Nobody wants Bristol Palin back on DWTS
From US Magazine
Read the comments section. Nobody wants Bristol.
And if that is any indication of the success of her un-reality show, then it will be a bust.
Happy Memorial Day
Hope you are all having a great Memorial Day!
I'm going to share a personal story with you. When I was a child I hated Memorial Day. And I no longer recite the pledge of allegiance.
My dad was on our local cemetery board and every Memorial Sunday they had services at an old unused church across from the cemetery. Since my dad was on the board the whole family had to go and attend the services. As a 5-13 year old Memorial Day meant nothing to me. I really did not care. The services were boring, before the services the cemetery board had a business meeting. That was boring too.
Also my third grade and first grade teachers attended the services as well. They were mother and daughter and were also involved with the cemetery. I did not like these teachers because they would scream and holler at me and my classmates for the slightest transgression like coughing or calling out the wrong answer. The third grade teacher yelled so much that one time she got laryngitis. Sitting in that church with them made me physically ill, even after I was no longer their student.
As soon as I was old enough I started getting out of going to the services. This was early high school. I have never attended a Memorial Day Service since then.
As for the pledge of allegiance during the services, and the they would march the flags in and we would recite it. During my twenties when I started re-reading the bible I got to the commandments the first one is "You shall not have any Gods before me" I thought about it and came to the conclusion that the Pledge of Allegiance is against God's word. When we were reciting it we were idoling a piece of cloth sewn to a flag. That would be a sin. And the part "one nation under GOD" is blasphemy. Because of that conclusion I stopped reciting the pledge.
Don't get me wrong, I respect the flag, but I will not worship it. Also I do not attend any church services even the one at my own church on Memorial Sunday because of fear the may recite it. I do not want any dirty looks for not putting my hand over my heart and saying something blasphemous.

Sarah must have gotten a new face and neck
Anonymous May 24, 2012 7:30 AM I hope you don't have children. If so, I hope they have a better role model than you. Besides, she looks younger than she did in late 2005. Alaskan weather is hard on skin. Sarah's a pretty active person in life. Theyve all never been ones to sit still. She proves everyday she has a life outside what her tv watchers see.

Nice try, Bristol and Sarah-Update
From US Weekly
Bristol Palin's baby-daddy, Levi Johnston, is now penniless and living in his mother's Alaska home, a source tells Us Weekly.
"Levi made more than $1 million and squandered it on guns, boats and four-wheelers," the source says of Playgirl's winter 2010 cover model, 22.
The cash certainly didn't go to Palin, 21, for their 3-year-old, Tripp. "Levi hasn't paid child support in nearly two years," says another insider. "And he has little contact with Tripp."
Meanwhile, the onetime mayoral hopeful is expecting a daughter with girlfriend Sunny Oglesby. (They told Inside Edition they plan to name her Breeze Beretta, after the gun.) Says the first source, "Levi is confused about his life."
Levi Johnston's former rep Tank Jones--with whom he recently parted ways--counters that Levi is doing great.
"I wanted to work on other projects. This was a mutual decision," Jones tells Us of his decision to cease working with the Alaska native. "I would think he would want to do some different things too. I would never leave him at a low point."
Me thinks this source is Bristol or Sarah. I wouldn't be surprised if Levi spent his money on guns, boats, and crap. But I also would not be surprised if Tank and Rex fleeced him.
It's also hard to get a job in AK when the Palins shut every door available to you. Remember what she tried to do to Mike Wooten.
Bristol if the source is you, get on with your life. Do it for your son. Be a good example for once. Levi is no longer into you.
And I see Kristy opened her hole on this:
Best news I've heard all day. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. D-bag. Now maybe he will finally give up the rights to his son, Tripp. He's much better not having this guy in his life. His priorities are effed up. And to the Palin haters - keep on hating, it only makes them stronger.
Update-Gryphen over at Immoral Minority confirmed the news
Best bet for Levi is to get Gloria Allred on this case. He can sue Rex and Tank for fraud, malpractice and who knows what else.

From Malia Litman's blog-Homeland Security knows who Shailey Tripp is
From Malia Litman's blog
Senator Susan Collins is a Republican, and the senior member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. That committee has jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security and is the Senate’s Chief Oversight Committee. She is the former chairman of the committee. Wanting to ensure that she personally knew about the scandal involving Todd Palin and Shailey Tripp, I contacted her office this morning. I was referred to “Jake” who is one of the staff members assigned to cover the investigation that will be the subject of the inquiry tomorrow. Jake confirmed that Senator Collins already knew “all about” Shailey Tripp, Todd Palin, and David Chaney. It must be that the officer who took a statement from Shailey, as reported yesterday, actually gave a complete report which was evidently circulated to members of the committee. I am assuming this dissemination of information took place because it is my impression that the office who took the statement from Shailey Tripp did not work directly for Senator Collins. A little later today, I will post a link to listen to the hearing scheduled for tomorrow. and if the video becomes available, I’ll post a link to that as well.
My conclusion is that we are no longer dependent on Joe Leiberman to bring attention to this matter. It appears this story is now available to all members of the Senate Committee. If there is nothing discussed tomorrow about the culture of corruption in Alaska, it is because of an attempt by the members of the committee to keep this information secret. Responsibility will be shared, for better or worse, by all members of the committee.
Malia has been working diligently to expose the Palins for their misdeeds from the tax credit they got for their unreality show to Todd's prostitution ring. Her efforts are noble. I'm afraid though the Palins will skate on this one because they are like Teflon, nothing to them sticks. They got a slap on the wrist for Troopergate, Travelgate, AFT, and Taxgate. It's obvious Bristol keeps Tripp from Levi but the judges won't do anything.
Joe Lieberman may not like Sarah, he had to restrain her from coming after President Obama back in 2009.
However he is best friends with John McCain, and Sarah was his running mate. If Sarah is exposed, she will expose John. It's funny when Sarah ran for governor back in 2006 she promised to end the corruption in AK, but it's the corruption in DC that may save her ass.
Thank you Malia for everything you have done to expose the Palins! There is a special place for you in heaven.

