...September, conservative columnist Kathleen Parker wrote of her gradual realization that Sarah Palin wasn't qualified to be John McCain's running mate and should step aside. A former Palin supporter, Parker incurred the wrath of right-wing readers, but her remarks were brave, and her willingness to repudiate spin, even at personal cost, won her admirers of all political persuasions...
...Gear 's on-air attitude, but he and Wilman are also crucial when it comes to squeezing cash out of the brand.

At the Grange, a swish 11-acre (4.5 ha) development in Dublin, realtors sold 15 luxury apartments a week...
...that weren’t enough (and who could possibly want more than a candid of Beck’s mouth?), there are ticking clocks galore, people with white boxes over their heads, and one particularly hideous black and white minidress. To complete the head trip, lots of things spin around and zoom in and out of focus. It’s all so stylish and retro that by the end you feel it was more likely to be directed by the ghost of Andy Warhol than photographer Autumn de Wilde. This style is all part of the point...
