Mental Health Break: Oh, Silly Sarah!

Entertain yourself with the oh so wonderful Sarah Palin:

Too Much TSA?

Recently, the Transportation Security Administration has added on a new level to their security system. Rather than simply walking through a medal detector, passengers will have to get a full body screening. Some have complained that the screening violates their privacy because it is too revealing. The alternative to the screening isn't much better though. Those who wish to not be screened must get a full body pat down. Many object to this because they feel much discomfort with the process. In this video a reporter gets the first hand opinions from the passengers at the airport in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Palin for President?

In an interview with Barbara Walters, Sarah Palin talks about her possible plan to run for president against Obama in 2012. This has been talked about for some time now and she made it clear that it hasn't been set in stone yet but she is seriously considering the idea. Besides explaining the possible run for presidency, Palin also said she feels confident about beating Obama. She recognizes that she will face much difficulty, though, because of the public's view of her record. She addresses that,
"It's been much more perplexing to me than where the lamestream media has wanted to go about my personal life. And other candidates haven't faced these criticisms the way I have. I'm on television nearly every single day with reporters. ... Now granted, that's mainly through my job at Fox News, and I'm very proud to be associated with them, but I'm not avoiding anything or anybody.
I'm on Facebook and Twitter. I'm out there. I want to talk about my record, though."