Tim Tebow asks picture of him with scantily clad women removed from Twitter-Update
From TMZ
Tim Tebow posed for a photo backstage with cast members of the Broadway music "Rock of Ages" ... and then asked for that photo to be taken off Twitter ... this according to one of the cast members.
Neka Zang posted the pic (see above) on her Twitter account at some point last night -- and even posted a photo of the whole cast Tebowing.
But the photo with Tebow was gone a short time later ... which she explained by tweeting, "Well, Due to Tebow's "image" I was asked to remove the pic of him with us half dressed ladies. He does know we arn't real strippers right?"
She went on to say, "Tweeps. I'm not mad, or judging. Just letting u all know I took the pic down. Ok. Thanks."
Calls to Tebow's rep were not returned.
This is pretty sanctimonious. If Tim did not want that pic plastered all over the internet he shouldn't have had a picture of him taken with the women. This is 2012 not 1812.
Tim is more concerned about his "image" than serving Jesus.
Update-Here is Tim SHIRTLESS in an underwear ad:
Who's the bigger sinner now Timmy?
More from Jessicacough who is 13 and pregnant-Update

What does the reality show have to do with this? It was completed months ago. Bristol is now just working her job she's had since 2009, the Derm office one.
I would recommend not assuming things out of thin air. I'd also recommend not believing even statements given directly from the parties. As with all public figures with a PR person, those statements have an intended meaning. I group Rex/Tanks Levi-related statements with that as well.
Nothing can ever be derived about someone else's life from reading about it on the internet. The country as a whole needs to learn that in general.
To Allison, I'd also recommend not commenting on the Johnstons via your blog. I know none of them work and it's shady considering the expensive things they've been able to purchase for the last 6 years. But that is not the public's concern. Well, Sadie could be as she was grifting off people via her blog paypal. But that was also old and I doubt people still donate since they see Sadie loves herself some swag.

Her staff took it as a joke. Recall all the BP drama concerning her admin and Todd? This is what happens when people constantly take things out of context. Funny that the family spent a week in Mexico right before this and was about to go t Hawaii for a friends wedding, until Sarah was rushed back from Legis pressures.

It's intersting you say that because people who actually know Sarah wouldn't say something so hateful.
Anonymous May 18, 2012 6:15 AM
What's interesting is, Bristol and Gino's family got along really well. I don't want to speculate as to why they broke up. I will say that it's telling that Levi followed Bristol around like a sick puppy and Bristol has always been the shot-caller, dating needy guys. Sunny has said LEvi's a big baby.
How do you know Bristol changes her mind? You have to actually know a person before you could ever make a claim like that.

"It is just a place that is known for the worst of mankind when it comes to sexual kinks. There are reasons for that."
What the hell are you talking about!? "Reasons for that?" Okay, what reasons?
Dillingham is a small rural town like any other. Good things and bad. An unpleasant element and a civic-minded one. About the same proportion as anywhere else in America. Ordinary people living ordinary lives doing the best they can.
What's notable is that it's a commercial fishing town. Wonderful wonderful people doing cool awesome things. Breath-taking scenery. Did you know that Jacques Cousteau spent time there?
The expedition ship Alcyone was anchored outside of Dillingham for a summer. Here's a photo of Walrus Island. See the big white boat in the background?

Creepy weird stuff? Deep dark secrets? Child abuse and sexual assault? Focus on the urban areas and the small towns on the road system. Try Anchorage, Wasilla, Kenai, Glenallen.
"He would know how it goes and how it all works and how all the secrets are kept."
No, actually he _wouldn't_ know. Todd didn't "come up" in Dillingham. Todd was raised elsewhere and has lived his entire adult life in urban Alaska. Most of his immediate family live elsewhere and always have.
"Also how the Palins fit in to their state and locals, but can't yet say for certain what the instability is all about."
What do you mean? How they fit in with what, where? "the Palins"? Who? How they fit in Wasilla? Eagle River? Homer?
Do you maybe mean Sarah's family, the Heaths?
What "instability"? "THE" instability? What does that mean!
How come you people are so mean? Do you know what a disservice you do to a whole bunch of people - children, too - that have done nothing wrong, that you don't know, know nothing about and don't care. Is this really really necessary?
Why don't you trash Wasilla instead? Or how Glenallen? Now, that's a dark place! And, if you knew anything at all about Todd Palin, you'd know that's where he "came up."

