From Huffington Post:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care — admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada’s single-payer system.

“We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada,” Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. “And I think now, isn’t that ironic?”

The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada’s health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and ‘death-panel’-like rationing. Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska.

I can’t stand her.

I love that the LA Times, Entertainment Weekly and others mentioned how Clooney was acting. Yea, yea, first female director won…But what was Clooney’s problem?

His rep says Clooney was in on the joke at the beginning, which we all figured out (Baldwin glared at Clooney, Clooney glared back).

But was the excuse for the rest of the show? Clooney didn’t clap at tributes, had a dour look on his face, and just seemed unlike the Clooney we are used to seeing. I guess not everyone can be upbeat at all times. Or that girlfriend is as annoying as she looks.

Today someone asked me if I heard that Corey Haim died. I said I had, and that “I wonder if he’ll make the Oscar In Memoriam montage”. Then I get an email from Friend M who says essentially the same thing. If you remember- Farrah Fawcett was left out of the montage this year (read the explanation here and how it is bunk). And yes, I understand that it might not be the nicest thing to ponder after hearing of someone’s death.

We won’t know what caused Corey’s death until the autopsy report. Corey gained fame starring in The Lost Boys. He was 38.
