Palin is a Liar

This woman really is not honest.

We already know that the Bridge to Nowhere story is just not true.  She was for it whle campaigning for Governor before she was against it — after the world ridiculed it (including McCain, BTW), the earmark was stripped and it was no longer politically useful to her to be for it.  She (and the state of Alaska) kept the money, though and spent it on other road projects, so you’d think that if they wanted that Bridge, they would have built it with the money Congress let the state keep in its Transportation Fund. If you are refusing an earmark, you should be refusing the money, too, right?

Political Authors at the Free Library of Philadelphia

The Main Library in Philly is the host to a pretty amazing roundup of authors throughout the year, but they have two seasons of what they call the Philadelphia Lectures to help raise money for the Library. They have a very eclectic assortment of writers who come to speak — historians, poets, cooks, artists, scientists and science writers, fiction writers, graphic novelists as well as the political writers.

You can see the full lineup of writers this season (this shows both the free and the paid events) here (there are 4 pages or so of events). But since we are a political blog, I thought I would highlight a few events that Delaware Liberal readers may want to try to go to:

And the Michigan Independents Weigh In — UPDATE

Jake Tapper has the story:

Ilene Beninson, 52, Berkley independent: “Her speech contained few statements about policy or the party platform. … I am not convinced that Palin’s experience as a mayor or governor in Alaska meet the qualifications to be vice president much less one stroke or heart attack away from being commander in chief.”

Jan Wheelock, 58, Royal Oak independent: “Nothing worked for me. I found her barrage of snide remarks and distortions to be a major turnoff. She is not a class act. The most important point she made is that she will be an effective attack dog.”

UPDATE: TheHuffington Post reports on another focus group from last night — this one of female HRC voters from Nevada.
