FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog — Sarah Palin at the RGA Conference, November 13, 2008 How much did Mitt Romney pay Jonathan Martin to say this was an awkward press conference? Flap swears as the MSM is in the tank for Obama, Martin and Politico is in the tank for Mitt Romney. Sarah Palin was ...

There has been palpable tension among some GOP governors gathered in ...

Off and Running
N/A — Sarah Palin is off and running for 2012 Or maybe she is just off.  Or maybe she is running from this.  Who cares? Is twelve minutes with Sarah Palin ten minutes too much?

Bonus Quote of the Day
