This just in, from a friend who put “holy mary mother of god” in the subject line of her email about Levi Johnston’s tell-all coming out in the October Vanity Fair. It is pretty juicy, according to an LA Times blog. I have my own thoughts about Sarah Palin, which I expressed last year (was […]
Without a doubt, I pulled the shortest straw yesterday — the worst place to be in America last night was the Arizona Biltmore.
