(Newser) – After Arnold Schwarzenegger needled Sarah Palin via Twitter about being able to see Russia from his plane, she got the last word (we hope) in a new tweet: "Arnold should have landed; I could have explained our multi-billion dollar state surplus & US energy security efforts. What's he been up to? " Now everyone step away from the Blackberry, please. Read Arnold's jab in full here.

The Case for Why Sarah Palin Won’t Run for President

Sept. 1, 2010

When news surfaced yesterday that Sarah Palin would be venturing to Iowa to headline the GOP's annual Reagan Day Dinner on September 17, she sparked a new round of media speculation about her 2012 presidential ambitions. Ever since Palin resigned from the Governor’s Mansion last summer, the will-she-or-won’t-she guessing game that occupies the minds of Republicans (and many optimistic Democrats) has turbocharged her appeal as a national figure.


But the trip to Iowa, like almost anything to do with Palin, can be read in a number of ways. On the one hand, it might be an earnest attempt to begin to build a campaign. But it’s also, certainly, an effective move for a media figure like Palin — Matt Drudge played it huge. For Palin, running for president is partly a kind of profit center. "It’s an industry to write about Sarah and put her on TV,” John Coale, the prominent Democratic lawyer and husband of Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren, told me. “We’re two years into this and people are still fascinated by her. But, if she doesn’t run, does she maintain this interest?”

Did Sarah Palin Get a Boob Job? A Photographic Investigation (Gawker)

 

So much has changed since Sarah Palin was governor. She raised a baby; her baby raised a baby; she made millions of dollars on a book. And at the Belmont Stakes this weekend, something else looked a little, um, new.

"Sarah Palin sure looks like she was trotting out some new work at the horse races," reports Wonkette, our favorite source for political boobs and bloggers. And in the Reuters photo offered for comparison, the great buoys of Alaska appear more bountiful than usual. However, detailed analysis reveals that, from some angles at the Belmont, the breasts didn't look quite so huge...

Stories that could rock the summer (Politico)

On the eve of the summer campaign doldrums, the narrative for the midterm elections seems well-established: Big losses are in store for Democrats in November, incumbents of all stripes ought to be looking over their shoulders and the political establishments in both parties are out of favor.

Yet as fixed as those story lines might seem at the moment, there’s plenty that could still go wrong — or right — to alter the Democratic Party's or Republican Party’s trajectory over the next few months.

Natural disasters could wreak havoc. Crimes might be exposed. Jaw-dropping gaffes that could be committed, and unforeseen political forces could yet be unleashed.

Sarah Palin Tackles The Immigration Debate: ‘We’re All Arizonans Now’ (Mediaite)

Is there anybody alive on the planet better at whipping up catchy political slogans than Sarah Palin? The woman is really unmatched in her ability to sum up national issues in one line or less. Today’s contribution to the political conversation comes, as per usual, via her Facebook page. It is about the Arizona Immigration law, and while she makes no direct mention of it I imagine she was re-inspired to weigh in on the controversy after a national poll revealed that almost 75% of the country supports the law.

American Spectator Hitting Readers Up for $26,000 in Donations (Media Matters)

by Joe Strupp

May 03, 2010 

The American Spectator is asking its subscribers to pony up some $26,000 in donations to help it offset increased printing costs.

A letter sent out to some 60,000 e-mail subscribers last week states that the money is needed to "fill the $26,000 shortfall created by the perverse incentives of the liberal agenda. Our paper costs are rising for NEXT MONTH'S ISSUE."

But it does not really explain how liberal policies are increasing paper costs. An American Spectator development director confirmed to Media Matters that the donation request was genuine, but also could not explain the link to liberal policies.