Edward Klein writes a book of lies about President Obama
From Inquisitor
The Obama divorce story currently circulating the web has caused some confusion and chatter about the state of the President and the First Lady’s marriage- but it appears to go back to a book called The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, which is, not surprisingly, an anti-Obama work.
The Obama divorce story is just one of a few questionable claims made in the book by former New York Times Magazine editor Edward Klein, who also alleged that Michelle Obama is cripplingly jealous of other women, that she feuds with media queen Oprah, and that President Obama and his entourage have “gone to elaborate lengths to hide his dark side.”
A few stories have popped up since the Obama divorce story went viral speculating on the current state of the First Relationship, but it all seems to go back to the original allegations made in the book- namely that the Obamas went through a rough patch twelve years ago and that Michelle considered leaving the man who would later become the most powerful man in the free world.
Even the Amazon description of The Amateur (if the title wasn’t telling enough) seems to indicate that the work alleging the Obama divorce story probably is not a reasoned work of political investigation and rather, a timed hit piece consisting of loosely strung suppositions about the President interspersed with shaky anecdotes. The description promises that the book will reveal:
The President and the First Lady probably have had their troubles. What couple hasn't? And if they didn't they won't be the first Presidential couple to do so. Bill and Hillary Clinton's troubles are WELL documented, Laura threatened to leave Dumbya if he didn't quit drinking, St. Ronnie left Jane Wyman for Nancy, LBJ had lots of women and fathered a son out of wedlock, JFK was a sex addict, Eisenhower actually asked Harry Truman permission to leave Mamie for his secretary Kaye Summersby at the end of World War 2, Truman told him hell no. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt would have divorced if his mother had not intervened, and Harding fathered a daughter out of wedlock.
All the other stuff is bullshit too. Clinton has praised President Obama on several occasions.
At least the First Couple don't act like this one:
This hit piece is just an act of desperation by the right wing.

I don't believe this bullshit for a second.
- Why the so-called “centrist” Obama is actually in revolt against the values of the society he was elected to lead
- Why Bill Clinton loathes Barack Obama and tried to get Hillary to run against him in 2012
- The spiteful rivalry between Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey
- How Obama split the Kennedy family
- How Obama has taken more of a personal role in making foreign policy than any president since Richard Nixon—with disastrous results
- How Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett are the real powers behind the White House throne.

Why would Sarah and Todd divorce while pregnant with Trig

Why would a pregnant woman divorce her husband. Was Todd not the daddy? If so who was?

Remember Sarah Palin's death panel comments? Well now it's biting Medicare in the butt
From IOpinion
We’ll be hearing a lot from politicians this summer and fall about the urgency of dealing with Medicare spending, which will begin to rise sharply in the coming years as increasing numbers of the country’s 75 million baby boomers turn 65.
If we’re fortunate, some courageous candidates will call for renewed debate on a provision of the health care reform bill that had once enjoyed bipartisan support. The one that spineless Democrats decided had to be yanked when a certain former vice presidential nominee claimed, falsely, that it would create government-run “death panels.”
Medicare expenditures now total more than half a trillion dollars annually, representing 15 percent of federal spending. The only programs to which the government devotes more dollars are Social Security and national defense, both of which consume 20 percent of yearly federal outlays.
The Congressional Budget Office projects that the average annual growth in Medicare spending will be 5.8 percent between 2012 and 2020. It would have been one percentage point higher than that, according to the CBO, if not for the cost-constraining provisions of the Affordable Care Act, most notably the one that will gradually eliminate the bonuses the government pays private insurers to participate in the Medicare Advantage program.
The Affordable Care Act might have been able to curtail spending further if it hadn’t been for Sarah Palin’s reckless rhetoric. It was Palin who charged that a provision of the law allowing Medicare to pay doctors for having end-of-life discussions with their patients would lead to government-run “death panels.”
That provision was important because, according to the Congressional Research Service, about one-fourth of total Medicare spending is for the last year of life, and a lot of that spending could be avoided if more folks received counseling from their doctors on what they should do to ensure that their wishes are carried out when the grim reaper comes calling.
No one understands this better than Dan Morhaim, an adjunct professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and deputy majority leader of the Maryland House of Delegates. Morhaim, who also has been an emergency room physician and internist, has seen many cases in which people were hooked up to machines in vain attempts to restore their health — so many, in fact, that he wrote a book that should be required reading on Capitol Hill.
After reading Morhaim’s book, “The Better End—Surviving (and Dying) on Your Own Terms in Today’s Modern Medical World,” you’ll want to be sure you have a living will or advance directive in place—for your own good, for your family’s good and for your country’s as well.
Advance directives, which allow you to specify the kind of care you want as you approach the end of life, “offer something rare and important in our modern medical system,” Morhaim wrote. “They provide an opportunity to exert influence.”
And that’s never been more important, Morhaim contends. “As the baby boom generation reaches its senior years, as new lifesaving medical treatments are announced almost weekly and as our health care system confronts a crisis of affordability, the need is urgent for ordinary people to demand participation in end-of-life decisions.”
Another physician lawmaker who once shared Morhaim’s passion on this issue is Rep. Charles Boustany of Louisiana. Boustany, a heart surgeon, was one of three Republicans who cosponsored a bill in 2009 that formed the basis of the provision Palin maligned and mischaracterized.
When other Republicans began adopting Palin’s talking point, Boustany was forced to defend his support of the original bill. He was quoted as saying that he knew of many situations in which a critically ill patient hadn’t made his wishes known, leaving family members with the burden of making end-of-life treatment decisions. “This happens every day, multiple times, in hospitals across the country,” he said. “It’s a very important issue.”
The principal sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., said he was stunned when the controversy erupted. “It’s just beyond bizarre,” he told reporters at the time, noting that his bill had broad bipartisan support before Palin posted the death-panel charge on her Facebook page.
What was a good idea then is a good idea now, but Palin so poisoned the well that not a single Republican, not even Boustany, will go near it, certainly not in an election year. Blumenauer has reintroduced the measure as a stand-alone bill, and it has several cosponsors. But as you might imagine, all of them are Democrats.
And because Republicans now control the House, Blumenauer hasn’t even been able to get a hearing on the measure.
There is still some hope that the bill might someday become law. Boustany indicated in a 2009 interview that he and other proponents might be willing to back it again “at some point when the temperature has cooled down.”
Many families—and the Medicare program—will be better off if that moment comes sooner rather than later.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everything Sarah touches turns to shit. Now more people are going to die because of her comments. Sarah really does love death panels.

