National Enquirer Says Levi Johnston May Have Got His Ex-Girlfriend Pregnant

Apparently, Bristol and Levi are the Britney and Kevin. Take this with about a hundred grains of salt. Perez Hilton is 'reporting' that the National Enquirer is 'reporting' (I can't find anything on their site so it may only be in the print version) that Levi Johnston may (may!)...

Shortly after my interview with New Black Panther Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz, during which I confronted him about a number of inflammatory statements by NBPP members, a video surfaced of Shabazz praising Osama bin Laden.

Journolist Founder Ezra Klein Defended Sarah Palin, Called Her a ‘Wonderful Mother’

Glynnis MacNicol noted that yesterday's daily Daily Caller Journolist leak deviated from previous entries, in that it was simply a "dump" of emails on the subject of Trig Palin, with no accompanying editorial content.

Sarah Palin, Trig, And Journolist…Did Your Head Explode Yet?

Most of the time it's hard to muster sympathy for Sarah Palin when it comes to her treatment at the hands of the press; this is a woman who could teach an advanced course in media relations. In fact every day I wonder if she's doing just that with her Facebook notes....
