Our Sarah: Made in Alaska paints an intimate portrait of Alaskas first female governor. Chuck Heath Sr. and Chuck Heath Jr. willautograph copies of the book at noon Monday at a Barnes & Noble to promote the release. According to the Orlando Sentine l , the book portrays a hard working Palin, who had a penchant for faith, sports, and hunting. I tried to think of some knuckleheaded thing she did and couldnt, said Heath Sr., 74. At church they asked us why our kids turned out fairly decently and we said No. 1 is faith that got them through a lot and No. 2 would be sports. A post by Palin herself, on Palin4America , Sarah Palins website, described the book as well. A new book by my father and brother (Chuck Heath and Chuck Heath, Jr.) will be out on September 25. The book chronicles our familys experiences

Sarah Palin Weight Loss 2012 Sarah Palin Diet Program - Isn't amazing how all of the celebrities you see have a celebrity diet plan for weight loss to maintain their weight. Some of them are shapely and healthy looking, and look good on camera. Others look like they haven't eaten in weeks, like they just got back from the famine in Ethiopia for a few weeks. Like they had been starving themselves to lose weight, and that is probably what they have been doing. You see it in all the tabloids, this person lost 100 pounds again, this one gained 100 pounds, and then lost 150 pounds. Some are not as dramatic; this one lost 40 pounds and is a television spokesperson, because the previous celebrity diet spokesperson gained the weight back. The fact is they may be starving themselves to lose weight, fasting like they are going through a famine.

Posted: September 29, 2012 Juneau, Alaska A lawsuit against former Alaska governor Sarah Palin was struck down on Thursday by a federal judge. The suit, brought against Palin by activist Chip Thoma, alleged that the politician had attempted to silence Thoma when he complained about traffic around the governors mansion in 2009. In throwing out the lawsuit, U.S District Judge Timothy Burgess ruled that Thoma had failed to produce sufficient evidence to support his claims. Palins request for summary judgment was granted, and her attorney, John Tiemessen, said that the case should now be dismissed, as no valid claims stand. Thoma had sued Palin for at least $100,000. He had claimed that the politician had attempted to embarrass, discredit and silence him after his complaints about tour bus traffic around Palins Alaska mansion in the months following her failed 2008 vice presidential bid. Thomas initial complaints were made in 2009, when he reported the traffic disturbances to a state a

By trying to get some votes, of course!

She was 19 when she did this last time. Here shes 21 now, so yeah, shes certainly matured and more experienced.

These are all champions that shes competing against, said Sarah, who hopes to attend the show each week. She was 19 when she did this last time.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) A federal judge on Thursday struck down claims in a lawsuit alleging that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin acted to silence an activist who complained about traffic around the governor's mansion in 2009. U.S District Judge Timothy Burgess granted Palin's request for summary judgment, finding that activist Chip Thoma failed to provide the evidence necessary to support his claims. Palin's attorney, John Tiemessen , said the ruling means that, as a matter of law, no valid claims stand, and it should lead to dismissal of the case. Thoma sued for at least $100,000, claiming that Palin, while governor, undertook an effort to punish, embarrass, discredit and silence him after he complained about tour bus traffic around the mansion following her failed 2008 vice presidential bid. Thoma, in his lawsuit, said he complained about the traffic in 2009 to a state agency and made signs and fliers about the traffic situation that he posted and handed out. He alleged

Julianne Moore was particularly happy with her Emmy win Sunday night. The actress took home the trophy for best actress in a miniseries for her portrayal of Sarah Palin in HBO's "Game Change," the story of the 2008 Republican presidential campaign. "Wow, I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down," said Moore with a big grin. Moore went on to thank the hair and makeup artists "who transformed me physically every day for two hours" and the dialect coach "who was so patient with me." Backstage, reports USA TODAY's Marco della Cava, Moore was asked whether she was anticipating any response from Palin for her Emmy win. "I really don't know," said Moore. "It's not about Sarah but about our political process. In an election year it's all about how we pick our leaders, which is what made it interesting to do this movie." She also said she regrets not mentioning two other people in her accept

In the same breath, the Examiner reports that Palin also urged Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to go rogue. Palin, it would seem, has quite a few theories on how the country and the Republican candidates should be handling their respective business. In order to deliver the truth to the masses, Palin feels that Republicans should effectively bypass the lamestream media and deliver the political gospel to the masses. With so much at stake in this election, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan should go rogue and not hold back from telling the American people the true state of our economy and national security, Palin said.

Sarah Palin advised Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan Saturday to "go rogue" and give the country a "come to Jesus moment." "With so much at stake in this election, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan should 'go rogue' and not hold back from telling the American people the true state of our economy and national security.

A custody case between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston has been closed, and an attorney says the two likely will work out any future differences regarding their 3-year-old son on their own. Alaska court records show the case involving Sarah Palin's grandson Tripp was closed this month after a lack of activity. Johnston attorney Rex Butler said Monday the best way to interpret the development is that the parties likely will resolve any problems themselves. An attorney for Bristol Palin didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Bristol Palin and Johnston initially battled over custody. But they agreed in 2010 that Bristol would have primary physical custody and the two would share legal custody, subject to Bristol's resolution if they couldn't agree, then-Palin family attorney Thomas Van Flein, said at that time.

Democrats from Hartford to Washington, D.C., are trying to sell Connecticut voters on the premise that Linda McMahon is cut from the same ideological cloth as former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and is a tea party favorite. Among them is U.S. Rep.

"Linda McMahon is a tea party, Sarah Palin-endorsed Republican," Murphy spokesman Ben Marter told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers Tuesday. Marter was responding to a story about McMahon's political contributions to fellow Republicans such as GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney ; House Speaker John Boehner , R! -Ohio; a nd Sen.

Drew Magary View Profile Email Twitter RSS The reviews of Mitt Romney's reaction to the Libya crisis this week were uniformly damning. But Donald Trump, little orange scamp that he is, knows solid trolling material when he sees it. Which is why he just offered up the above tweet, which accuses the President of being friends with terrorists. Because at this point, why not? Your man Romney is getting his ass kicked in the polls, so why not lay all your cards out on the table and accuse the President of virtually everything possible? Terrorism. Murder. Incest. Once you've crossed the line into blatant slander, you may as well go all the way. Now that the GOP has pretty much disowned Trump, he's found that he must go out of his way in order to keep himself in the news. That's how you end up with a tweet as cynical as the one above. It's a blatant troll move, one designed specifically to piss you off and lure us Gawker folk into posting it so that you can say all sorts o