Another physician lawmaker who once shared Morhaim’s passion on this issue is Rep. Charles Boustany of Louisiana. Boustany, a heart surgeon, was one of three Republicans who cosponsored a bill in 2009 that formed the basis of the provision Palin maligned and mischaracterized.
When other Republicans began adopting Palin’s talking point, Boustany was forced to defend his support of the original bill. He was quoted as saying that he knew of many situations in which a critically ill patient hadn’t made his wishes known, leaving family members with the burden of making end-of-life treatment decisions. “This happens every day, multiple times, in hospitals across the country,” he said. “It’s a very important issue.”
The principal sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., said he was stunned when the controversy erupted. “It’s just beyond bizarre,” he told reporters at the time, noting that his bill had broad bipartisan support before Palin posted the death-panel charge on her Facebook page.
What was a good idea then is a good idea now, but Palin so poisoned the well that not a single Republican, not even Boustany, will go near it, certainly not in an election year. Blumenauer has reintroduced the measure as a stand-alone bill, and it has several cosponsors. But as you might imagine, all of them are Democrats.
And because Republicans now control the House, Blumenauer hasn’t even been able to get a hearing on the measure.
There is still some hope that the bill might someday become law. Boustany indicated in a 2009 interview that he and other proponents might be willing to back it again “at some point when the temperature has cooled down.”
Many families—and the Medicare program—will be better off if that moment comes sooner rather than later.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everything Sarah touches turns to shit. Now more people are going to die because of her comments. Sarah really does love death panels.

Rumor has it Bristol and Gino split
Someone posted a comment on Immoral Minority and here that Gino dumped Bristol during filming of her un-reality show. They also said Bristol posted the news on her private Facebook. Any truth to this? That might explain why Bristol reacted so badly to Levi and Sunny's baby news. She's jealous, Levi has someone and she is all alone.
Last Thursday she posted this pic of her and Gino on her public Facebook page: so who knows with her.

Sarah and Bristol Palin are the worst mothers in the world
The whores of Babble-On |
I admit I was going to ignore Bristol's blog because she and Nancy French have nothing constructive to say, but I have to make an exception for this. Bristol's recent post written by Nancy French about gay marriage convinced me it was really Sarah doing the bitching.
Sarah uses Bristol's blog to bash President Obama and Malia and Sasha over gay marriage. Sarah says via Bristol that President Obama disrespects marriage. Really Sarah? Isn't Bristol and Levi having a kid out of wedlock disrespecting the sanctity of marriage too? Oh that's right you are Palins you can do anything you want.
Four years ago President Obama said kids were off limits. He still abides by that. But you have to attack HIS kids who have stayed out of the spotlight unlike your oldest daughter. Shame on you. You use Bristol to spew your hatred of the POTUS and then throw her under the bus. That and all the stories of you neglecting your kids makes you the worst mother in the world.
Bristol you're next here. You bash your son's father in public, deny him access to Tripp and accuse him of rape. That makes you the worst mother in world along with your mother.
You claim your father is a role model. Guess what? He isn't. President Obama is a law school graduate, college professor and community organizer. Todd is a college dropout, a pimp, and races snowmobiles.
If Todd and Sarah were decent parents Track wouldn't have gotten into drugs and vandalizing school buses, you would not have gotten knocked up twice, Willow wouldn't have been breaking into houses, Piper would be in school and Trig would not be a prop.
Can't you write a blog without a ghostwriter either? That education in Wasilla must be a joke. But then again the Mat-Su school district hired your grandfather as a teacher so their standards must be low.
And admit it, you were knocked up during DWTS. You are the only contestant not to lose weight. And you turned 20 during the season so you can't say you were a teenager during it.
Gino also looks like Levi. I think you can't get over Levi so you look for look-alikes to ride in canvas tents and downing 3-4 winecoolers in a sitting. Which reminds me talking about your sex life also qualifies you as worst mother in the world.

