As the media swarms over Sarah Palin’s emails has anyone thought to ask why the personal information of those who wrote emails critical of Palin was not redacted? Some very ugly things are going to come out of these emails and not against Sarah Palin. Frankly I’m very disturbed by her legal team’s choices in what I’m reading. Sarah Palin and her legal team spent two and half years combing these emails for pages they wanted to withhold and for redactions to protect the privacy of some people.

One play had to be called by (wideout) Freddie Mitchell because Donovan was mumbling because he was almost puking." Offensive lineman Jon Runyan also echoed Fraley's comments in the same interview aired on two local radio stations on Tuesday after the Comcast report. McNabb...

Okay. I'm ticked. ABC News is breaking into the golf tournament to have a bunch of doctors crow and brag about a routine qaud bypass for mr slick. Listening to this reminds me of reports of how the Moscow radio would be interrupted w/ military music to give 'announcements'. Only, this guy is bright eyed and bushy tailed! Oh, for pete's sake, now they are appluading and doing a Q and A. I'm about to barf. It is an OVERT slap at Republicans (who tend to like golf ... a LOT). But fine. I guess its just punishment for the...
