I have seen some recent broadcasts about the anger over the recent Newsweek cover of Sarah Palin. The adjoining article, entitled, “The Palin Problem”, paints a very negative picture of the folksy VP candidate. The sub-headline of the article reads, “Yes, she won the debate by not imploding. But governing requires knowledge, and mindless populism is just that—mindless.” Click here to read the article.
Take a look at the Newsweek cover below and judge for yourself it it was appropriate for print-showing Palin in 100% real lighting, real close sans Photoshop.
An important question to ponder, “Do we want leaders who are everyday folks, or do we want leaders whounderstand everyday folks? “
“The Santa Monica ad agency RPA cut half-inch grooves into a quarter-mile stretch of Avenue K, in the exurban L.A. desert city of Lancaster. The grooves were synched in such a way that driving over them at precisely 55mph caused Rossini’s “William Tell Overture” — a.k.a. the Lone Ranger theme — to echo in the air around you.”
It has since been repaved, but not before some people had some musical fun!

And those who say a persons educational background isn’t important, is in denial. You cannot deny who has had more educational success. You just can’t.
Did you notice the ads after last night’s presidential debate?
ABC had Chevron. CBS had Exxon. CNN had the coal lobby. But you know what happened last week? ABC refused to run our Repower America ad — the ad that takes on this same oil and coal lobby.
I sent a letter asking ABC to reconsider their decision and put our ad on the air, but still we haven’t heard back more than a week later. I think they need to hear from all of us. Can you help? Please send a message to ABC and tell them to air the Repower America ad this Friday on 20/20. Just click here:
We’re working to get 100,000 public comments to ABC before 20/20‘s next airing.
Our Repower America ad has a clear and simple message — that massive spending by oil and coal companies on advertising is a key reason our nation hasn’t switched to clean and renewable sources for our energy.
Here’s the script of the ad:
The solution to our climate crisis seems simple.
Repower America with wind and solar.
End our dependence on foreign oil. A stronger economy.
So why are we still stuck with dirty and expensive energy?
Because big oil spends hundreds of millions of dollars to block clean energy.
Lobbyists, ads, even scandals.
All to increase their profits, while America suffers.
Breaking big oil’s lock on our government …
Now that’s change.
We’re the American people and we approve this message.
You can view the ad on the ABC petition page, here.