Sarah Palin not well liked by mothers
The biggest hoax in political history |
From Washington Secrets
Here’s another reason why Sarah Palin failed as Sen. John McCain’s 2008 vice presidential running mate: The whole “hockey mom” thing that was supposed to win over soccer moms flopped.
A new report from the authoritative American Politics Research journal finds that her story of being a mom of five hockey playing kids held no appeal to the rest of parents. “Palin fared particularly poorly among married mothers,” it said, because her candidacy “did not hold any special appeal to mothers or fathers.”
And on Election Day, added the journal, “Mothers, like women overall, were a very solid Democratic voting block in 2008.”
It’s just the latest review of her candidacy that describes just what a mistake McCain’s pick from left field was, a nomination that the Republican Party and Mitt Romney promise they won’t repeat.

I can think of a lot of reasons why she flopped with mothers.
1.She was no longer a hockey mom
2.She claimed to be a PTA mom yet hadn't attended a PTA meeting in 10 years
3.She dragged her kids on the campaign trail instead of sending them to school
4.She told a whopper of how she delivered Trig
5.Troopergate

Deb Fisher never got the memo about Sarah and Todd Palin
From Gretawire
GOVERNOR SARAH AND TODD PALIN ENDORSE DEB FISCHER FOR U.S. SENATE
Lincoln, NE – Today, Senator Deb Fischer, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska, announced that she has been endorsed by former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin and her husband Todd Palin.
“I’m incredibly honored to receive the endorsement of Governor Sarah Palin and Todd Palin. I greatly admire their willingness to stand on conservative principle and their resolve in standing up to the political establishment,” said Senator Deb Fischer.
“Our campaign is grassroots powered and focused on conservative policy solutions that will change the course of this nation. I’m a wife, mother, rancher, small business owner, and citizen legislator, not a career politician. To change Washington, we need to send a different type of person there. That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate.”
At the onset of the campaign, Deb Fischer shared her story, her passion and and beliefs with Governor Palin and requested her support. Below is part of Senator Fischer’s note:
I am writing to you as both a fan of your strong, conservative principles and as a fellow female Republican. I have watched your career with respect as you take on tough issues, all while raising a family and serving your great state. Your career has inspired me and so many other female politicians who believe principles should be above politics.
Now watch Fisher's campaign crash and burn. Obviously she has never heard of the Palin curse. Everything Sarah touches turns to shit.
Here is Sarah's actual endorsement:
Deb – thank you for your note. We have been watching your race closely. Your efforts remind us of those our family put forth for Sarah’s races here in Alaska. Winning over voters through personal interactions is the way to go.
People are tired of outside interests spending millions of dollars in political attack ads. We’re glad to see your grassroots efforts paying off! We admire your conservative principles and know that you will not go to Washington to amass great wealth or power. You will go to Washington to serve the people of Nebraska, protect our Constitution and work for common sense solutions to help restore America. We are happy to support you and have asked SarahPAC to send a financial contribution to your campaign.
Good luck next Tuesday – the Palins are in your corner.

President Obama now supports gay marriage
To be honest I'm ambivalent about gay marriage. As a straight female it does effect me at all. I do see both sides of the debate. As a Christian I'm not on board with homosexuality. What I mean by that is I could not be a lesbian even if I wanted to. I just can't see a woman having sex with another woman and a guy having sex with another guy. I guess being straight it does not appeal to me. What does not appeal to me may appeal to another person however.
But I also feel it is against Jesus's teachings to discriminate against anyone. I totally support the Matthew Shepard Act and repealing DADT. Homophobia is a sin as well.
The argument anti-gay marriage folks have is that gays are the threat to traditional marriage. I always thought adultery and divorce were. Hmmm.
I have worked with gays and lesbians in the workplace, never been a problem. The lesbians have never hit on me and the gay men never made a pass at other men.
In November Minnesota will be voting on a gay marriage amendment. I have not decided how I'm going to vote on that yet. I know a lot of people, including a gay hospital chaplain who are in favor of it. And I know a lot of people who are against it.

