With weekend travel, I haven’t had time to do much writing, and it’s time to clear out saved links. The good news is that I’m now back in Chattanooga and have secured my copy of Going Rogue. Lots of reading to do this vacation.

The Hate Kate Gosselin Movement Exposed
Matt Heckman’s Blog
The truth behind the Kate hate. Interesting that the owner of Gosselins Without Pity is a pro-abortion writer in Pennsylvania who was angered that Kate chose not to “selectively” murder any of her brood. Nice when your political views can be conveniently altered to fit tabloid covers.
Organizing for America: Palin is ‘Dangerous’
Political Pyromania, Matthew Hurtt
Yes. According to an email from President Obama’s former campaign, traveling around the country and promoting your book is “dangerous.” Well, I suppose that capitalism is a scary thing to most liberals. Could it be that liberals are terrified of someone like Palin exposing healthcare for the socialist sham that it is?
GOP leads media charge
The Hill, Kim Hart
A bit of happy news after so much awfulness from Congress. Long-time readers may remember that in 2006, pretty much every post was about how Republicans were behind online. At the time, I was writing a master’s thesis on it, so it was the only subject I was reading. Some good things have happened in 2008. This is a particularly good story after the earlier editorial declaring Palin as the savior of new media for the right. While Palin is extremely adroit at Facebook, she’s hardly mistress of the interwebs.

And I complain how hard it is to be a conservative woman. African-American conservatives are put through much worse.

Sarah Palin’s Newsweek Cover: It’s Not Sexist
Matt Lewis, Politics Daily
I completely agree with Lewis’ take on the infamous Newsweek cover. Yep, I disagree with Palin. It’s not sexism. Sexism does exist in our society and charges should not be made lightly. Newsweek was immature and inappropriate, but not sexist.
