Stories like this lead to my continued distaste toward Sarah Palin.

FYI, Stein is the former mayor of the town Palin was also mayor of.

"Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

Seriously? This woman wanted to disregard the first amendment to appease "some voters" who were clutching their pearls over books with dirty, dirty words? I guess "put down the book and read something else," isn't an option in Alaska.

I suggest everyone go out and buy Arthur Nersesian's The Fuck-Up while you can. If Palin becomes our vice president that book's going to become the newest ingredient added to DuraFlame.

My name; Tina Fey's look; that Northwestern accent that Frances McDormand made so endearing. All of it's being shat upon by Sarah Palin. HATE.

McCain is really gunning for those still-bitter Hillary supporters isn't he? Pandering to them in ads, and now he's thrown a woman on his ticket. A woman who, by the way, has even less experience than Barack Obama. Way to throw out your main argument against your opponent, buddy.

I'm waiting on his line of pant suits.

Officials say Clinton will concede delegate race to Obama

By BETH FOUHY

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.

The former first lady will stop short of formally suspending or ending her race in her speech in New York City. She will pledge to continue to speak out on issues like health care. But for all intents and purposes, the two senior officials said, the campaign is over.

(CNN) -- Despite Hillary Clinton's landslide victory in Kentucky, Barack Obama has won a majority of pledged delegates in the race for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton won Kentucky by more than 30 points, but Obama's share of the state's 51 delegates was enough put him over the threshold, according to CNN estimates.

Obama's top strategist, David Axelrod, said this was an "important milestone," but not the end of the trail.