Motorcycle Insurance Prices
A lot of things can affect motorcycle insurance prices, including the type of motorcycle you drive; whether or not you take riders with you; and even whether you belong to a riding organization. All of these variables can make it tough for some people to decide which policy is best and to find the best premium price.
First, let’s talk about some of the things you should consider before shopping for motorcycle insurance:
Once you have determined the type of coverage you will need and use some of the tips listed above to trim your liability costs, it is time to begin looking for the best carrier and the best policy in the industry has to offer. When shopping around for motorcycle insurance, be sure to compare like polices, which include basically the same coverage items. Then ask about such important things as whether or not the company handles claims 24/7; what their average claim time is; and what filing a claim will do to your future premiums. Armed with this important information, you will be better able to choose the right policy and the right provider at the right price to handle you motorcycle insurance needs.
First, let’s talk about some of the things you should consider before shopping for motorcycle insurance:
Your Bike
The type of bike you drive will have the most to do with how much insurance will cost to cover it – and you. A small or midsize commuter motorcycle could cost as little as $200 a year to ensure; while a high-powered sport racer can cost five to ten times that much to insure. The reason is twofold: higher priced bikes cost more to repair in the event of an accident and the more power your bike has, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident in the first place. Those two things alone can send your premiums skyrocketing.The Coverage You Need
Another thing that can affect your bottom line when it comes to getting solid motorcycle insurance prices is the type of coverage you need. Not every policy is equal and thus not every price is the same (or even close). Some of the more important things to consider when determining exactly the coverage you will need are:- Who will be riding on the bike. If you plan on being a sole rider then your premium will be lower. Of course, if you do not buy passenger insurance coverage, then you will NEVER be able to take a passenger along for a ride. Still, for those who ride alone, getting rid of those passenger premiums can save you a few bucks.
- Whether or not you need comprehensive and collision insurance. Smaller, less expensive bikes can usually be fixed (or even replaced) much more cheaply when covering them with comprehensive collision insurance is. Compare the cost of the two and consider what the odds are that you will need to file a claim before dropping any coverage.
- If you have a loan on the bike. If you borrowed money to purchase that dream cycle, then you may be required to carry a full line of coverage. See your lender for details.
- What your state laws are. In some states every motorcycle must be insured with a standard package that includes passenger service; health coverage, and more. Your insurance agent should be able to easily outline the coverage you must carry by law and what coverage items you can waive.
Whether or Not You Belong to Motorcycle Club or Association
Believe it or not, belonging to a certified motorcycle group like Motorcycle Safety Foundation may qualify you for insurance discounts. Be sure to check with your carrier about nay safety course discounts or organizational discounts available in your area.Your Driving History
Another main premium component is your own driving history – and not just your cycle driving, but your complete driving history. The better you drive, the less you will pay for any vehicle insurance – including the coverage you need for your motorcycle. Keep claims at a minimum and don’t get any tickets for awhile and you can ask for a safe driver discount for both your motorcycle and standard car insurance policies.Your Credit History
Many insurers are now standing by the notion that those who are responsible for paying their bills on time are also more responsible when it comes to their driving and safety habits. Simply keeping your credit score high can help save you 10-20% on your insurance coverage.Once you have determined the type of coverage you will need and use some of the tips listed above to trim your liability costs, it is time to begin looking for the best carrier and the best policy in the industry has to offer. When shopping around for motorcycle insurance, be sure to compare like polices, which include basically the same coverage items.

Justin Bieber is a real role model...he got his high school diploma! Unlike Bristol
From Wonderwall
Despite his busy appearance and recording schedule, Justin Bieber managed to earn his high school diploma at the urging of his mother, he reveals.
"I just finished high school," the teen heartthrob told Britain's The Daily Telegraph. "I passed my test -- I'm free! It was hard doing school and work every day."
Bieber, 18, said he was driven to complete his education because it was very important to his mother. "That was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her," he tells the newspaper. "I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I've been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff. I like to be out there."
The teen sensation released his latest single, "Boyfriend," in March and his album "Believe," featuring Kanye West and Drake, is due out in June. "Yeah, what's so important about this album is showing I'm growing up but I'm also not losing my fans," he tells the Telegraph. "My fans are growing with me, and that's why I think it's very special."
Congrats to Justin. It's nice to see he has his priorities in order. He knows education is important even though he has enough money to last him a lifetime. Too bad other famous young people do not have that ambition, like this one:
Add investing to Bristol's list of failures
She was a failure at abstinence
She is a failure at Dancing
She is a failure at acting
She is a failure at getting an education
Now she is a failure at investing
From Maricopa.com
Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska governor and TV personality Sarah Palin, is no longer a homeowner in Maricopa.
The third-place finisher on the popular reality TV show “Dancing with the Stars” sold her nearly 4,000-square-foot house in Cobblestone Farms for $175,000, the Pinal County Recorder’s Office has confirmed.
The house in the 4,400 block of West Sedona Trail was sold to Michael and Carrie Lipp on April 10. Calls to Michael Lipp were not immediately returned.
Nate Martinez, the real estate agent who closed the sale, is with Remax in Glendale. His office said the Lipps moved into the house shortly after it was sold.
The 3,929-square-foot home has five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and a three-car garage. Palin bought the house from Mike and Cindy Smith, farmers from Minot, N.D., in December 2010 for $172,000.
Mayor Anthony Smith said while he never met Bristol, he did meet her parents at an event in Phoenix.
Smith recalled that Palin had moved to Maricopa shortly after her time on “Dancing with Stars,” so she had some celebrity status. Sarah Palin may have done some of her national talk shows from Maricopa during that time, he said.
“It was a curious interest and there were some sightings of Bristol in Maricopa,” he said. “If I happened to bump into her that would be fine, but I never went out of my way to meet her. I figured she just wanted to live her life just like anybody else in Maricopa.”
A 2,112-square-foot, three bedroom, two bathroom house on the same block as Palin’s former house recently sold for $148,000, according to REALTOR.com, the official website of the National Association of Realtors.
Suzie Rotter, broker with Clear Skies Realty in Maricopa, said the new homeowners made a good buy because home prices in Maricopa are going up, and anything less than $50 a square foot is a good deal. The Palin house sold for $45 a square foot.
Soon after buying her Maricopa home, Palin gave a tour to the television show “E!”
In June, Palin moved out of Maricopa and put the house up for rent. That same month, she published a tell-all memoir, “Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far,” in which she revealed her true feelings about Levi Johnston, her former boyfriend and father of her son Tripp, and took jabs at Sen. John McCain and his family.
Sarah Palin was McCain’s vice presidential running mate in 2008.
It looks like she made about $3,000 profit but when you take out the realtor fees she probably ended up in the hole. Way to go Bristol! Obviously math is not your strong suit, but what can I expect from a high school dropout.
Me thinks she only bought the house to hide her DWTS baby and for another reason I will talk about in tomorrow's post. Stay tuned.

