Well what would you know, the most hated Republican women (by the democrats of course) has just been voted as the most desirable celebrity neighbor. According to Zillow.com Sarah Palin was the most desirable celebrity closely followed by Oprah Winfrey and Michael Phelps.
As for those who attract too much attention, they really do too well on the charts. Least among those was Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, David and Victoria Beckham, Rosie O’Donnell and surprisingly Joe the Plumber.
I guess people dig soccer mom celebrities. Well that’s no surprise, Mrs. Palin is the only reason why McCain even had a chance. I just can happen to wonder where Obama would place on the list though.

![barack-haircut-150x150 Obamania [part 1]](http://nortonrelease.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/barack-haircut.jpg "Barack Obama Haircut")
Since we have to live through four years of this guy I might as well start a series about him. This being the first episode I’d like to cover his barber Zariff who ha shot to instant fame thanks to Obama. People have begun to treat his barber salon like a tourist attraction.
They not only want to sit in the chair that Obama gets his hair cuts in, they want the “Obama cut” also. Am I the only one who thinks this is going a little too far? Maybe so…

To be honest with you the only reason why I did not extend my vacation in the Bahamas has to do with the fact of the election. And what is more bizarre is that my flight from Charlotte NC was delayed. So as we were waiting in line to take off (20′th in line to be exact) I just happened to spot a plane that looked quite familiar and what do you know it was Barack Obama’s plane.
For all of you who actually think I hate Obama, let me clarify. I like the guy. Obama is a very likable person. The only thing I don’t like about him are some of his political policies. So if you think I hate him than no you’re wrong. And as I said before may the best man win.

These are two funny stories. The first involves a man who parked a trailer of shit outside a Democratic campaign office. His actual words:
I think Obama’s plan is just one big old poop sandwich and we’re all going to have to take a bite
Needless to say it has outraged Democrats who are outraged at the idea of a pile of dung across the street which has caused drivers to slow down and take pictures of the spectacle. But accord to 38-year-old Terry Reed he has no intentions of removing it until after election day.
My only regret is that I didn’t do something sooner
The second case involves a college professor who resigned after admitting he removed McCain signs from along the road.
Phil Busse left his temporary post at St. Olaf College after the school learned of his Oct. 30 posting, “Confessions of a Lawn Sign Stealer,” in which the visiting professor admitted to snatching signs from Highway 19 in southeast Minnesota, the Northfield News reported Monday.
And that about wraps it up for this short episode. If you haven’t already done it, need I say it again? Get off your lazy ass and vote. I don’t care who it is you vote for.

It never seems to amaze me how no one in Hollywood can actually think for themselves. If you happen to have a friend (who had a brain to begin with) and went to Hollywood (very unlikely) you’re probably pretty aware of what I am about to say. Its not that the majority of those who live in LA are democrat loving morons (well maybe they are), its that most of the liberal ones are the most vocal while the companies who own these studios are generally not that far left.
What is worse is how indoctrinated the young Hollywood minds can be. Below you will find Hayden Panettiere (actress from Hero’s TV series) along with Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) and a few other young Hollywood actors really show how scared we should be about our young kids looking up to these “role models.”
I don’t care if you are democrat or republican, you should not sit easy if these are your kids role models.

Democrat journalist Orson Scott Card
Finally someone got it right. Orson Scott Card has finally said something that every major news network (with the exception of Fox) was not willing to say. You will find the letter below.
This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration.
It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans. …
This was completely foreseeable and in fact many people did foresee it. One political party, in Congress and in the executive branch, tried repeatedly to tighten up the rules. The other party blocked every such attempt and tried to loosen them.
Furthermore, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were making political contributions to the very members of Congress who were allowing them to make irresponsible loans. (Though why quasi-federal agencies were allowed to do so baffles me. It’s as if the Pentagon were allowed to contribute to the political campaigns of Congressmen who support increasing their budget.)
Isn’t there a story here? Doesn’t journalism require that you who produce our daily paper tell the truth about who brought us to a position where the only way to keep confidence in our economy was a $700 billion bailout? Aren’t you supposed to follow the money and see which politicians were benefiting personally from the deregulation of mortgage lending?
I have no doubt that if these facts had pointed to the Republican Party or to John McCain as the guilty parties, you would be treating it as a vast scandal. “Housing-gate,” no doubt. Or “Fannie-gate.”
Instead, it was Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, both Democrats, who denied that there were any problems, who refused Bush administration requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and who were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the minute they failed. …
Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!
Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That’s what you claim you do, when you accept people’s money to buy or subscribe to your paper.
But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie — that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad — even bad weather — on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them to.
If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on telling the truth — even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite candidate.

Welcome to part six in our popular series that covers media and political bias. Last episode we covered the big hoopla the media made when they found out that Joe the Plumber’s real name is Samuel. This episode also has to deal with Joe the Plumber and Barack Obama.
The news media sees it fit to dig up the back taxes of Joe the Plumber. Yet Barack Obama has admitted to using illicit drugs. Yet the media won’t ask him where these drugs were bought or if he ever sold them? On the other hand they tried to destroy Bush in 2004 over a drunk driving record that was from his teenage days.
I say this every time, but only because it is worth asking. Is it just me or am I sensing some extreme bias here?

Rush Limbaugh has been hammered by the media for daring to say that Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama was based on race and deep down inside Colin Powell is nothing but a liberal in Republican disguise. Well I’m sorry to break it to you but if you have not already noticed this than you must not have been paying attention to the news. Why else would Bush have to relieve him of his duties back in ‘04?
Not only that but he is pro-abortion, pro-affirmative action and not to mention his lunatic ideas about having talks with known terrorists. Not only that but he claims that his main reason for his Barack Obama endorsement is because Sarah Palin is not qualified to take over if McCain should pay the ultimate price. Well face it Mr. Powell, Barack Obama has just as much experience on foreign policy as Palin. And unlike Barack Obama who could become the most powerful man in the world in a few days Palin will not.
I was going to make this number 6 in our “double standard” series but I guess this goes into the whole racial issue which is a different class by itself.

And I thought that Sarah Palin fever had died down. Turns out that when Sarah Palin made her guest appearance on SNL it was the highest ratings and viewership the show had gotten in the last 14 years. The last time the show had gotten such good ratings (10.7) was March 12, 1994 and the host was Nancy Kerrigan.
Just in case you want to see the show for yourself you can view it below. BTW Tina Fey makes a guest appearance in the show.

This is the fifth part in our long running series about media and political bias. Today our focus turns to Obama and Joe the Plumber. The media keeps hammering at Joe Wurzelbacher. Turns out that his name is actually Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, and would you know that the media keeps hammering him for not using his “real name.” There are some people who feel comfortable using their middle name as their first name (I’m was once such a person).
So how does Obama tie into this? If Joe is at fault for not stating that his first name is really Samuel than why can Obama get away with not using his middle name which is Hussein? Not only that but anyone who dares to utter Obama’s middle name is instantly branded as a racist.
