Something tells me Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s loss of the Vice Presidency may have also lost Bristol Palin a husband. Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, and her fiancé, Levi Johnston, recently called off their engagement.
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Levi said he isn’t mature enough for marriage at this point. Mature enough to father a child? Sure! Marriage? Heck no!

This past week, everybody and their dog have been up in arms about Sarah Palin and the controversy over her brand new wardrobe. Spending $150,000 on suits, shoes, boots, even a makeup artist and hair stylist is not sitting too well with the population. Spending that money from the Republican National Committee, some from Republican supporters, is not the best way to promote oneself.
Looking back at photographs of Palin from when she was campaigning in Alaska, anyone can see the difference; it is like night and day. Frumpy sweaters, and dull coloured suits; Sarah Palin was less appealing than she is now.

Since I had the right to vote, I have viewed politics from afar. Politics have never really interested me in the least, mainly because I observed it as run-around and empty promises. I have found it hard to follow, or keep interested in laws and bills, campaigns or slam ads. Politics is just not my forte.
However, with the recent presidential election going on right now in the United States, (yes, I am completely disregarding the upcoming Canadian election) I cannot help but stick my nose in this business, and here is why. It is pop culture if it’s anything.

As a political conservative, I’ve written previously about how thrilled I was that John McCain picked Governor Sarah Palin as his vice president. (See Culture Feast article I Finally Have a Horse in the Race.) I wasn’t the only one who was excited by his choice. McCain’s poll numbers enjoyed a bounce after the announcement. Donors infused money into his campaign.

Are you tired of politics already? Are you sick of hearing how each man is going to save us with their plans that will only work in Imaginationland? Would you like to have some fun at political expense? Would you like to know what your name would be if Sarah Palin was your mom?

Sen. John McCain picked Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate and I’m thrilled.
You see, I’m a conservative, and here’s what that means to me. I’m for small government, small taxes, and largely a keep-your-nose-out-of my-business-type government–unless someone is getting hurt. I think government should protect the country and keep roads paved, and that’s about it. Prisons? Privatize them. The education system? Privatize it. The healthcare system? I don’t know what we should do about that. We’ve done a bit of both privatizing and government intervention and it’s still a mess. I’ll leave that debate to people who have answers.

Well let me go on record as saying I was completely wrong in who I thought John McCain was going to pick. I was hopeful for Mike Huckabee but thought it would be Mitt Romney, I know people were talking about the governor of Minnesota or of Florida but I did not think that was the way he was going to go.
As I looked at the choices I really did not see how any of them, even my beloved Huckabee would really help McCain. Here is what I felt John needed to do to be elected President:
