I think this is the post partisan spirit being ushered in under the new administration. Here is what was sent in on the Contact Sarah Palin page by a person claiming to be Allison Brattole from Brick, NJ using the email address: alisonbrattole@yahoo.com

With Those Legs Who Needs Expensive Clothes?

So, just when I’d hoped Governor Sarah Palin would disappear from public consciousness, it seems we can’t get rid of the former Republican Vice Presidential candidate. She’s everywhere and so too is the ongoing controversy over her ultra-expensive Hollywood style “make-over”. This weekend New York Times revealed details of the $165,000 the Republican party had spent on three stylists for Palin, in addition to $150,000 already reportedly spent on clothes. It’s now claimed, even more was spent than that. Sarah Palin, 44, through a spokesperson, has claimed she was “appalled” at the expense. The clothes are being given to charity.

I read all this and thought – GOP: here’s a few things you need to know about makeovers and stylists.

1) Alas, but true, we women do need a hair stylist and a make-up artist for TV. If you can find one person who does both then great but even TV networks usually have different artists for on-air talent, since different skill-sets are required. We shouldn’t knock the expense spent on that. I have no doubt Hillary Clinton didn’t set foot on the campaign trail without a hair stylist and make-up artist in tow. Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that if you do end up on TV, with your hair unstyled, it looks like a birds nest, wisps everywhere. And if you have no make up, then under the lights, you look not like yourself, but a shining sheet-white female Edward Scissorhands. It’s very distracting from what you are trying to say.

Sarah Palin Snubbing Oprah Winfrey

It’s not Oprah Winfrey’s fault that former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin hasn’t been a guest on her talk show yet! Chicago talk show host Oprah Winfrey declared, “I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over… I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King]. But she didn’t talk to me. But maybe she’ll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal in the works.

When asked if Oprah will have Barack Obama on the show, she responded, “There’s always an open invitation for the president-elect and first ladyMichelle.”

“Extra’s” AJ Calloway caught up with Winfrey at last night’s Alvin Ailey Dance Theater’s 50th anniversary celebration where she served as honorary chair. Winfrey joked, “In my wildest, wildest, crazy, crazy dreams, I am a dancer…When I’ve like had too many tequila shots and I go to sleep, I dream of being a dancer.”

AND – Winfrey told Calloway the one thing that she had to rescue when the Santa Barbara wildfires threatened her home was a book of letters from Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and all the young ladies who attended her Legends Ball. Winfrey exclaimed, “So when the fires were coming and the flames were a blowin’, I said, ‘Get my letters!’”

Foreign Conservatives Don’t Like Sarah Palin Very Much

But it’s not just American conservatives who are appalled. Just last week conservative writer of th New York Times columnist David Brooks and I were enjoying an cocktail at the family weekend house in Montauk with my good friend Viscount Klaus-Maria Von Wallensheim, the conservative EU Agricultural Pricing Minister with whom I shared an Alpine chalet and manservant during our years as classmates at a Swiss boarding school. “Kloonkie” (my old school appellation for the Viscount) reported the growing dismay of the Continental Right over Palin’s embarrassing enthusiasm for childbirth and Israel.

It’s an inescapable conclusion that this woman has, in 6 short weeks, single-handedly destroyed the Republican party. Certainly George Bush may share some of the blame; but we conservatives must remember how our hopes were buoyed by his impressive bloodlines and Yale degree before we realized his excursion to Texas had caused him to “go native.” But la Palin offers true conservatives no such extenuating graces. I mean, my God, this woman is simply awful; the elided vowels, the beauty pageantry, the guns, the crude non-Episcopal protestantism, the embarrassing porchload of children with horrifying hillbilly names, the white after Labor Day. As fellow conservative commentator Andrew Sullivan quipped to me the other day outside a Martha’s Vineyard antique shop, it’s gratifying to know the Gipper isn’t alive to see what has become of his party.

“Coddsie, old chap,” he warned, “You know I’ve always been America’s biggest defender in Monaco. But if you elect this ill-bred charwoman, I will be forced to move anchor to St. Tropez out of pure shame.”

Protein Shakes Helps Me Stay Warm in Alaska

When the temperature drops to -20 Farenheit you can bet that it is really cold. Forget about seeing your breath, the air freezes before it comes out of your mouth. In order for your body to keep pumping you have got to stay warm, and for your body to stay warm you need energy. With my shortened schedule, I don’t have time for full meals so i have to make do with Whey Protein. Protein is essential for muscles, not just for body builders, but for maintaining what you have. Protein shakes are high protein drinks designed to be used as supplements to increase protein intake in your diet.

Protien shakes and snacks allow me to get nutrition during council meetings on flights and even during a speech without the fear of getting my clothes dirty or getting nausea. My moose hunting buddy Joe Dillon even drinks protein drinks despite his macho attitude so have no fear men out there protein is not just for women.

Personally, I’m not fond of any plain whey protein drink, and muscle milk has too many calories at the recommended dosage.
What I do is take half a serving of muscle milk (1 scoop instead of 2) and one scoop of whey protein and mix it with two cups of nonfat milk. It tastes great, has a lot of protein, and is not too high in calories (not low either). 430 calories and 50 grams of protein.
And it’s a mixture of proteins, so you have some that are absorbed quickly and some that take time to absorb.

Just so you dont think I am all soft here is my plug for moose burgers. It tastes very much like ground beef, but it’s a very mild, very lean meat. I’ve made moose Wellington, moose meatballs, moose spaghetti sauce and T-bone moose steaks. You can put it in a can and use it to make stew with some vegetables and potatoes – it’s wonderful. It’s interchangeable with ground beef, but we rarely eat that because we get a lot of wild game here. If you get an old big one, they are tougher, but the younger, smaller ones give us 300 to 400 pounds of meat and we share it with our family.

Finally Found the Car I was Looking fo Online

As you know I have been pretty busy since mid-August and I did not have time to find a new car for my family. I personally do not shop online as much as other people so I was primarily looking for an online directory of auto dealers. Interestingly enough local.com matches you to the locale that you are searching from. This helped since I did not have to go through the whole rigamarole of finding what city I should be searching in. I happened to have been in San Francisco, and bam up popped auto dealers for San Francisco.

Being able to go directly to an auto dealers listing page and just have dealer phone numbers show up is kind of what I had been searching for in local search anyways. Let me tell you in my job I don’t have time for endless searching online. I am lucky if I can grab a few minutes away from my screaming babies and employees. It was really helpful that I was able to see car reviews, dealer reviews all on one page.

Thankfully, once I found the right dealer it was a pretty simple process to buy the car. I knew what I was in for based on the dealer reviews and the reviews of the car I wanted to buy. I purchased a beautiful Ferrari. Just kidding I got a beige 2009 Honda Accord with a sunroof, leather seats and chrome wheels.
