Interview with Ilana Angel and Happy Birthday, Piper Palin!

Ilana Angel who writes a blog for the Jewish Journal talks to BlogTalkRadio about her meeting with Sarah Palin. The audio quality isn't the greatest, but you get used to it quickly as it's a great interview:



Ilana's original column is here.

And I believe a certain girl is turning 9 today. Hmmmm, I wonder who that could be...



Happy Birthday, Piper! I think whoever uploaded this to YouTube took it down, so I re-uploaded it.

Hockey and Pics

What I wouldn't give to be watching a hockey game right now...

Is it me, or is the 'Cuda excited about something?

Twitter:

Faceoff, skate & USA scores! Sweet start in Olympic hockey game vs Canada - could be epic! Tune in to a great contest that matters today.

U-S-A!!! 4-2 in the 3rd. 12 min remain in what could be a miraculous run for US Olympic Hockey Team... red, white & blue = making us proud!

YES!!! USA. 5-3 with 44 seconds to go... YES AMERICA!!! Sweeeeeet...

And on Facebook:

Congratulations to Team USA’s men’s hockey team for a sensational game this evening. We needed this! It made us so proud to be fans of this team, this sport, and this great country. America's Olympic team of hard working, selfless team players – with no individual superstars – is an inspiring story for all. Now on to the next chapter in this great sports story…

Go Team USA!

- Sarah Palin

Yep. Between this and the Iron Dog start, I'd say she's happy.

Twitter:

Trig's a fan! Go IronDoggers - be safe, ride hard, have fun lovin' Alaska's great outdoors.

Good day for the sports-lover. In other news, thought I'd share a few pics I found on Team Sarah. Taken at the Tea Party Convention.


This little boy had Down Syndrome. He was from Peru.


And here's Sarah in Redding:

Where Was Todd?

I can hear it now: "Todd wasn't at the Daytona 500! And on Valentine's Day! They really do hate each other!"

Oh, shut up.

To put it simply, nothing comes between a man and his snowmachine. Daytona will just have to wait.
Todd is back in Alaska gearing up for the Iron Dog. JohnDoeAt30Below over on C4P even talked to him on Saturday:

Had a long talk with Todd yesterday, he looks fit and ready. I told him how proud I was of him, Sarah and the family for handling all the mud slung at him and I told him I thought it would have ended by now. He just said, "That goes to show you how much the media tries to control things."

FWIW, Todd is essentially a pretty quiet guy and doesn't like to discuss politics. Talk snow or hunting or the outdoors and his eyes light up.

Todd has to get ready for the Iron Dog. Tech inspection/autograph session yesterday afternoon, starting draw and banquet last night.

Well, there ya go.

The race itself kicks off on the 21st and ends on the 27th. Go Piper's dad!
