Don’t let it hit you in the ass, Sarah.
Bad news for Sarah Palin, just as Alaska prepares to celebrate its pending independence from Gov. Beauty Queen, who, after Sunday, will be Ex-Gov. Beauty Queen. “Screen door” parties begin as soon as today, with microbrewed “Bailin’ Palin Fail Ale” on tap. As our colleagues at Mudflats [...]
