SARAH PALIN COULD BLAZE NEW TRAIL TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Riding the ‘maverick’ persona she embodied throughout Senator John McCain’s run for the white house, Sarah Palin may be embarking on a completely uncharted path to the 2012 presidency. Palin, known for her sometimes unorthodox behavior as a woman, mother, and politician of America’s great frontier state of Alaska, may just buck the system yet again by taking a path to oval office that has never before been traversed. While the typical route to the presidency has been marked by accomplished service in the political arena or successful military experience, Palin has chosen to prematurely relieve herself from Alaska’s gubernatorial duties. If Palin were to run and win the 2012 presidential election, her new journey would forever change the standard for achieving America’s highest honor.

Sawers’s online appearance along with multiple images identifying the likeness of his wife, children, and home went on to illustrate that regular users and high-profile users alike are capable of easily sharing fun family information with friends and the entire world.

5th GRADERS RECEIVE SEX EDUCATION

In a move that has shocked parents around the country, several 5th grade students at Isabelle Jackson Elementary school have recently undergone discussions about the “birds and the bees.” The pre-adolescent sex education is the result of progressive 5th grade teacher Crystal Defanti’s dedication to educating her students to the unexpected events of the ever-changing world around them.
