Midnight Blue Says

A rainy Saturday opens up a great opportunity to get some work done at home.  I’m knee deep in the process of remodeling a master bedroom and bath. It seemed like a relatively easy project at the start, then reality set in.  Since home life must trump blogging this weekend, I’ve left a great list of reading material in this post, feel free to post your thoughts in the comment section.

Sarah Palin fired back at the left leaning pundits who hyperventilated over her use of crib notes during the Tea Party convention keynote speech. At a rally today in support of  Governor Rick Perry, sse sent a crib note to her mom – Hi Mom!

Her response is classy and priceless – Sarahcuda scores again:

Hi Mom!

A reminder of what it looks like when you don’t use crib notes:

Sarah Palin - A New Face on Fox

Let liberal aneurysms begin:

2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is joining Fox News as a contributor, the news channel announced Monday.

The former Alaska governor, whose book, Going Rogue: An American Life, became a bestseller weeks before it was released and remains No. 2 on the New York Times bestseller list, has signed a multi-year deal to offer her political commentary and analysis across all Fox News platforms, including Fox Business Channel, FoxNews.com and Fox News Radio.

Sarah Palin was able to effect positive changes in the Dems health care scheme using FaceBook posts – imagine what she’ll accomplish on Fox News.

Midnightblue’s obligatory, albeit delayed, review of 2009. Sorry about that, I got lost in Middle Earth.

This is going to be a long post so check under the fold for all the review goodness

Going Rogue - An American Life

Over the past weeks, I’ve read  fantastic reviews of this book.  Check out Bank of Kev and American Thinker’s review of Going Rogue, both are outstanding works in their own right.  I’ve borrowed the question set from the Bank of Kev review in order to frame my thoughts on the book.

Schwartz sends goons in her place to Healthcare Townhall hosted by Damian Dachowski.

After receiving no answer from emails requesting town hall health care meeting , I took up Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann’s call to make a house call on our congressional representatives.

Despite less than a week’s notice, up to 50,000 Americans from across the country gathered at the steps of the Capitol Building yesterday to send a message to Congress - ’kill the bill’.  Pelosicare is not health care reform, it is a power grab.

Pre Order Going Rogue HERE

Peter Heck, a public high school teacher, penned  an articulate and reasoned case of the mainstream media’s obsessive Palin bashing. Quite frankly, the writing is on the wall and the MSM is scared…

Since the moment she burst onto the national scene, there has been an unparalleled effort amongst the so-called sophisticated elites to destroy Sarah Palin.  Unparalleled, but not unprecedented.

In the 1970s, the dominant left feared the rise of another radical right-wing governor of a western state — you might remember his name: Ronald Reagan — and they utilized a full arsenal of tactics to try to slow his meteoric rise.  Comparing their words and actions then to their current anti-Palin crusade now is stunning.

Of course the tone and actions of today’s Democrats are off the charts. I’m sure Reagan was not hung in effigy, nor was his personal contact information made public. But that was then, this is now. Hopefully, in the end, the result will be the same:

After all, everyone knows how the Reagan story ended: the annihilation of a bumbling predecessor, a clear conservative agenda that revitalized the American economy and ended the Cold War, a landslide re-election of embarrassing proportions, and a legacy as one of America’s greatest Chief Executives. Considering then the striking parallels between the “Gipper” and the “Pitbull with lipstick,” maybe the left’s deranged animosity towards her is simply born out of a fear of the inevitable.

2012 cannot come soon enough.

Well, they are giving it out to anyone these days…

Mark Steyn on Nobel Tops SNL for Obama Joke

Barack Obama will have history’s most crowded trophy room, but his presidency is shaping up as a tragedy – for America and the world.

Sarah Palin has completed her memoir - Going Rogue: An American Life.

Coming to a bookstore near you on November 17th. You can pre-order the book at Amazon

While Iran smolders, Afghanistan burns, Obama heads to...Denmark

Been busy this week, blog opening and all that, and have a few topics to share with you all. Yes, it is an abbreviated post, but it is good stuff!

Enjoy The Blend:

Epic Fail of the Year: West Chester Democrat committee people in collusion with a spokesperson for the WCASB Democrat candidates were caught concocting a backdoor smear campaign against the Republican WCASB candidates. In the following email exchange, a committee person goes so far as to volunteer to circumvent campaign finance rules in order to make this happen. Below are the damning emails -  is this the type of leadership voters can expect from Dem committee people and their school board candidates?

Subject: Lit Drop for East Bradford this weekend

Fred, John, Rick,
I have talked about the plan to do a massive negative lit drop in Mark Pimley’s precint and think we need to do that this weekend. Most likely Friday night or Saturday.

We need to bring up the negatives and show the people in East Bradford just how right wing these candidates really are. Let me know what you guys think.

At today’s meeting it was more or less agree upon to start the negative stuff in about 4½-5 weeks with a targeted mailing, certain WC wards & other specific precincts.

In reference to your lit drop Brian & for the benefit of the rest on this eMail Cc: Mark Pimley is the committee person in EB S-1 living at (address removed for privacy) off of Sconneltown (see the google map below).

I’ve gotten some negative feedback about doing a lit drop for defaming him (& his wife) for hosting this fundraiser for the “R’s” school board campaign.

It’s the candidates we need to attack, so depending on what our negative-type letter claims, to me, that would make a case about whether it should be done.

Now I’m not personally opposed to doing a mailing that would go out as quickly as we could get one together. I would afford a fair share of the cost if that’s decided that that’s what should be done. Are we certain about a date of when the fundraiser is?

Below is the actual location of the Pimley home, so limiting a mailing/lit drop to the adjacent neighbors would have to be determined. 100, 200, 500, Dems, soft “R’s”, Ind.???
