Hot on the heels of yesterday’s release of  the Sarah Palin autobiography, “Going Rogue: An American Life”,  a bombshell has hit the rumor mill.

Speculation has been running rampant that the former Alaska Governor will allegedly pose for Playboy magazine in what can only be described as a surprising move for this 45 year old mother of five.

“It’s a no brainer if you think about it,” said political insider Joel Kaazi during a high profile book release party for “Going Rogue” yesterday in Los Angeles.

“She’d net millions for a Playboy photo shoot and it would raise her profile higher than absolutely anything else she could do right now.

“Let’s face it, she’s America’s number one MILF and with Newsweek running their latest issue with Palin in sexy jogging shorts, I think the line in the sand has already been crossed.”

But not everyone is rushing to welcome the move, a gamble which is seen by some as political suicide.

“I can’t even tell you what I thought of when I heard talk of a possible Playboy photo spread, I was just mortified,” said Eleanor Partridge, head of the influential Partridge Institute, a right-wing think tank in Boise, Idaho.

“Mrs Palin has been an inspiration to conservatives ever since she stood up to those Godless Democrats in the Presidential debates but nudity? I simply can’t believe there is any truth to this at all.”

With the GOP on the rise but still stigmatized by eight years of the Bush Administration, some see this possible move by the media savvy Palin camp as a way to make a fresh start as an Independent leading up to a possible run for President in 2012.

New Late Night TV Show “Dueling Stools” Set For Fall Lineup August 16, 2008

Every evening in bars and taverns across America, hot topics are debated with great passion and a fledgling TV network is banking on turning that gusto into ratings gold with the overnight program “Dueling Stools”, as part of their initial fall lineup.

“We know our demographic for the early morning hours are young and have a lot to say,” said XTV spokesperson Tim Tottle. “They feel under represented in the television media but with our new offering ‘Dueling Stools’, we think that target audience will find common ground with a show that honestly captures the imagination of young people across the USA.”

The network selected relative unknown Michael “Buddo” Holleran to host the show, largely on the strength of the 21 year old’s big numbers on his MySpace page, famous for it’s tagline “Shut Yer Face!”

“We’ve seen how young people respond to Buddo’s approach and there are thousands and thousands of postings on his site to back that up,” continued Tottle. “We’re confident that will translate to huge numbers once we get the show on the air in September.”

Critics have already sight unseen skewered XTV’s initiative as one that clearly hasn’t been thought through and aren’t giving the new network much credit on the idea.

“Let’s face it, Holleran’s credentials are pretty thin and I can’t see how anyone can put a happy face on this one,” said Gary Shoe, editor of media watchdog site what?.com.

“How can you build a network TV show around a guy who, on his MySpace page, just plays clips of celebrity interviews interspersed with closeups of him shouting ’shut yer face!’? It’s baffling and indicative of XTV’s lack of focus more than any other single thing I can put my finger on.”

But there’s no shortage of sponsors as youth-oriented companies have lined up to buy advertising time for a time slot that generally doesn’t return a profit and in XTV board room, that fact alone has reportedly swept the concept of “Dueling Stools” from concept to reality in less than two weeks.

With a guest line-up that is rumored to include such celebrities as Jessica Simpson, Brad Pitt and possibly even both presidential candidates, feeling is running high at XTV is that “Dueling Stools” could turn a little-known operation into a major success story overnight.

 

Russians Held Off By “Magic Bullets” In Georgia August 15, 2008

As the Russo-Georgian crisis appears to be winding down, sources inside this embattled region have attributed Georgia’s success at slowing the Russian advance to the use of what US intelligence agencies are calling “Magic Bullets”.

An anonymous source inside a right-wing think tank in Capital Hill attributes this still-shadowy new technology to the influx of former Soviet-era scientists that began flocking to Georgia when the republic gained independence from Russia in 1991.

“The Georgians were working for years in the field of Organic Warfare,” said the source. “It was an old program the Soviets discontinued but a lot of the same scientists were drawn to Tiblisi when it was taken up there.”

Initially, the initiative was low-tech, centering around the release near enemy troop concentrations of canned meals containing undetectable chemical compounds which would simulate ecoli poisoning, dysentary and other maladies when consumed.

The digestive disruption efforts of the Georgians was moderately successful against the Azerbijani troops in their conflict of 1993, but it was soon realized that the strategy probably wouldn’t work against a better fed military force such as that of Russia.

“Basically, they realized what wouldn’t work on one end of the target just might work on the other,” said the anonymous source. “We think the Georgians actually used the guiding principals of anti-air missiles, where an explosive projectile homes in on the exhaust of a target, and applied that to their anti-personnel efforts.”

Reports coming out of the area suggest that the Georgian Army may have used specialized artillery guns purchased from the US to lob shells that released altitude-timed payloads of small explosive bomblets high above Russian troop concentrations in the field.

“The weapon didn’t have much effect on tanks or anything else armoured, but it absolutely devastated the average soldier, reducing infantry strength like not much else we’ve seen in the non-nuclear range of weaponry,” continued the source.

It’s not known if the Georgians will share this technology with the Americans but given the friendly relationship between these two countries, it seems likely that terrorist forces in Iraq and Afganistan could find themselves the target of these “Magic Bullets”.

 

New Weapon Unveiled In Georgia’s War With Russia? August 11, 2008

As Russian jets pound enemy targets inside Georgia, the former Soviet republic fights back with new technology as the crisis over South Ossetia becomes deadlier than ever.

Western intelligence sources inside the embattled breakaway region of South Ossetia say that while Russia tries to bring Georgia to it’s knees through an intense bombing campaign, the Georgian military has responded with an unprecedented counter-stroke.

Reports say that the anti-personnel methods which Georgia has employed match the ferocity of Russia’s terror bombing campaign but details of anything are still hard to come by in this embattled territory.

“We don’t know what exactly has turned the tide in some areas for Georgia,” said a European diplomatic source who insisted upon anonymity, “But we do know from reliable satellite surveillance that Russian forces in the region of the Roki Tunnel were driven in a route back into their homeland without any Georgian troops in the vicinity.”

Rumors of this unique retaliation first came to light yesterday as Georgia’s armed forces clashed with Russian backed Abkhazian separatists in the Kodori Gorge, and it’s been widely speculated that this new second front of conflict inspired the desperate response.

Following the Abkhazian success, Georgia reportedly turned it’s technology upon the Russian units assaulting South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali and the Georgian city of Gori, among other areas, but it’s unclear whether the lull in fighting can be attributed to this new development.

Diplomatic initiatives have stalled as the UN Security Council continues to struggle in efforts to organize a coherent response to the crisis.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has reportedly landed in nearby North Ossetia and speculation has centered on the possibility for ceasefire talks but Russian ambassador to Georgia, Vyacheslav Kovalenko, said that peace is not even a possibility until Georgia’s troops leave South Ossetia.

But with the targeting of the oil facility at Poti by Russian ground attack aircraft leaving the Black Sea port a smoking ruin, an enraged Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has vowed to press the claim to South Ossetia at all costs and denounced the aggression of Georgia’s northern neighbor.

The Georgian Army’s ground forces commander Khavali Shevladze vowed to mount a scorched earth policy should a withdrawal be neccessary and puzzling statements attributed to the general could shed light on his country’s new weaponized technology as he warned of an increase in the use of artillery-delivered “suppository bomblets.”
