• Towleroad: [This is a must read for anyone interested in political commentary] "To my fellow Americans: I’m an Alaskan. I grew up in Wasilla. Sarah Palin was my mayor. She wanted to ban books at the library where my parents taught me how to read. There have been many interesting pieces of journalism introducing my gun toting, mooseburger-eating former neighbors (I now live in Manhattan) to the rest of the country, and most have focused on how proud Alaskans are of their governor making the surprise leap to the big leagues. Sarah Palin’s story is compelling, but it is one that could happen only in Alaska, where the politics and the economy are simple and where it’s not difficult to spend a lifetime sheltered from the complexities and diversity of the outside world. I love my home state; I wouldn’t trade my childhood there with anyone. And I hope the Palin intrigue will translate into a boost in tourism that will further enrich the state’s $5 billion budget surplus, so that when Gov. Palin returns to Juneau in November she can continue to serve Alaska’s interests with relative ease..." Ryan Quinn: Sarah Palin Was My Mayor: A Guest Opinion Piece

• Queerty: The ex-gay movement's trying to make moves into public libraries. Right-wing non-profit PFOX, Parents and Friends of ExGays and Gays, recently urged members to sent local libraries some suggested reading, like Arthur Goldberg's Light in the Closet: Torah, Homosexuality, and the Power to Change, and A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality, by Joseph and Linda Nicolosi. Both titles, we're sure, are page-turners. Ex-Gays Launch Library Drive

• Roseanne's World: "The Government just let out the news, this morning! They are using our money (taxpayers) to bail out those mammoth lending institutions. We're stuck with the bill. I would say we'll "own" those institutions...but - Oh, No! That would be something that a "dangerous" Socialist like Hugo Chavez would do; he would Nationalize the lending industry and all the citizens would own these huge outfits! Oh, my God! Can you imagine, for example: All the people of a country owning all the oil beneath it? Crazy, right Cornservatives? Republican Socialism on the march! Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
• Popwatch Blog: "... he [Russel Brand] urged Americans to vote for Barack Obama and called George W. Bush a "retarded cowboy" who, in the U.K., wouldn't be trusted with even a pair of scissors. (Doesn't he know that you can't say "retarded" in this country anymore?) The anti-Brand complaint seems to be: You have no right to come over here from Limeyland to tell us how to vote or to mock our president -- that's our job.
