In a very short time America is going to be sick of hearing the name Palin.

Was sick of hearing Obama months ago. Wretch daily....

Palin's Glasses Bring Sexy Back

When Sarah Palin gave her speech at the Republican National Convention, all eyes were not only on her, but her glasses as well.

By KTRH's Becky Chosed

Monday, September 8, 2008

While most critics called Palin's speech at the RNC a home run, others are saying her glasses stole the show.

"She won the hearts of America with certainly those glasses she had on," Editor in Chief of 20/20, a magazine about glasses, James Spina said. "She certainly made her stance as someone who wears eyewear because it's iconic to her look."

People Who Make Glasses Look Good

The now sought-after Palin frames will cost you around $375, excluding the lenses.

"As you may have noticed they were not invisible on her. She's in the rimless style that has a lot of attention going to the temples, they're jewel-like cut in the lenses, and a pretty dramatic shape," Spina said.

And Palin's not the only one sporting sexy glasses says Spina, "More and more people are treating their glasses like an accessory."

Spina says not only are glasses trendy, but sexy too, "It is sexy, it's a way to strongly identify your own personality. And guys look great in them and women look beautiful in them."

Call it Moose ex Machina.

Say whatever you will ... but I'm stealing this line!!

[rdax]

I made it this far:

Four years after Americans looked at the first term of the worst president in modern history and decided they liked what they saw well enough to sign up for four more years

Does 1976 count as modern?

How about 1992?

Or does "modern" only mean current century?

OK, now I’m a racist AND a masochist—seeking—dominatrix??

Methinks he doth type with one hand.

The RATS are in panic mode. McCain is up 10 for likely voters in todays Gallop poll.

They are in meltdown over at the DUck pen.

[princess leah]

Wow - where to begin to separate the trash that forms THIS opinion piece? To talk about a political figure in terms of “take a look at her rack?” If they had said that about Hillary they’d have been fired and their whole group taken out by Clintonistas...Just plain old common decency for anyone doesn’t exist amongst these bottom feeders.

[hinckley buzzard]

Post-convention polls are highly unreliable.

Actually they are quite reliable. But they have only limited predictive validity. Not that I expect this randy sixteen year old highschool newspaper writer to know the difference.

I don’t want to smell his keyboard after he wrote that article.

[Texas Eagle]

Sarah Palin has thrown a big-time scare into Democrats.

Heh, heh. Amen, Bro.

Does anyone know how to make one of those Staples' style "Easy buttons" but with the word "Panic" on it?

If so, that would be a perfect logo for the left-wing media.

[Zero Sum]

Sarah Palin has thrown a big-time scare into Democrats.

Including, apparently, the author of this article.

Consider the source:

Salon.com, part of Salon Media Group (OTCBB: SLNM), often just called Salon, is an online magazine, with content updated each weekday. The politics of the United States is its major focus, but it covers a range of issues. Reviews and articles about music, books and films are also a prominent feature of the site. Salon’s headquarters are located west of downtown San Francisco, California. Its current editor-in-chief is Joan Walsh.

Content and coverage
Salon magazine covers a variety of topics. American politics is a major focus. It has reviews and articles about music, books, and films. It also has articles about “modern life”, including relationships, friendships and sex. It covers technology, with a particular focus on the free software/open source movement.

Salon has always been an interactive site to some degree. The “salon” concept is played out in two discussion board communities open exclusively to online subscribers, Salon Table Talk and The WELL, and since 2005, comments on editorial stories open to all readers.

Responding to the question “how far do you go with the tabloid sensibility to get readers?”, former Salon.com editor-in-chief David Talbot said:

Is Salon more tabloid-like? Yeah, we’ve made no secret of that. I’ve said all along that our formula here is that we’re a smart tabloid. If by tabloid what you mean is you’re trying to reach a popular audience, trying to write topics that are viscerally important to a readership, whether it’s the story about the mother in Houston who drowned her five children or the story on the missing intern in Washington, Chandra Levy.[1]

[edit] History
Salon was first published in 1995.

In April 1999, Salon purchased the virtual community, The WELL. On June 22, 1999, Salon.com made an initial public offering on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

On April 25, 2001, Salon launched Salon Premium, a pay-to-view (online) content subscription. Salon Premium signed over 130,000 subscribers and staved off discontinuation of services.

On November 13, 2002, the company announced it had accumulated cash and non-cash losses of $80 million. By February 2003 it was having difficulty paying its rent, and made an appeal for donations to keep the company running.

On October 9, 2003, Michael O’Donnell, the chief executive and president of Salon Media Group, said he was leaving the company after seven years because it was “time for a change.” When he left, Salon.com had accrued $83.6 million in losses since its inception, and its stock traded for 5¢ on the OTC Bulletin Board. David Talbot, Salon’s chairman and editor-in-chief at the time, became the new chief executive. Elizabeth “Betsy” Hambrecht, then Salon’s chief financial officer, became the president.

Their financial history is *interesting*

First, she’s too much of a Christian prude. Now they’re comparing her to a deviant sex fiend?

Chesterton is laughing his butt off in heaven...

[AlaskaErik]

she guns down wolves from the air

A blatant lie. She supports aerial predator control by the Dept of Fish and Game, as do most Alaskans. Another typical leftist distortion.
