Sarah Palin: Let’s Talk Hair
SARAH Palin Watch: Anorak’s look at Sarah Palin in the news…
“Palin wants it to look as if she’s too busy to spend time on her hair, but this style would take a good hour to do at home,” says Brendan Fowles at Daniel Galvin who “barracuda’d me” for the princely sum of £75.
The hair, or the pelt, as Sarah Palin calls it…
“She’s got very good hair but you need to put curlers in the whole head first, to get the volume, tie it tightly into a pony-tail and then pin down the bits at the back so that they look artfully tousled. The look is feminine without being feminine but quite repressed, and because of that oddly sexy.” – Celia Waldon, Tabloid Telegraph

What the tabloid columnists are saying about Sarah Palin
FERGUS SHANAHAN (The Sun): “Why, why, why can’t WE have Sarah Palin.”
Palin wants to be vice president. The UK is not a Republic. But if you want a revolution, you might get a Palin. Instead, you’ll have to make do with huntin’, shootin’, fur wearin’, sportin’ right-wing Princess Anne…

The Sarah Palin Extra Maritial Affair Denial
THE National Enquirer says: “SARAH PALIN’S DARK SECRETS – Affair that nearly ruined her career”.
Says the McCain camp:
“The smearing of the Palin family must end. The allegations contained on the cover of the National Enquirer insinuating that Gov. Palin had an extramarital affair are categorically false. It is a vicious lie,” said McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt.
“The efforts of the media and tabloids to destroy this fine and accomplished public servant are a disgrace. The American people will reject it…”
“Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin look forward to discussing the issues that Americans care about, fixing broken government, creating jobs, making our country energy independent and securing the peace for the next generation by bringing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to a victorious end,” said Schmidt.
“Legal action will be considered with regard to this disgraceful smear.”
Says he:
The National Enquirer is on a roll.
From its John Edwards’ story to this cover featuring Sarah Palin’s dark secrets, I can guarantee that media outlets around the country will read every word of this story.
And you thought it was all trash…
Says TB:
In the end, the tabloid media are doing their job, and the “mainstream media” are doing theirs’, having their cake and eating it by holding their noses while reporting on the tabloid reportage. And yeah, McCain’s group will sue, just like Eddie Murphy sued– make a big noise announcing it before quietly withdrawing the action down the road…
Tis the way…

Inside Sarah Palin’s Church (Video)
Jason Pettus says of the view inside Sarah Palin’s church:
This is reportedly video footage from the Pentecostal church Sarah Palin belongs to, clearly showing dozens of members of the congregation speaking in tongues and wandering zombie-like through the aisles, also occasionally thrashing on the floor in front of the pulpit. I’ve seen barely anyone online mention this video so far, or even Palin’s connection in general to this church (including a pastor who preaches that God put George W. Bush into office), so thought I’d bring it to your attention.
Maybe thery’re speakin’ Alaskan..?

WHEN Obamania meets Failin Palin, you get Jann Wenner in Rolling Stone:
The tides of history are rising higher and faster these days. Read them right and ride them, or be crushed. And then along comes Barack Obama, with the kinds of gifts that appear in politics but once every few generations.
He’s a veritable Canute.

So You Think You Know What Plastic Is
FLYDE and Wyre councils are doing for the British film industry what Guy Ritchie is doing for the British film industry.
Here’s a video instructing locals, in an entertaining and informative manner, how to use their bins. Open the lid and pop the rubbish inside..? Oh, no, gentle resident, this is high tech bin use.
So you think you know what cardboard is? When is plastic not plastic? Why, when it’s shaped like a bottle.
When is metal a can or a tin? Think you know? You know nothing…

The BBC Underdoes Sarah Palin
SARAH Palin on the BBC, which is part of the media:
THE PAIN FOR PALIN. Sarah Palin(Did I mention she has a pregnant unmarried 17 year old daughter?) has given a wonderful speech at the RNC and the BBC are most unhappy about it. I caught James Naughtie being interviewed about it at 6.35am this morning on Today and all he could observe was that by Palin (Did I mention she has a pregnant unmarried 17 year old daughter?) going for Obama – the Chosen One – she now left herself open to attack by Obama. Seriously!! As if the orchestrated and frenzied attacks on Sarah Palin and her famly by the Dem attack dogs and their media chattels since last Friday were just political foreplay.
One thing about Palin – Obama’s almost disappeared…

Tony Blair Cops Storm In Starbucks
“BLAIR COP LEAVES GUN IN LOO AT STARBUCKS.”
So says the Sun’s front-page screamers. And we ask: What’s a Blair cop, and how does it differ from Christian soldier, if in any way? And should we be worried that Blair cops have guns?
And do the Blair cops plan to storm Starbucks, that sink of watery coffee and tasteless cakes, thereby reconquering the British high street with single shot, a double shot and a triple shot?

Sarah Palin: John McCain Endorses Levi Johnston
SARAH Palin Watch: Anorak’s look at Sarah Palin in the news…
Yesterday the tabloids looked just past Sarah Palin’s moose ears and talked about her daughter, two-wombs Bristol. Today the broadsheets notice the pregnant teen, and the BBC just stares…
BBC: Main story – she reacted to her critics with “all guns blazing”. Is that a pun? Does she shoot hawks or doves?
Says BBC Breakfast’s Louise Minchin – who addresses viewers in the manner of a primary school teacher bringing out the big felt tips – “she hit back at her commentators in the press”.

Killer Caffeine Is Killing Our Kids
YOU want a media horror story? Here’s one: the Sun says that schools are on “caffeine kid alert”.
Who is this Caffeine Kid, and how do we summon him? Is he bad or good? If bad, can he undone by Ritalin or a pint of London tap? If good, will he pop to the shops and give the upstairs toilet a good once over?
School nurses have been told to watch for signs of caffeine addiction in kids caused by drinks including Red Bull and cola.

Cricketer Carpets Chichester Over It’s Bin Policy
THE news in the Tabloid Telegraph is grim and it is dirty:
Council refuses to clean up spilt bin without staff qualified to wear wellies
Egads! Know that:
A council allegedly refused to clean up a dustbin that fell into a four inch stream because no-one “qualified” to wear wellington boots was available. An official from Chichester District Council also allegedly said that ropes and harnesses would be needed to prevent workers from being washed away.
Yeah, Chichester.

The BNP’s Hitler Youth, CCF, Nashi And Other NUT Jobs
THE British National Party is “running Hitler-style training camps to teach children how to use guns and knives.” So says Jason Beattie, the Mirror’s man in the fatigues.
It’s a bit like the Canadians do (see video), albeit without the grenades, and the Nashi Russians.
So says the Mirror. The BNP is an abhorrent organisation, but might the Mirror have got it wrong.
