Sarah Palin is now a grandma.

And apparently one of the most admired women in this country, behind Hillary but ahead of Oprah. Gag me.

I hope that the Palin's donate some of these items, if not all, or most, to people who are less fortunate.

The McCain campaign has affixed that label to Barack Obama for months, and he has helped the cause with his inartful San Francisco comments (now who’s bitter?) and his support from traditional elitist constituencies, especially those Hollywood do-gooders. But on Thursday evening, as Palin gosh-darned and doggoned
