Just when you thought America’s favorite hockey mom/”mama grizzly” was gone for good, she is now riding the recent wave of Palin-centric media caused by her daughter giving birth.  Now Sarah Palin is apparently the champion of the People.  She is accusing the media of not being so harsh on Caroline Kennedy and her bid for New York Senate seat due to her social class.  That’s right, the media was terrible to Palin because of her working class roots, not the stupid things she did or say.  The media clamped down on her because she worked her way through life to her position, not because of her crazy right-wing views.   Palin forgets that she was at the center of national politics, not state politics.  There is a big difference when someone is running for Vice-President vs. Senator.  Does the media in South Dakota really care who is going to be elected to a New York Senate seat?  Probably not, but they probably care a little more who is going to be elected Vice-President as it will directly effect them.

What is Israel’s real goal of their invasion of Gaza?  Some see it as a show of power similar to the 1991 Persian Gulf War and Russia’s war with Georgia last year.  After the 2006 war with Lebanon, Israel did not appear to be the undefeatable force that they thought they were and now they are out prove a point.  Others see this invasion as the beginning to a larger war with Iran as much of the monetary support that goes to Palestine comes from Iran.  Or there is always the simple answer, the people in power in Israel as crazy and have no qualms about killing innocent civilians or the members  their own conscripted army.
