Sarah Palin’s Book Already No. 1 Pretty Much Everywhere
Much to the chagrin of her critics, Sarah Palin is literally burning up the book charts across the board. It’s 38 days until the book goes public and it’s already #1 on Amazon and #1 on Barnes & Noble.

With Obama In Charge, Media Loses Interest In Filming Dead Soldiers
Throughout Bush’s presidency the liberal media howled about censorship and lobbied heavily for the right to film the flag-draped caskets of dead soldiers as they returned home. President Bush was accused of “hiding” the realities of war from the American people.
As soon as Obama took office he promptly lifted the ban on filming as long as the family of the deceased approved it. Since that time, more often than not the families have given the go ahead to film their deceased loved ones coming home — but the media is nowhere to be found.
According to the Washington Examiner, the media showed up in force the first couple times after the ban was lifted, but not so much after that.
When the casket bearing Air Force Tech. Sgt. Phillip Myers, of Hopewell, Va., arrived at Dover the night of April 5 — the first arrival in which press coverage was allowed — there were representatives of 35 media outlets on hand to cover the story. Two days later, when the body of Army Spc. Israel Candelaria Mejias, of San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, arrived, 17 media outlets were there. (All the figures here were provided by the Mortuary Affairs Operations Center.) On subsequent days in April, there were nearly a dozen press organizations on hand to cover arrivals.
Fast forward to today. On Sept. 2, when the casket bearing the body of Marine Lance Cpl. David Hall, of Elyria, Ohio, arrived at Dover, there was just one news outlet — the Associated Press — there to record it. The situation was pretty much the same when caskets arrived on Sept. 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 22, 23 and 26. There has been no television coverage at all in September.
This proves what most of us always knew about this issue from the very beginning. The media was only interested in photographing dead soldiers when it served to damage President Bush. With Obama now in charge of the war, the media has zero interest in showing the “realities of war” because it would only serve to damage their man. It’s truly despicable.

Military Considers Lifting Ban On Women In Submarines
This from Reuters:
Top Pentagon officials are calling for an end to the U.S. military’s historical ban on allowing women to serve in submarines.
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the top U.S. military officer, advocated the policy change in written congressional testimony distributed by his office to reporters on Friday.
"I believe we should continue to broaden opportunities for women. One policy I would like to see changed is the one barring (women’s) service aboard submarines," Mullen said.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said he was "moving out aggressively on this."
"I am very comfortable addressing integrating women into the submarine force," Admiral Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations, said in a statement.
Women account for about 15 percent of the more than 336,000 members of the U.S. Navy and can serve on its surface ships. But critics have argued that submarines are different, pointing to cramped quarters where some crews share beds in shifts.
The military has proven itself to be a very adaptable organization over the years and I predict this will be no different. As I’ve said many times, no branch of the military should be off-limits to women. That includes frontline combat roles in the Special Forces. Any woman who wishes to become a Navy SEAL and is physically able to complete the training should be given the opportunity to serve.

Liberalism really is a religion…
This from the same party that loves to cackle about how stupid religious people are. The left can’t stand God, but they do love themselves an authoritarian figure they can worship. When you look at this in along with their indoctrination of school kids — it’s pretty sick stuff.

Sarah Palin’s Book Titled “Going Rogue”
This from Michelle:
The AP reports that Sarah Palin’s memoir will be published on Nov. 17.
The title is “Going Rogue” — an allusion to the in-fighting between Team Sarah and the McCainiancs that broke out in the last weeks of the campaign.
Should be a good read.
ACORN’s White House ‘Political Director’
This via Big Government:
Newly discovered evidence shows the radical advocacy group ACORN has a man in the Obama White House.This power behind the throne is longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard. He holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush’s White House.
Evidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration, Gaspard was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis’s political director in New York.
And the plot thickens…
Newsweek’s Howard Fineman Is A Racist
Howard Fineman’s latest piece in Newsweek is nothing short of shocking. He thinks President Obama should take a break from TV stardom and actually get some part of his agenda passed. He even implies the President may be just an empty suit!
As sad as it makes me to say it, there can only be one reason for such criticism — Howard Fineman hates black people.
