Gee it only took Sarah Palin a day to acknowledge a big event in one of her children's lives.

Courtesy of the Grizzled Mama's Facebook page:  

All our families' hearts are filled with love for Dakota, Bristol, Tripp, and Sailor Grace. It's been a rewarding and interesting ride this past year - but these two sure do love an adventure! As their biggest supporters, we're stratospherically happy it's happened, amidst running a little late! Like they said, the foundation of their new life together is built with hard work and God's grace, so they can't go wrong - their future is as bright as Alaska's midnight sun. 

- Todd and Sarah Palin

Well it looks like the Wasilla Wendigo finally got the war hero in the family that she always wanted. (Sorry Track you remain, as always, the family disappointment.) And gee it only took her a little less than a year to pull it off.

And of course Bristol used the traditional family technique for landing a man, she let him knock her up. (Maybe.)

So the question now is exactly what does the mother-in-law from hell have planned for Dakota and his new ball and chain? (Because you goddamn well know that it's something.)

By the way I went hiking with Dennis Zaki today and he is convinced that Bristol and Dakota sold their marriage story to ET which is why only they had exclusive shots of the couple.

I consider that a more than likely possibility, and I believe it also serves as some indication as to how they will interact with the press moving forward.

In other words they plan to take a page out of the Kardashian playbook and profit from media attention as much as they possibly can.

So for those calling for these two to go and live their lives privately, boy do I have some bad news for you.

So it appears that Bristol Palin is using her recent Instagram photo of Dakota Meyer with her baby to give the impression that the drama is over. Wanna bet?

too cute not to share

A photo posted by Bristol Palin (@bsmp2) on Mar 24, 2016 at 11:40am PDT

Courtesy of Inquisitr:

Bristol Palin has photographic proof that she’s amicably co-parenting with her ex-fiancé Dakota Meyer. 

The oldest daughter of Sarah Palin posted an Instagram pic of her ex holding their daughter, Sailor Grace. Bristol even captioned the pic, “Too cute not to share.” The new photo shows that things have calmed down between the once bitter exes. 

That same reconciliation theme shows up over at ET Online, People magazine, and US Weekly to name but a few.

Of course this fits a well known pattern with the Palin family.

Make nice in public, and plunge the knife even deeper under the cover of darkness.

I have been watching this play out for years with Levi and his family, as well as other former friends and acquaintances up here in Alaska.

And according to Radar Online that is exactly what's been happening:  

Palin had previously asked a judge to edit her visitation schedule with Meyer so she could spend her first Mother’s Day with her daughter, born in December 2015. But in court documents filed on March 14, Meyer hit back and said he wasn’t backing down.

Meyer’s attorneys asked the judge to set visitation for Mother’s day from 9 a.m. To 6 p.m., noting that “Ms. Palin originally had proposed visitation on that day … and that proposal was relied upon by Mr. Meyer in making his travel plans” from Kentucky to Alaska.

“That will still provide Ms. Palin time with Sailor on Mother’s Day, but will also allow Mr. Meyer, who is traveling across the country to see his daughter, to spend time with her that day as well,” they claim. 

“There is no valid reason to deprive Mr. Meyer of visitation with Sailor that day simply because it states on the calendar that it is Mother’s Day,” the documents continue. “Mr. Meyer cannot change his work and travel plans, which have already been made to move the visitation that was planned and ordered for that day … and it would be unreasonable at this juncture to expect him to do so.

Oh yeah, everything is all peachy keen alright. 

You know if Dakota and his representatives have any doubts about how this will play out going forward I encourage them to reach out to Levi and Sunny Johnston.

I am sure they have plenty they would like to share.

E! visits Bristol in Arizona.

From E! Online:



Well from the video I cannot tell if Bristol is pregnant, or post partum, or just overweight.  But to me she looks thinner than the last photographs we saw of her.

However I did notice that she still kept holding Tripp in front of her stomach to block the camera shot.

By the way this "pretty serious," picture by the bed, boyfriend of Bristol's just happens to be one of Sadie's cast offs. 

And not the first one that Bristol has swooped in to pick up ether from what I have heard. (Aren't there any other guys to date  in Wasilla?)

(BTW, just for clarification, I talked to Sadie yesterday and she says that this story, while accurate, was NOT given to Star magazine by her but rather a friend of hers who has been selling info to the tabloids behind her back.)

Palin does the safest of softball interviews with Mary "Why won't my face stop smiling" Hart.