You are who you roll with and Sarah Palin rolls with Ted Nugent
l
“I feel sorry for liberals who can be that brain-dead to take a clear statement of fear on my part and turn it into a threat on somebody else,” Nugent told Glor. “I don’t think their [Secret Service] concern was that I threatened someone, I think their concern is that someone claimed I threatened someone. In fact, I got to tell you, and I don’t mean to put any professionals on the spot, but -- and I don’t have the greatest hearing in the world -- but I thought I heard something to the point of, ‘I didn’t think so.’”
Nugent described his “35-40 minute” meeting with the government officials in Oklahoma as “adorable,” and said he told the officials they were “responding to complete idiots,” and that “you should be investigating them.”
Moments later, Glor talked briefly with Nugent about his spread in the April headlines, referring to it as “one of the more interesting months you’ve ever had,” though Nugent felt otherwise. The reporter further probed the Republican activist about his support of the Romney campaign, whether or not they disproved of his outspoken candor when it came to the commander in chief, and how they will meet their requisites to obtain the moderate vote.
Here’s where Nugent lost it.
“You are many things, you are not moderate,” Glor pointed out.
After a defensive aside related to his charity work, Nugent’s temper rose and he began to yell at the reporter. “I’m an extremely loving, passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I’m a damn nice guy. And if you can find a screening process more powerful than that I’ll [BLEEP], [BLEEP], [BLEEP], [BLEEP].”
And so, it seems, Nugent’s controversial media blitz spills into May. The rock star’s first return to the limelight came on April 17, when he said at a NRA convention he’d be “dead or in jail” if Obama was reelected, later referring to himself as a ‘black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally.” On April 21, the military canceled his performance at its post in Fort Knox, Ky., citing his anti-Obama comments as justification, and the following week he reportedly signed a plea deal after federal prosecutors brought him to court for illegally shooting a bear on his hunting show.
A momentary pause ensued before Nugent directed his focus off-screen, “Or [BLEEP][BLEEP][BLEEP] -- How’s that sound?”
Noted Glor, this last statement was aimed at a female CBS news producer off camera. TMZ does the heavy lifting on sorting out what was apparently behind the bleeps.
Ted blames kidney stones for his mood. I've had kidney stones and mine were so painful I couldn't talk. I was bawling.
This is also the same Ted Nugent who slept with underage girls, shit in his pants for a week to get a military deferment, three out of wedlock kids by two women, was court-ordered to pay child support, named one of his sons after a gun ala Levi (Rocco Winchester Nugent). No wonder Sarah loves him.
Ted has also made threats againt President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Sarah also advocated assassinating Democratic lawmakers with her crosshairs map:
The only difference between them is Sarah almost succeeded in getting Gabby Giffords killed, and six people died because of it.

Where are YOUR parents? It's like Palin haters were all raised by wolves. What would they say about your blog behavior? Would they condone personal attacks that consist of outright slander?
So sad for you. In the words of Bristol, "I can take it, but I just hope no one else has to experience hateful attacks."

Right now it is available for pre-order on Amazon if you feel like throwing your money down the drain.
I don't know what Chuckie Jr would have to write about Sarah but I'm sure Chuckie Sr will fill us with anecdotes like how he taught her how to walk around the house naked, how he told her to fake a finger injury to get out of band practice, and an eyewitness account of Trig popping out of her chocha.
Combining the appeal of Sarah Palin's bestselling book, Going Rogue, with the flavor of the hugely successful TV show "Sarah Palin's Alaska," here are intimate stories from Sarah's life along with a celebration of growing up in and sharing all that Alaska means to Sarah and her family.
Intimate stories? Is Sr. going to talk about his sexual encounters with her? Ewww!

