Did Sarah Palin just endorse gay rights? (The Week)
New York – Palin retweeted a column endorsing the Repeal of the ban on Gays in the Military. Does that count as supporting Gay Rights? During the recent fight over the Repeal of the U.S. Military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays, one prominent political voice was silent: Sarah Palin. Now, some commentators think she may have lent her Endorsement to the pending DADT repeal, or even gay rights in general, with her retweet on Monday of a pro-gay message by conservative Lesbian talk-...

Sarah Palin stirred the Twittersphere Monday evening when she retweeted a pro-gay message by Lesbian conservative commentator Tammy Bruce concerning the "hypocrisy" of homophobic and anti-gay actions.

Someone high-five Sarah Palin for me--Obama administration admits "mix-up", will remove death panels from new Medicare regulatio
A week ago, word came out that the Obama Administration were planning to install these “Death Panels” in Medicare Regulation. After people critized the administration acknowledging Palin was right about these end-of-life planning, The NY Times reports today that the administration made a “mix-up” and these panels will be removed. No, the mix-up is that it was politically stupid to implement this Regulation. The uproar was palpable. In other words, Palin and Conservatives ...

A Few Brief Thoughts on a Sarah Palin ReTweet
As you can tell from my previous post about the USS Enterprise situation a Palin ReTweet of one of my Tweets seems to have become another story unto itself. I’ve been getting tons of emails asking me to expand a bit on what I think the RT means. So, in this post I’m going to expound briefly on what I think Governor Palins’ intention was and my assessment of her in this context.

The Unintended Consequences of Repealing Dont Ask, Dont Tell
Unintended consequences.  That’s a brief phrase that’s getting worn out in a hurry.  It seems that everything has it’s ‘Unintended Consequences’ these days and I’m going to make that monkey pile just a little higher. In the final hours of the 111th disaster commonly known as Congress, our elected representatives and senators put their stamp of approval on ending Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell, the federal law that prevented gay and Lesbian Military...

Sarah Palin, Tammy Bruce Anti-DADT Tweet: Announcement or Trial Balloon
Sarah Palin forwarded a message to hundreds of thousands of her followers from conservative Talk Show host, Tammy Bruce (above). The message, in the context of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” that Palin re-tweeted: “But this hypocrisy is just truly too much.

A gay and Lesbian rights Advocacy Group, Human Rights Campaign, is calling the 112th House of Representatives solidly against their cause. According to the group's tally, 53 seats now belong to lawmakers who do not support the group's efforts.

A spokesman for the group, Michael Cole-Schwartz, said in an e-mail that for new members, the labels are base...

Marines hardest hit by Pentagon cuts
Image via Wikipedia NY Times: It was supposed to be a tank that swims, a new way for the Marines to storm hostile beaches. But as Military Budgets come under pressure, the 38-ton landing craft that turns into an assault vehicle seems destined to be the next bit of high-tech wizardry to bite the dust. Pentagon and industry officials say the Defense Secretary, Robert M. Gates, is poised to cancel the long-delayed $14.4 billion program on Thursday, when he is expected to announce a new round of ...

Death panels no more: HHS drops Medicare reg on end-of-life planning
Actually, there’s no panel involved. What we’re talking about here is paying doctors to remind elderly patients during the annual check-up that they might want to leave some written instructions in case they’re incapacitated and eager to avoid a Schiavo-esque family tug of war. You don’t need a doctor for that, in fact; you can print out your state’s standardized living will form here, fill in the appropriate boxes, and then take it to a local notary for signature...

"Wuh, wuh, wuh," stuttered Alec Baldwin , before Elliot Spitzer interrupted with surprise, "I've never heard you stutter before."  However it wasn't the stammer that surprised  Spitzer as much as the personal reasons Baldwin gave to explain his passion for politics, prompting Spitzer to note, "You almost sound like Sarah Palin."

Van Fleins name dropped from Anchorage law firm
There's been a shake up in the name of a well-known Alaska Law Firm. Clapp, Peterson, Van Flein, Tiemessen & Thorsness LLC has dropped the "Van Flein" and added a "Johnson."

In addition to departing from the firm, he's saying goodbye to his stint as a paid advisor for SarahPAC, Sarah Palin's political action committee, and as the Palin family's and Sen...

Dont Ask, Dont Tell, Dont Surf and Turf
Having written “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Smoke,” my eye quickly caught a Letter to the Editor in today’s Stars and Stripes, titled “‘‘Don’t ask,’ surf and turf.” While hopefully my piece was a little more serious and a little less irreverent, this letter in all its “cheeky,” sardonic glory certainly gets its message across—after a while. Enjoy, or endure, according to your predisposition ‘Don’t ask,