Here is the link to the video. (I decided to remove the embd because it was one that automatically played and it was driving people nuts.)

"Just a house that Todd and his buddies built" she says. (With "borrowed" materials from the Wasilla Sports Center of course!)

Hey I can see Joe's house from her yard!

"I have not decided what I am going to do in 2012."  Lies! She knows EXACTLY what she is going to do in 2012! IF she can find enough brain damaged  people to support her that is!

Did she really just say that if she feels there are not the right kind of candidates in the race SHE will make the sacrifice and run? How many people can there be in the country that believe  Sarah "look a shiny object" Palin has the intelligence, the experience, and let's face it, has the attention span required to do a job that incredibly demanding?

Please say it is only about twelve!

So Mary Hart came ALL the way up here just to ask Sarah those fuzzy non-threatening questions?

Is it possible she is also covering a certain desperate attempt to bring some, let's say "glamour" to butt-boy's failing campaign?

Well if she is she better hurry, because it looks like Miller's ship is sinking fast!

A new poll conducted by Hays Research confirms what we already intuitively know. Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller's candidacy is in big trouble.

The percentage of Alaskans who feel either "somewhat negative" or "very negative" about Miller has skyrocketed in recent weeks to an astronomical 68 percent. Only 8 percent feel "somewhat negative" and the remainder, a jaw-dropping 60 percent, feel "very negative" about Miller as a candidate.

A series of gaffes, inconsistencies, and controversial statements to the press, in addition to the arrest of a journalist by Miller security guards have come one on top of another, causing a trend that can only be described as a campaign death spiral. Miller's hardcore supporters who view him "very favorably" have held in there, showing a decrease of only 3 percent since Oct. 6, but his "somewhat favorable" rating went from 20 percent to 9 percent in that time. Miller's "somewhat unfavorable" rating dipped from 13 percent to 8 percent, underscoring the voter stampede toward "very unfavorable" which skyrocketed from 38 percent to 60 percent in less than three weeks.

Whoo Hoo! Is it possible that Alaskans have FINALLY wised up and decided to stop voting Republican regardless of how fucked up the candidate is, and to start using their brains for a change?  I mean is it finally time for me to be proud of my state for their political integrity?

Can I?  Can I please?


P.S. For those of you who did not check out my Twitter feed, yes I am finally in Washington DC.  And it is AWESOME!! In fact I already met a fellow rally participant.

A much more extended interview with Levi about Bristol, Tripp, and his visitation schedule.

From ETonline:

Levi says that he's been able to see a lot more of his infant son lately and that his relationship with Bristol has improved.

"[She] and I talk quite a bit more now. I get Tripp at least once a week now, and things are definitely 100 percent better than they were," he explains, adding, "I'm just kind of playing by her rules until I have him."

"I'm going for [joint custody]; I'd never go full custody," he says. "I wouldn't try and do what she's doing to me. I wouldn't want to do that to a mother. It's just not right, anyway."

Referring to the PSA's message, Levi says, "Telling people how tough it is -- I know when I have him it is tough. It's not about you at all; you've got to watch him constantly. But it's amazing, too. I wouldn't go back and change it for anything. I love it."

Clearly showing that that he has no regrets, Levi tells Samantha, "It's the best thing that's ever happened to me, so I'm sure [Bristol's] thinking the same thing."

I encourage everybody, especially those who have been dogging on Levi, to click the ETonline link at the top and watch the video. 

ET has more behind the scenes video of Levi's Playgirl shoot.

I post this for my female visitors, without any snarky comment.

At least ET gets the Sherry Johnston sentencing details right.

ET confirms that Levi Johnston's mother Sherry Johnston has been sentenced to five years in jail, following her guilty plea to a drug charge stemming from her arrest last December.

Sherry's lawyer tells us she only faces two years of actual incarceration: Two of her five years were suspended, and she'll receive one year of "good time" credit as well as credit for the three months she's already served. She could possibly serve her time at home via an ankle monitor due to her lack of criminal history, her lawyer adds.

Sherry also faces three years of probation once she gets out of jail or off the ankle monitor.

Her lawyer tells ET that Levi and his sister Mercede were on hand for their mother's sentencing, and the judge called this a mitigated and unusual case. The state said they expect Sherry to do well on probation.

The difference between this article and the ADN article is that ET actually TALKED TO SHERRY'S ATTORNEY! Which is what I did, and why I also knew that Sherry was headed back home.