Happy Birthday Levi Johnston!
Hope you got to spend your birthday with Tripp, provided you did not sign away your parental rights or Bristol actually decided not to be a bitch and let you see him.
Speaking of Levi, he and Sunny have decided to name their little girl Breeze Barretta Johnston.
Levi Johnston's second child will be a girl named Breeze Beretta, his pregnant girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, told Inside Edition in an interview to air Wednesday. Beretta is the name of an Italian firearms manufacturer, and Oglesby confirmed that the child will be named after a gun.
She also talked about the accidental nature of the pregnancy.
"We were out at the cabin for like, four days, and forgot the birth control," she said.
Johnston told Inside Edition that he plans on doing things differently with Oglesby than he did with Bristol Palin, the mother of their son, Tripp.
"I'm actually in love...not doing it just because we had a kid together," he said.
Bristol Palin has been vocal in criticizing Johnston for being an absent father. She recently told In Touch she is "upset" he is having another child already, and that she worries Tripp could be teased at school.
"I don’t want him to go to elementary school with 10 half-siblings," she said. "That would really affect him."
I'm actually in love...not doing it just because we had a kid together
Ouch, that has to hurt Bristol in a big way! But what hurts Bristol is good for the rest of us.
Breeze Berretta. I like Breeze but why middle name your child after a gun manufacturer? Then again one of Tripp's middle names is Easton which has to do with Hockey Sticks. Is that an Alaskan thing or just a redneck hillbilly thing, naming your kids after manufacturers, places or objects, like Bristol, Piper, and Track. At least Breeze will have only one middle name. And her maternal grandfather doesn't have any prostitutes that we know of.
Speaking of Levi, he and Sunny have decided to name their little girl Breeze Barretta Johnston.
Levi Johnston's second child will be a girl named Breeze Beretta, his pregnant girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, told Inside Edition in an interview to air Wednesday. Beretta is the name of an Italian firearms manufacturer, and Oglesby confirmed that the child will be named after a gun.
She also talked about the accidental nature of the pregnancy.
"We were out at the cabin for like, four days, and forgot the birth control," she said.

Todd hooked David Chaney up (pun intended) with hookers
From Malia Litman's blog
Shailey Tripp pled “no contest” to the charge of running a house of prostitution in Anchorage.Ms. Tripp has written a book disclosing graphic details of her business relationship with Todd Palin as her pimp, complete with a description of Todd’s unusual anatomy.
The secret service agent assigned to guard Sarah Palin during the 2008 campaign was David Chaney.
David Chaney has resigned from the Secret Service as a result of his involvement with prostitutes in Columbia. Shailey Tripp has given me permission to report to you today that David Chaney was referred to her by Todd Palin for sexual services, which she DID provide. It seems that there is a culture, at least among some agents, of use and abuse of women. In an effort to make this information known to people within the Secret Service, I contacted Paula Reid, both yesterday and today, the office in D.C. in charge of the Colombia investigation both yesterday and today, and was ultimately referred to the Secret Service Office in Dallas. Agent Holloway in Dallas indicated he would look into the complaint. When I didn’t hear back from him, I contacted him again today and he indicated he would contact me within the next two hours. After three hours passed I called Agent Holloway back, and he then referred me to his supervisor, Agent Peek. Agent Peek advised me that unless I had audio or video tape of the encounter he would not be interested.
When I explained that I did not have either, but had a witness statement, he hung-up the phone on me. It was as if he simply wanted confirmation that there would be no recording featured on the news that he would have to explain. There was no indication of an interest in uncovering the truth about a culture of corruption within the Secret Service.
While testifying before a Senate Judiciary Committee, Janet Napolitano said that she felt the Colombia incident was an “isolated case.”
She said the agency’s office of professional responsibility had never received previous complaints in the past 2 ½ years. “If the misconduct is part of a pattern, Napolitano added, “That would be a surprise to me.”
Surprise! If anyone bothered to talk to Shailey Tripp, she would confirm that Todd Palin and David Chaney had been hanging out with Hookers. I have filed a complaint with the office of Homeland Security so the period of being “complaint free” has just ended. Please help me bring media focus to this story. Shailey Tripp has done her part by disclosing this painful part of her life, and it is our turn to demand that somebody take notice. It is interesting that the Secret Service agent who caused this scandal to come to light refused to pay the woman who provided the sexual services requested, and according to Shailey Tripp’s book, Todd Palin stopped paying her for services provided to him. It appears there is no honor among thieves. We might expect Palin’s attorney to ask the Secret Service to issue a press release to the National Enquirer, indicating that there is not one “scintilla” of evidence, in their possession, that they have reviewed, implicating David Chaney in the scandal involving Todd Palin or Shailey Tripp. If they refuse to take the statement of Shailey Tripp, Todd Palin, or David Chaney, there would be no evidence to review.
Thank you for keeping up on this Malia. Much appreciated!
