Sarah Palin on Fox News

[jenny-wildcat.livejournal.com]

This is exciting: Sarah Palin to be a Fox News Contributor (and I almost missed it on Yahoo's front page)

At first, I thought she was getting her own show, but she's just going to be a guest commentator from time to time (like on one segment of O'Reilly or on Hannity's Great American Panel).  I think I prefer this.  I don't know about you, but Huckabee's random "jamming out" with Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. isn't exactly endearing...

But yay for more Sarah! :)

This is great! I think it will get her foot in the door, per se, with more live experience and commentary. They have lots of great folks doing this now that I enjoy getting their views on various topics.

I saw this on Hot Air just a bit ago.

She will surely have to be on Beck! He loves Sarahcuda.

[jenny-wildcat.livejournal.com]

She's got the whole hour on Beck tomorrow (1/13)

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

YAY! I hope that they will announce beforehand when she'll be appearing since I don't always catch Hannity, Beck, or O'Reilly.

She will be on Beck tomorrow (1/13) for the whole hour (just so ya know ^_^)

I love how the left is going crazy about this..I think she'll do good.

Here in Miami, the Cuban-American news stations were celebrating this latest accomplishment of "nuestra Sarita" (our little Sarah). I don't know, I thought that was cute :[

[litlover12.livejournal.com]

Really? I didn't know Cuban-Americans liked her so much!

[ohinternets.livejournal.com]

78% of us voted for her in 2008...

Awesome!! :-)

As a person who lives in Jacksonville, FL, I must say, "HEY! What's wrong with jamming with Lynyrd Skynyrd?!" Seriously. Love me some Skynyrd... and I just moved to their hometown 7 years ago. ;o)

Other than that, good for Sarah (and for FOX). That makes me wish even more that I had cable. Heh.

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

That's my favorite Skynyrd song too. Brilliant.

[jenny-wildcat.livejournal.com]

Hey I'm a Skynyrd fan, too (you can't grow up in my family and not love Skynyrd). It was a comment on Huckabee bringing all these musical acts on his show so he could be "cool" or whatever. Personally, I think he's trying a bit too hard.

You're from Jacksonville? I spent 18 months there in 2008-09. What area are you in?

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

Ah, gotcha. I've never seen Huck's show (no cable for me) so I didn't realize he was trying so hard.

I am now! I grew up in the Midwest, and let me tell ya, Jax is SO much better. I live on the westside in Cedar Hills, and absolutely love it. Riverside/Avondale has nothing on us when it comes to walking to everything. =oD

So were you in the Navy? That seems to be the usual reason for staying here such a short time.

[jenny-wildcat.livejournal.com]

Actually, I was a missionary for my church (I'm LDS). I spent most of my time in the Mandarin/St. Johns area, closer to St. Augustine. I actually made it down to St. Aug - that is an awesome little place. I have heard of Cedar Hills, though. A guy we were working with in Mandarin used to live there. I loved Jacksonville so much. There are a lot of neat people and it's so beautiful. I really want to take my family there for a vacation. I'm a little jealous that you live there :)

[kimana83.livejournal.com]

Wow! Not Navy! Shocking! LOL. Mandarin is so gorgeous. I'd live there if I could afford it, although I do like being so close to everything like I am in my little house in Cedar Hills. I can even walk to my church (which is also where I work).

I love St. Augustine. LOVE. And not just because I found out in December that they have a place with authentic gelato. (Seems like no one else in the USA can make it right.)

And yeah, Jax is awesome. I grew up in little towns in the ugly midwest, where it was wicked cold in the winter, and then actually hotter in the summer heat-index-wise than Jax gets, for almost as long! Jax is a total upgrade. We get the benefits of Florida - gorgeous beaches, nice weather - without the negatives - lack of seasons (IDK if you noticed while you were here, but Jax actually has all four seasons. They're just a bit skewed from up north.), tourists, and old people!

Where do you live now? Was your time here your 2-year mission work thing required by LDS? You were smart to choose (if you get to choose?) Florida!

[jenny-wildcat.livejournal.com]

I live out in Utah in the dryest, coldest part of the state and the summer is hot, hot, hot! I am trying to readjust to the bitter cold this winter. I grew up out here, but it's amazing what a year and a half in the tropical humidity will do to your skin (yes, I did notice all four seasons in Jax. People back home didn't believe me when I told them that there was actually frost on car windshields in the morning).

And YES to the gelato! I can't for the life of me remember the name of the stand we would go to (it was right on the beach), but that was amazing ^_^ Personally, I would much rather go to St. Augustine for a Florida vacation than Miami or Orlando. There's plenty to do, it's right on the ocean and there aren't as many crowds and junk.

As far as LDS missions go, it's not really required. It's completely voluntary. The guys are more encouraged to go than the girls are (we joke that the guys need the extra help to mature), but we are given the opportunity. If they go, guys go for two years and girls go for 18 months. And guys usually go when they're about 19 and girls go when they're around 21 (I went when I was 22). We don't get to choose where we go. We send in some paperwork saying that we want to go on a mission and they just send us wherever we are needed. Part of the fun in going is that you don't know where you're going to get sent. I am sooo stinking glad I went to Florida. I don't know if I could have done it if I went to somewhere like Alaska or Siberia.

Oh, I know what you mean. I always had dry skin up north but it's even worse now when I go back up when it's cold. The humidity has been very good for my skin and, once I knew what to do with it, my hair. I'm convinced that the people whose hair gets insane while they're here just need to change their routine a bit and they'll be fine - but with more body than they used to have. =o) No one believes me about our seasons until they come here for a winter. My grandma lives in northern MI but last year she spent her first fall/winter here, and she was shocked when she saw leaves changing in November and then frost/ice in January! She said no one believed her either. Hehe.

Oh yeah, St. Augustine is much better, and not just because I'm a huge beach-lover. (And, especially with Jax beaches, it's awesome because they're so uncrowded compared to Daytona or Miami, but they're just as nice. Well, except right now. I'm betting Miami's water is warmer than 49º!) And if you change your mind? Orlando is only 1.5-2 hours from St. Augustine! It's 2.5 hours from Jax but I've made a day trip of it a few times.

For some reason I thought it was required. Ha! I'm glad it's not, but I'm also glad it's strongly encouraged. It's good for people of our generation and younger to do something that's not at all about us.

[jenny-wildcat.livejournal.com]

Oh my hair! I have naturally curly hair and it took me a while to get it to do anything except frizz out. But I figured it out ^_^

A lot of people think missions are absolutely required. I'm glad I didn't have to go and that it was my choice whether I went or not. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't go. Now that I've done it, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

She'll be on O'Reilly first on Tuesday.

Good for Sarah! Whether she runs in 2012 or some other time, this is a creative way to get her message out there and let her define who she is instead of the MSM.
