Sarah Palin Rocks GOP

In many ways, Sarah Palin is the biggest star in the Republican Party. Although the GOP is still filled with many negative issues which create bad baggage for the party when it come to national elections - Sarah Palin is not part of that baggage because in my view she (Palin) rocks the GOP. A few days ago, Sarah Palin decided to step down from her role as Alaska Governor and most people, including myself, are still confused about what she is up to. My gut feeling is that there is some type of family scandal that drove her from office, but it's just as possible that she (Sarah Palin) is masterful at playing chess which means her mind is already two or three steps moves ahead of the political pundits.

There is a certain energy about Sarah Palin that causes excitement in women who generally vote democratic on election day. I first notice that excitement in friends, family and even my wife when John McCain selected Sarah Palin to be his VP running mate in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. While I found myself being more of a pragmatist when it came to the unknown Palin running for this nations second highest office, to the contrary - I saw my wife, who is a life long Democrat, vote for John McCain just because Sarah Palin was on his ticket. There are millions of Republicans and Democrats that really like Sarah Palin, so if she decides to run for President in 2012 - she will be a force to be reckoned with.

Just because Sarah Palin has been risen to rock star status in the GOP does not mean that all of the power brokers of the Republican Party like her. Instead, many old time Republican leaders do not like Sarah Palin at all because she is a strong woman. Unfortunately, too many voters and leaders of the GOP are still throw backs to an older time when women knew their place was in the kitchen and raising the kids at home while the man earned the money. For decades now, the United States of American has changed and no longer fits that outdated role of how women are suppose to act.

I still have deep reservations about Sarah Palin's temperament and also her competence to lead this great nation as President. However, it is almost four years until the next presidential election and during that period of time - Sarah Palin could surprise many of her critics if she hunkers down and learns the complicated issues of this country and the world we also belong to. While few writers will openly admit this, the biggest issue going in Sarah Palin's favor come the next presidential election cycle is her good looks. Put simply, Sarah Palin rocks because she is a hot looking woman. If she (Palin) can find a way to increase her brain power to match her looks, she could be unbeatable in the 2012 presidential election.

Michael Jackson Dark Side

Much has been written over the past few weeks about the bright side of Michael Jackson's personality and talents, but just like everyone else - there was a dark side to Michael's personality, so I thought I would write about some of those issues today. As a rule, I usually focus on the positive aspects of people I meet and write about - but when someone as famous as Michael Jackson dies, it is important to view the whole person and not just some created figure that was made by the powers that be in Hollywood.

The three most evident dark sides to Michael Jackson's personality were his strange behavior around young boys, his apparent addiction to plastic surgery and in the end his his over reliance on drugs. Over the past week, it seems like every time I write something positive about Michael Jackson's music and the impact that it had on hundreds of millions of people around the world - I always get an email or someone commenting here about Michael Jackson's alleged abuse of young boys at his Neverland Ranch. While I do not know what went on at the ranch behind closed doors, I do know that something was not right because grown men are not suppose to act like that around young children.

Then we have Michael Jackson's apparent addiction to plastic surgery. Over the years, when reporters that interviewed Jackson asked about his excessive plastic surgery - he would often times answer their question by say that he had not gone under the knife to change his appearance. To me - when someone has an addiction, even to plastic surgery, they tend to lie about it to people around them and also to reporters that ask them questions. Both friends and enemies of Michale Jackson knew that he had plastic surgery on many different occasions and the fact that he felt like he had to lie about it proves to me that Jackson was addicted to having plastic surgery.

Of course, then we learned last week about the various types of prescription drugs which were found in Michael Jackson's home after his death. According to some police sources, there were many kinds of drugs found in Michael Jackson's rented home in Los Angeles. Some were prescribed to Jackson directly while others were obtained by Jackson through other doctors and some police sources believe that Jackson used other names in order to get more drugs to feed his ever growing habit. The people that Michael Jackson hired to take care of him seemed to be more concerned with failing to get the drugs Michael needed to feed his habit than to insisting that he get help to better control the types and amounts of drugs he was taking each day.
