Sarah Palin's Parents Kill Rats in Retirement

The Death of Journalism

We really saw the death of "true" journalism culminate during the 2008 presidential campaign. Sharkism (and sleaze) should be its new name...that is what I call it. Sarah Palin nor any other decent respectable citizen of the U.S. had not a clue what was in store for them when she entered the political arena for Vice-President. I am still embarrassed by their lowest common denominator behavior and vile treatment of her...it was completely despicable. They set themselves on an unswerving course to completely discredit her, her works and accomplishments in Alaska, and everything about her...AND IT STILL CONTINUES EVEN THOUGH THE RACE HAS ENDED. I, being just a scribe, have concluded from this that it takes someone with intelligence to recognize intelligence. No more needs to be said.

I'm really interested in this

It's odd so many here are concerned that the headline wasn't euphemistic enough. Some inclination to be dainty, to protect something with connotation, as though Palin's reputation is so fragile...is it?

The thing is, the facts are interesting, regardless of the words chosen, the headline. Maybe there's something here that sheds light on the "drill, baby, drill" chant?

I'd love to hear more about what kind of science teacher Sarah Palin's father was. Did he believe in evolution or creationism? How does his knowledge of science inform, or not inform, Palin's views on global warming? She doesn't seem very informed in terms of science, even on the details of climate in Alaska.

AMERICA CAN"T SEE FOR LOOKING AT THE media.

Chuck and Sally Heath are decent human beings. Yet for some reason 'the media' has a new contract out for a hit - this month it is Sarah Palin. Her parents and kids are being victimzed. I will never buy another newspaper nor watch another news station as long as I live - the media disgusts me. 'MURDERS' of a decent society.

Palin's parents members of the AIP?

Im just wondering if Sarah Palins parents are members of the Alaskan Independent Party, or will they admit to it? These people really like to kill dont they?

Report: No WMD stockpiles in Iraq

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Saddam Hussein did not possess stockpiles of illicit weapons at the time of the U.S. invasion in March 2003 and had not begun any program to produce them, a CIA report concludes.

Thank you, Mike in AZ - Loverly headline and it matters to the actual election how? As a liberal, I second the motion.

pathetic journalism

What a disgrace to journalism to allow such a negative headline-I am assuming that the author asked either Obama or her elementary aged child to come up with this title. If this would have been about Obama or Bidens parents, it would have been warm and fluffy to make them sound like angelic heroes. Note to the author: go back to journalism school and re-learn the ethics portion of the curriculum, you totally missed the point that Palins parents have a good work ethic and are good honest people.
