WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition.
Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too.

Democrats Called Foley Guilty of Sex Crimes
By Jeffrey Lord
The magic number is 16.
Just last night, on Sean Hannity's Fox Show, ABC's George Stephanopoulos said in defense of the liberal media's non-coverage of Kevin Jennings, that a person's entire career should be taken into consideration before they are sent packing from public service.
Fair enough.

CZAR WARSWorldNetDaily ExclusiveObama chief: Embryos are 'just a handful of cells'
Argues cloning ban 'silly,' scoffed at those who find it morally repugnant

TEL AVIV – There is no moral concern regarding cloning human beings since human embryos, which develop into a baby, are "only a handful of cells," argued President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.
"If scientists will be using and cloning embryos only at a very early stage when they are just a handful of cells (say, before they are four days old), there is no good reason for a ban (on cloning)," wrote Sunstein, who was confirmed by the Senate last week as administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
"It is silly to think that 'potential' is enough for moral concern.

In a July 14 news release the “Honolulu Community Media Council” (HCMC) denounces Accuracy In Media and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for “shoddy journalism and smear tactics.” HCMC, headed by Chris Conybeare of the University of Hawaii, “finds” that “there is no substance to the claim” that “Frank Marshall Davis was a lifelong Communist and a mentor to (presidential candidate Barack) Obama.”
Conybeare may be hoping that nobody else knowing the post-WW II history of Hawaii is willing to talk. Davis, it turns out, was just one member of a network whose works continue to exert influence to this day.
Connecting the Dots
A faculty member of the UH-West Oahu Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR), Conybeare is producer of a many-part PBS series on the history of labor organizing in Hawaii, focusing on the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).

PUBLIC POST *
(Because I'm really curious about whether anyone can rationally justify this.)
While they're stealing our tax dollars and robbing our kids' piggy banks, the Obamas are partying it up in the White House.
No time just now for a full blog post, but I had to share this.

Somehow Star Magazine secured a maybe-exclusive interview with Jennifer Aniston in which she promotes Marley & Me, her upcoming dog-centered film with Owen Wilson. The movie is not scheduled for release until Christmas, so I’m kind of perplexed why she’s talking about it now to a gossip magazine. Star has actual quotes from Aniston, it’s written out like an interview and there are no “insiders” or “onlookers” mentioned, so we can assume it’s legitimate.
