They spent how much?

So lets face it, our girl Sarah Palin has done it again. Or should I say "her people" have done it again. People are now referring to her "wardrobe of the stars," as a joke, which it pretty much is.

The Republican National Commitee has reportedly spent more then 150,000 at Nieman Marcus and Saks on a campaign makeover, whoa...you could buy many families entire wardrobes with that amount.

I don't know about you guys, but when we are in an economic crisis, somebody had to really not be paying attention when that information leaked. It all comes to down to the fact that: I'm sure they all spent vast amounts of money on thier campiagn attire BUT why could'nt Palin's camp keep it under wraps?

My question is...Did people find this out because it was heavily investigated because we can all honestly say our nation has an unhealthy obesssion with Sarah Palin and exposing her every wrong move. (Not saying its right or wrong) Or could this be due to someone's mishandling of information? You decide.

Call me crazy, but I know I have never heard the amount of any candidate to dates expenditures on clothing...So whats going on here? Are we obsessed with making fun of her every move or is she just making so many that we can't possibly stand to ignore?

Sarah Palin: A Timeline:

In the beginning she did'nt wear many clothes at all...

Then she decided to put them on...and start looking a bit more "governer-ish"...but still "hockey mom-esk," if you will, and I hope you will.

She took the kids home from hockey...made some dinner, glanced out back at Russia and went to bed. She woke up and put on her "governer outfit," and she was out the door!

Today...shes looking super pulled together...WAY TO GO GIRL....But at what cost???

You be the judge.

Does she deserve it?

Oh, Sarah Palin... she has done it again! She's sparking up new controversy, since the skeletons in her closet have been brought up to surface. According to Perez Hilton, Sarah Palin has had a history of lies. I always had a gut feeling that behind her innocent and perfect smile, laid a past that's somewhat shady. Sure, no one's perfect, but really Sarah? In the past, she's criticized other government leaders for doing shady things, which shows that she's a bit hypocritical, to say the least. Some risque things that she's done are:

- taking free trips, thanks to the city
- accepted money w/o letting anyone know (but now we know!)
- hooked her friends up with jobs (aw...)

and so on and so forth.

Even with all this bad press, do you think she deserves the bad media attention? Do you think that the media's being a bit harsh? Even with all her mistakes, I kind of wonder if they're being too difficult on her. She's only human, but I would sympathize more for her if she hadn't accused other politicians of not doing the right thing. Heck, you're not perfect either, Sarah!

Here's some videos I ran across, that you may find hilarious, harsh, or neither.


Getting boo'd at a hockey game! So much for being a hockey mom...



One of my favorites. Lucian Piane's "Sarah Palin remixed". haha!



controversy over her un-retouched NewsWeek cover.


So what do you guys think? Do you think that she's being attacked? Or does she deserve the bad media attention?

Yes Senator McCain I do care about what the bears are doing in Montana!
I never really thought of my self as a "tree hugger" but then I watched the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. This documentary really made me think, then I went to Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks last year. This was an eye opening experience for me to actually be able to see these things first hand. I spent a lot of time talking to park rangers, locals, and reading literature that the park publishes on climate change and I really began to worry about the damage we are causing. Yellowstone had five forest fires burning and the water levels were at an all time low. The park had to restrict fishing because the water temperature was too warm and too low.
When we drove from Yellowstone to Glacier National Park the smoke from the fires at both parks cast a haze all around and ashes floated through the air. The evidence of climate change at Glacier National Park is easier to see. The park will soon lose all of the glaciers it is named after. The glaciers will all be gone by the year 2030 but some park rangers think they will all be gone before then. The rangers are also worried about the affect this will have on the animals as well. The animals are having to come closer to trails, towns, and other rural areas for food and water. One ranger told us a story about a bird that changes colors to protect itself, it turns white in the winter and grey in the spring. The color change happens by the amount of sun light not temperature so the bird is turning white before the first snow (since it is coming later and later every year) making itself vulnerable to predators. There are tons of stories just like these.

I hope that our candidates for president McCain and Obama really take a look at this issue and work to slow down the effects. If France can get almost all their energy needs from nuclear power and be able to out source some to neighboring countries why cant we? There are other choices as well like wind, natural gas, and solar power. I am not asking everyone to change their lifestyle just reduce your carbon footprint. Because if everyone just did one little thing it would make a huge difference.
