haters like reverend Jeremiah Wright, and terrorists like William Ayers (Bill). The video above reveals a lot of truth about Obama that he doesn’t want you to know about.

Demi Moore Squirts Breast Milk

Christopher Ciccone, aka Madonna’s brother, says Demi Moore squirted breast milk all over his lesbian friend in an Out magazine interview. He didn’t mention it in his book, but he could get sued anyway just for saying it:
Yeah — and she’s (Demi) dancing up on me and humping me from behind. The one part that’s not in the book is that she was lactating at the time and she was squirting breast milk at my lesbian friends. My friend Michelle called me the next morning and asked me, “How do I get breast milk out of my black dress?” and I said “How the fuck would I know? Call Demi.” It was hysterical. There are no pictures of it but it actually happened. The lawyers didn’t think it was wise for me to print that — so there’s your juicy tidbit.
True or not, the guy has no class.

John McCain Congratulates Barack Obama

Before Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, John McCain congratulated Obama for being the first black man to be nominated.
McCain also released a statement that he will not leak his pick for a vice president running mate, because he wants Obama to have the spotlight all to himself, as he will expect next week when he addresses the Republican National Convention.
All speeches aside, I can hardly wait to see these two men debate each other.

David Duchovny Enters Rehab for Sex Addiction

"I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."
Duchovny plays a sex-obsessed character on the Showtime series Californication, which earned Emmy nominations for casting and cinematography. The show’s second season begins September 28.
Showtime said in a statement:
"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time."
Showtime also hopes that David is cured of his sex addiction, but not his ability to play a sex addict.

"Miley Cyrus is just a little too tarty, forgive me. I don’t want her to look like she’s going into a convent school, but it’s just a little too much for a 15-year-old. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear she was 25!"
People said the same thing about Lindsay Lohan, and look how her career turned out.

Mackenzie Phillips Drug Bust Pictures

Mackenzie Phillips, mug shot above, was busted for drug possession at LAX. As you can see in the pictures, she had three balloons police say contained heroin, and 34 syringes.
Phillips almost didn’t get caught. When she went through the metal detector the alarm went off, so TSA patted her down, but she became uncooperative, so they had her sit down in chair. That’s when some balloons, and baggies fell out of her pant leg onto the floor.
Getting caught was for the best, maybe now she can get some help.

Suge Knight Arrested for Beating Up Girlfriend

Suge Knight was arrested yesterday by Las Vegas cops for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of controlled substances, and domestic violence.
Police say Suge punched his girlfriend of three years in the back of the head in the car.
