It seems forever since the Democrats completed their triumphant Convention in Denver with its Obama/Biden/Clinton/Kennedy unity ticket and its intoxicating sense of take-it-to-the-finish line momentum. What happened? Not Sarah Palin. How could a small-time Alaska mayor and first term Governor derail the Obama freight train? No it was not Sarah...

At 6 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 25, Kalma camp, home to 90,000 displaced Darfuris, was surrounded by Sudanese government forces. By 7 a.m., 60 heavily armed military vehicles had entered the camp, shooting and setting straw huts ablaze. Terrified civilians -- who...

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has made history as the first mother to be on the Republican presidential ticket, and she has the potential to bring a new perspective on issues that impact America's children to Washington and the White House. Indeed, since her introduction to the nation last week, Governor...

Last week in this space I applauded the fact that a few important shards of reality broke through the predictable pageantry of the Democratic National Convention. This week, it is hard not to boo the truly fantastical specter of the RNC, where reality was banished from the hall.

Where is she today?

Why, there she is, Miss Almost Alaska, electrodes no doubt adhering to her pristine forehead, streams of memes and misinformation being electronically transmitted into Sarah's intelligently designed cortex. Cram, Sarah, cram! There's lots of room and little time!

Leaving no stone unturned, her redoubtable handlers...

There is nothing like getting completely off the grid to clear one's mind, and put things into perspective - and there is no place better to do just that than Washington's Olympic Peninsula.

I spent the last week at a cabin on Lake Sutherland, just...

Next time someone asks what you think of Sarah Palin, please don't just call her a "skilled politician" with a "compelling biography." Call her a liar, too. Here's how that would work:

Reporter: What do you think of Sarah Palin?
You: She's a skilled politician...

Sarah Palin's churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same 'Spiritual Warfare' movement that was featured in the award winning movie, "Jesus Camp,"...

I first registered to vote in 1996, the year after I turned 18. My decision was not based on ideology, but rather my preference for the sitting president, Bill Clinton. I liked President Clinton, figuring that the guy who was doing a good job on the economy and keeping...

Low income families from across the country gave up their weekends to brave long-distance travel, storms, and the financial hardship of taking time off from jobs to discuss and ratify a National Family Platform. In the short video below attendees share about the process. The platform and call to action...

The "women's" vote used to be about issues... day care, health leave, health care, pay equity. Now, it's about punishing women and dismantling their hard earned civil rights, and the right to birth control. The right has defined birth control as being abortion. Palin doesn't believe that women or girls...

**UPDATE: Guess I was wrong...it's ABC. Maybe it'll be a real interview after all. (Or not, judging by Charles Gibson's performance during the primary debate.)**

**UPDATE 2: Read this and smile.**
