Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "As former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launches her national book tour, a former consultant questions more specifics from her record as governor. Palin, the former running mate to Sen. John McCain during the 2008 presidential elections, continues to claim that she effectively protected Alaska's environment, but a National Academies peer review panel has blasted her oil and gas risk assessment plan, calling her environmental credentials into question."

Not So Funny After All!

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "I've been writing roughly once a week for months now about the insane circus that is today's Republican Party, mostly to make fun of them. It's difficult to do otherwise; how does one write seriously about people like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and GOP Chairman Michael Steele? Try it sometime: failure is all but guaranteed ... The problem, however, is that people like Palin stopped being funny a while ago."
