This video from DailyKos TV shows Sarah being all about the TARP funding in 2008, compared to now.
This next video is pretty sweet. It shows Palin reading cheat notes off her hand for the Q&A at the Teaparty Convention.

Umar Abdulmutallab (the Christmas Underpants Bomber) is giving the FBI valuable and actionable intelligence, by giving him right to due-process and enlisting the help of his family.

But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain.
