Politics: When Sarah Palin says something, it inexplicably becomes news

  • FOX News’ Glenn Beck is doing an extraordinary job this week walking America behind the scenes of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and outlining who is actually running the White House. Monday night he asked us to invite one friend to watch; tonight I invite all my friends to watch.
  • Sarah Pa … SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP … lin (sorry, we don’t know what came over us) • Discussing the fate of Glenn Beck and offering her support. Palin has become that rare politician who doesn’t have to have an elected office to have a huge impact in the media. Literally, she puts something on her Facebook page, and all of a sudden, it’s news. Man, we wish we could do that. • source

Politics, U.S.: Max Headroom special edition: Sarah Palin is f#(^ing crazy

  • The resignation video
  • Our analysis
    0:05-0:09 – Sarah Palin’s speech, already crazy, takes a turn about here, linking the military to freedom of speech.
    0:09-0:14 – Oh God, please don’t.
    0:23-0:51 – In your analysis of the press, could you be more bitingly cynical, Sarah?
    0:52-1:04 – She just killed whatever credibility she had left with the press.
    1:05-1:28 – Just don’t tell her crowd of supporters. They still love her.
    1:29-1:38 – Trust us. Ricky Hollywood doesn’t regret his moment in the sun. source

U.S.: Alaskans aren’t happy with departing governor Sarah Palin

  • She has single-handedly and unnecessarily created both expensive issues.
  • Anchorage resident Jeanne Ashcraft • Describing her dual frustration with Sarah Palin’s departure on Sunday – for forcing an unnecessary day in session to both swear in the lieutenant governor and to decide whether to override Palin’s veto against energy stimulus funds. Ashcraft isn’t alone in her criticism – bloggers, legislators and others have also complained about the added costs. • source

U.S.: Vanity Fair’s grammar divas edit Palin’s resignation speech. Ouch.

This is what happens when you put Sarah Palin’s resignation speech in the same room as Vanity Fair editors. I think we can assume that they really enjoyed doing this. source

Music: Update: Sufjan Stevens is (kinda) coming back (but not really)

  • State No. 3? Nope. Try reworked 1st album. Oh, Sufjan, how you tease us. Just a week ago, we were begging – no, pleading! – for your return to indie pop’s most famous serial novel. Well, this week, you showed back up, yeah, but you’re announcing the release of a reworked version of your first album, “Enjoy Your Rabbit.” “Run Rabbit Run,” the reworked album, will be reimagined by Osso, who’s helped Stevens in the past. OK dude, appreciated, but it’s no “Alaska”, which we’re sure will feature that destined classic, “Oh Sarah, You Media Showoff (the Ballad of Wasilla, A Stop on the Bridge to Nowhere).” source

Politics, U.S.: Levi Johnston on Sarah Palin: Well, I’m gonna be hypocritical

  • She had talked about how nice it would be to take some of this money people had been offering us and you know just run with it, say ‘forget everything else.’
  • Levi Johnston • On his would be baby’s-mama’s-mama, Sarah Palin, and her possibly golden-goose-related reasons for resigning as governor. He lived with the family for a short while while he was trying to be a son-in-law, Pauly Shore-style. Now, not to be critical or anything, but it’s not like Ricky Hollywood doesn’t have red on his hands. And to think, we used to like his jeans. • source
