Palin quit before the FBI/IRS investigation into corrupt Republican leadership in Alaskan politics. Her reason for walking away from her responsibilities as Ethics Supervisor was because fellow commissioner Randy Ruderich, of all things, used office equipment for personal business. Unethical? Yes. A giant boo-yah to corruption in Alaska? I…
Palin's qualifications as a running mate for a candidate who is the oldest to ever seek the office of president (he would be two years shy of 80, were he to serve a full term, and 82 if he were to serve a consecutive term) certainly seems less than impressive,…

Your arguments regarding the fairness or silliness of the rules are moot for one simple reason: If everyone is held to the same rules, then there is nothing unfair about it. And while it may seem a silly rule to you, if everyone is being equally silly, then there…
1) Someone said earlier that medal tallies shouldn't count and that this isn't a "meat-stick" measuring competition. Well, perhaps totals shouldn't count, but they do and the length of one's "meat-stick" is virtually all that is being measured in these or any past Olympics. Competing with…
Georgia used military force under the guise of peacekeeping to try and incorporate two break-away provinces that preferred to stick with Russia. Russia responded in kind. And Russia's wrong why exactly? How is it that so many seem to be missing the hypocrisy here? Russia's response was certainly overkill, but…
