Disclaimer: This rant on Palin does not mean I support Obama/Biden. I don’t because on foreign policy they are one in the same. I support Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney.
Although I’ve been following the Palin fiasco each day, I hadn’t planned on blogging about it. Mostly it’s been for my...

Since Barack Obama selected Senator Joe Biden as his running mate just prior to the Democratic National Convention in August, little attention has been paid to the Senator from Delaware. With all of the media's attention focused on Obama himself (as well as Sarah Palin of course), little focus has been given to Biden.

Less than an hour after Sarah Palin's nomination was announced, the comparisons to Tina Fey started. The glasses, the hair, the highlights - Sarah Palin is indeed a dead ringer for Tina Fey, who rose to fame as a writer and comic on
Saturday Night Live and left the show in 2006 to star in her own television sitcom,

In a presidential race, hardly anything is sacred...but should the subject of Bristol Palin's pregnancy be? Jillian York has the scoop.
