Sarah Palin “Tomorrow, America’s most famous hockey mom, Sarah Palin, will drop the ceremonial first puck at the Philadelphia Flyers game. Right afterwards, she’ll get out on the ice and skate around reporters’ questions, so it should be interesting.” -Jay Leno “The other big story, of course, this week is how nasty and angry the […]
