Jack LaLanne turned 95 on September 26th. We can only guess what amazing feat he will do for his fans on his 100th birthday. I certainly hope that I live long enough to find out…

It is unclear what Palin’s motives might be, but already many commentators on both sides of the political spectrum have expressed their opinion that Palin may have “committed political suicide.”

Michael Jackson: A Conflicted Man-Child?

Michael Jackson in his 40s

For Michael Jackson, only Sundays offered some respite from the career being forced upon him by his father. His Sundays were just for him and his religion – Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Sarah Palin, one Alaskan’s opinion

Sarah Palin eyes Russia

Palin made a huge and positive impact with millions of Americans – people who were bright enough to see through the media driven bias that put a negative spin on every little thing they could find out about her.

Will Sarah Palin drop out?

Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate

Rumors are flying that John McCain’s choice for Vice President, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, will ask to be excused for personal and family reasons.  The rumors actually make sense, and if true, could have a major effect on the upcoming campaign.

Fred Dalton Thompson underwhelms

Fred Dalton Thompson
