Courtney Hazlett over at MSNBC’s “The Scoop” is reporting that thousands of “Us Weekly” subscribers have not only called the magazine to cancel their subscriptions – some reports say up to 10,000 cancellations have occurred – but have also contacted advertisers and expressed their outrage that they are advertising with the celebrity news magazine that would so blatantly try to destroy Governor Palin.
Hazlett is hearing that the editorial board of “Us Weekly” had thought they pegged it right that media pressure and attacks would see Palin pulled from the McCain ticket even before her debut speech. Because the media had so quickly swarmed to destroy her, they thought she was toast before she even had the chance to accept the nomination.
“When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart,” says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin ...

Let my Palin go From: corner.nationalreview.com Post Date: 2008-09-28 09:56:56
I agree with you, Mona, and Kathryn and Bill. The Palin nomination has generated the only real enthusiasm on the Republican side and keeping her under wraps until she can mouth the appropriately nuanced platitudes isn't worth it. There's nothing to be gained by taking Miss Authenticity and turning her into a Foggy Bottom bore. Plus a gazillion interviews a day with WZZZ-AM Presque Isle, Maine would lessen the Elimination Round stakes attached to the once-a-month highwire acts with Couric... more
As Senator Biden prepares to face off against Governor Palin on Thursday night in the campaign’s lone vice presidential debate, Democratic strategists have a few words of advice for the lawmaker of Delaware: Ignore the Alaskan. Mr. Biden’s 35 years in the Senate dwarf Ms. Palin’s single month of experience on the national stage, but Democrats are worried that his penchant for verbal missteps and his occasionally aggressive style could be a liability as he faces only the second ... more
I have been under-whelmed thus far with Governor Palin’s interviews. Team McCain really needs to let her loose. We have seen that she can handle herself in debates. There is plenty of proof on you tube. What we need to see is that same fire and grasp of facts on the trail. Not ever press event will be a pep rally, it is now time to prove that the choice has merit, you were given the benefit of the doubt by the conservatives.
The total failure of the Couric interview is forgiv... more

Last night I was talking to a real estate agent, who mentioned that he once showed a house to a celebrity who liked it — but ultimately couldn’t buy the home due to security reasons. I don’t know if there were too many windows, skylights, or what, but it just wasn’t a go.
Paula Abdul is feeling in the same boat. After a fan committed suicide outside her home last month, she’s decided to sell her house and find a more secure location. Her rep told Us Weekly, ̶... more

“Middleclassness” Bad “Richness” Good
By: J.J. Jackson
Barack Obama’s pastor, excuse me “former” pastor - like that makes a
difference, the hate spewing Reverend Jeremiah Wright has made a career
of telling his congregation to avoid “middleclassness” as well as
preaching to them from the pulpit about the superiority of being “black”
and embracing “black” values above other values. Because, as we all
know, “blacks” are superior. Right?
Now however the Re... more
Three suspected gang members who go by the names “Spider,” “Froggy,” and “Lil Silent” were arrested during so-called “knock and talks” by authorities in Gwinnett County Thursday. One of the men, Edy Garcia-Nanarijo, aka “Spider,” came straight from the “Playboys” gang in Los Angeles to Gwinnett County to start a new gang, police believe. Garcia, 25, lives in Norcross. The other suspected gang members were identified as: # J... more

Douglas paramedics responded at about 8:15 p.m. Thursday and treated the migrant and determined that he needed to be transported to Tucson Medical Center. The empty lot behind Mustang Gas Station on 10th Street was cordoned off and used as a helio pad for the helicopter that transported the migrant to Tucson.

CALDWELL — Canyon County has spent more than $61,000 suing businesses that commissioners accused of employing illegal immigrants, according to documents obtained by the Idaho Press-Tribune. The lawsuit has been dismissed in both the U.S. District Court and, last week, by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. County commissioners have not yet decided if they will ask the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the case.
