Television ratings for last night’s show are out.
TLC’s “SARAH PALIN’S ALASKA” DELIVERS 4.96M TOTAL VIEWERS
The premiere of TLC’s Sarah Palin’s Alaska (Sun, Nov 14, 9-10 p.m. ET/PT) garnered a 3.5 HH rating and delivered 4.96M P2+, 1.8M P25-54, 1.1M W25-54, 1.6M P18-49, 4.7M P18+ and 3.9M P35+, according to Nielsen fast nationals.
Sarah Palin’s Alaska is the #1 program launch in TLC history among HH and P2+ delivery, besting the What Not to Wear series launch in 2003, and posting triple digit rating and delivery gains vs. the prior six week prime average, and the 4Q10 to-date prime average.
I watched Sarah Palin’s Alaska (TLC) this Monday morning (recorded on my DVR) and I liked the show.
I watch a whole bunch of television (mostly recorded) including reality shows and found Sarah Palin and her family to be engagingly delightful. Now, this isn’t Survivor or The Apprentice, other Mark Burnett produced shows but fits right in with the TLC genre of family entertainment.
Is the show political?
Why, of course it is and I think you would have to be either naive or a dullard to think otherwise. Sarah, Todd and the children have been brutally portrayed in the Left-leaning media, particularly CBS and NBC. Ridiculed is the word that often comes to my mind.
So, here is a chance for some redemption in the minds of the media. Yeah, Tina Fey will continue to do her mocking portrayal of Sarah “seeing Russia from my house” but will be balanced with a more honest depiction of a woman raisng her family in Alaska.
I have already set a series recording for the remaining seven episodes of Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
Exit question: Will Sarah Palin run for President in 2012?
After watching – who cares?
Sarah has a wonderful family and life.

African-American voters support the Democratic Party over 9:1 in elections and yet when one of their own seek to run for the number two (minority) leadership position in the House, they are asked to step aside for party unity. What a joke.
Rep. James Clyburn says he is in favor of a plan laid out by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in which Clyburn would become assistant leader, a new position that would preserve his No. 3 ranking in the party.
Pelosi is seeking to remain the top House Democrat when they become the minority party next year.
“Should I receive the privilege of serving as House Democratic Leader, I will be very honored to nominate our outstanding colleague, Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, to serve in the number three House Democratic position,” Pelosi said in a letter today to House members. “I will also ask the Caucus to designate that position as Assistant Leader.”
Clyburn sent a follow-up letter today to House Democrats in which he asked them to support Pelosi’s idea.
“It adds an elected Leadership position and maintains a Leadership structure that honors the diversity and fosters the unity of our Caucus,” Clyburn wrote.
A lesson to be learned by Latino voters in the Southwest now that they are supporting the Democrats en block by a 3 to 1 margin?
Politics based on race, looks like a non-starter for the long term health of American politics. Somebody will always be disappointed.

Democrats think they know how to run the insurance industry better than the insurance industry, and they're getting the chance to prove it under ObamaCare. Consider the early returns on its plan to insure Americans denied coverage for pre-existing conditions.
To judge by President Obama's rhetoric, the insurance industry's victims have been wandering the country like Okies in "The Grapes of Wrath." Thus ObamaCare gave the Health and Human Services Department the power to design and sell its own insurance policies. The $5 billion program started in July and runs through 2014, when ObamaCare's broader regulations kick in.

As an RNC member, the choice is yours as the outcome will be determined, in large part, by which party has the resources and the organizational program to prevail.
If you believe that what we have seen at the RNC the past two years is good enough to provide us a victory in 2012 then by all means you should stick with our current leadership and direction.
But if you agree with me that victory in 2012 requires a new set of priorities and new leadership I hope you will consider supporting my candidacy for RNC Chairman.

Kentucky Republican Senator-elect Rand Paul is already making waves in Washington, D.C. with plans to organize either a Senate or bicameral Tea Party Caucus
.
Paul said he’s been chatting with several people from Kentucky about laying down a communications blueprint to keep the grassroots Tea Partiers nationwide in touch with their newly elected senators and representatives about what’s going on inside the Beltway. Paul told The Daily Caller he plans to start by forming a “nucleus” of conservative senators and then reach out to colleagues in the House.

Tea Party Patriots (TPP), a national umbrella organization of local Tea Party groups, is asking its members to call Republican senators and demand that they agree in a caucus vote next Tuesday to forgo all earmarks in the upcoming Congress. In an e-mail to their 134,000 online members headlined, "Our first battle with the newly empowered GOP," the group's national coordinators single out for phone calls the two highest-ranking Republicans in the Senate, among others.

David Kernell, left, leaves the federal courthouse in Knoxville, Tenn., with his attorney Wade Davies Friday, Nov. 12, 2010. Kernell was a University of Tennessee student majoring in economics when prosecutors say he hacked into the Yahoo! e-mail account Palin sometimes used for state business
You remember the FLAP.
Well, today the Sarah Palin e-mail hacker was sentenced to a year in custody.
David Kernell, the former Tennessee student convicted of hacking into Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account, was sentenced on Friday to one year in custody.
Kernell, 22, was convicted earlier this year of misdemeanor computer intrusion and a felony count of obstruction of justice. The jury found him not guilty of a wire-fraud charge and hung on a fourth charge for identity theft, after four days of deliberating.
The convictions carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in custody and a possible fine of up to $250,000. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a sentence of between 15 and 21 months in prison. The government was seeking 18 months, but Kernell’s attorney asked the court to forgo a prison sentence and give his client probation instead.
Kernell was sentenced to one year and one day in custody and three years of probation. Federal Judge Thomas W. Phillips recommended that his sentence be served in a halfway house in Tennessee, although his destination will be determined by the federal Bureau of Prisons. The judge also recommended that Kernell get mental health treatment. According to court filings, Kernell had suffered from depression since the age of 11.
Yeah. Yeah David Kernell is depressed and an idiot to boot.
Should he serve hard time in jail?
Probably not but he should be punished and will be.

Chris, American voters helped by patriots from the Tea Party movement wrested control of the House from the LEFT and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The GOP almost captured the Senate but there will be a number of Democrats and Republican Senators who are up for re-election in 2012 who will heed well the election results of 2010. Plus, there will be new conservative Representatives and Senators who will pave the way (Marco Rubio and Rand Paul come to mind).
As far as earmarks and profligate spending is concerned. Forget about it.
Americans have grown tired of tax and spend and DEBT.
POLS who pork barrel spend like the old days will be retired at their next election – bet the farm on it.
