Really? I would have guessed a Mario Andretti racing helmet, but okay.
It was one of those Phil Niekro knuckleballer mitts. Andretti is a 5' 6" runt.

Don't forget-some of the pictures are supposed to involve a hockey stick 
Nude hockey? Doesn't it get too cold for that? Maybe I should start watching hockey...

On Monday night, Levi Johnston went on the Joy Behar Show to talk about his new roll as a "gay icon." Johnston seemed comfortable with the position, despite growing up in Wasilla, where he had "never seen a gay guy."
Behar began the conversation asking Johnston if he "realizes" that he's a gay icon.
"I do, yeah." Johnston said.
Behar pressed on: "someone just told me there's a gay porno movie with a look-a-like of you... how do you feel about all of that?"
Johnston seemed fine with it. "Um... let em do what they're going to do," he said, and added that he doesn't want to do anything he would regret -- possibly implying that that is why he, himself, declined to act in the pornographic film.
Behar asked Johnston again how it feels to be a gay icon from a "conservative background," and observed that he seems "to be very comfortable being a gay icon."
Johnston concurs, though does mention that "growing up in Wasilla... I've never seen a gay guy in Wasilla, i don't think." Johnston continued: "once I started doing all these tours and everything... I just.. you know, they're people too. It doesn't matter to me, more fans, it's great."

Man Arrested for Throwing Tomatoes at Sarah Palin, Police Say
The incident happened during a book signing at the Mall of America in Minnesota.
A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.
Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the station reported.
The unidentified man may face charges for assaulting a police officer, according to the station.

Did Sarah Palin leave Hawaii because there were too many Asians? In the New Yorker review of "Going Rogue," Sam Tanenhaus writes that Palin's father suggested as much to the reporters who wrote "Sarah From Alaska." The account contradicts the former Alaska governor's own description of her reasons for leaving college in Hawaii after only one semester.
Palin, though notoriously ill-traveled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. "Hawaii was a little too perfect," Palin writes. "Perpetual sunshine isn't necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls." Perhaps not. But Palin's father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: "They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, "because it was much like Alaska yet still 'Outside.' "

Did she really redact his name with a black marker? Seriously? I saw that last night..I can't believe that's the level of someone who might be a Presidential candidate.
She knows by now that she'll be photographed when she's on vacation

She couldn't afford a new big giant hat or visor at the hotel shop?
Some of the things she does just baffle me
politico.com
Declaring that she “was honored and proud to run with him,” former Alaska governor Sarah Palin pushed back hard Wednesday against a report that she had disrespected Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) by blacking out his name on a sun visor she wore on vacation.
The website TMZ accused Palin of “a frontal attack on Sen. John McCain” during a Hawaii vacation this week: “Sarah chose to wear a visor from her campaign — a visor that was emblazoned with the former presidential candidate's name ... that is, until Palin redacted McCain's name with a black marker.”
But Palin said in a statement to POLITICO that she was just trying to “be incognito” — to go unrecognized and shield her children and husband, Todd, from paparazzi.
The hotel where she was staying had to chase away five photographers, a friend said.
Palin said in the statement to POLITICO: “I am so sorry if people took this silly incident the wrong way. I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago. So much for trying to be incognito."

Hey Sarah the shirt might have given it away anyway. I don't know how many of those you see on beaches in Hawaii, because unfortunately I've never been there.
In other news Tiger Woods took a black marker to all of these hats today in an attempt to remain incognito. And money might be getting tight these days..no money for different hats. And of course like you wouldn't recognize Sarah anyway you wouldn't recognize Tiger anyway.

If that's true and that's really why she said "can I call you Joe" I just think that's hilarious-that's all. But it ruins everything, I thought it was charming at the time 
(CNN) – Former McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt is revealing new details on just how uneasy campaign aides felt about then-vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's prospects heading into her debate with rival Joe Biden.
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper set to air on 60 Minutes Sunday on CBS, Schmidt said Palin's debate preparations were going so poorly that campaign aides feared the closely-watched debate could prove to be a "debacle of historic and epic proportions."
The interview is part of a preview of the upcoming book "Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime," by political reporters Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.
What was most troubling, according to Schmidt, was the fact Palin repeatedly confounded Biden's name during the preparation process, referring to the then-Delaware senator as Sen. O'Biden. Aides were so worried that such a mishap in the actual debate would prove catastrophic that they advised her to simply refer to her opponent as "Joe."
"It was multiple people – and I wasn't one of them – who all said at the same time, 'Just say, Can I call you Joe,' which she did," Schmidt tells Cooper.

A 5 minute scan of the debate transcript gave me 8 Senator Bidens and one Joe.
Either Steve Schmidt is full of BS and a vindictive prick and CNN is too lazy to do the 5 minutes of research I just did.
Or Sarah Palin is a quick study.

Quick study-she probably just wore a visor the week before with the O in O'Biden crossed out with a black marker
I like that she tried to make Joe even more Irish than he is-or just shorten Joe to O. Either way I like it.
O'Bon-for example

It wasn't about how many times she actually said "Joe" or "Biden", it was that those closest to her were scared of her competance and that her "can I call you Joe" charm wasn't exactly natural.

"Can i call you Joe," was to set up the "say it isn't so Joe" joke later in the debate.
And on Hardball they played a clip of her in the debate actually saying O'Biden once.
YouTube - Palin/Obiden Debate - Senator Obiden or O'Biden?
And it it's not hard to see how it could happen "...Barack Obama and Senator O'Biden..." Obama, O'Biden. Of course they failed to mention the other, at least 7 times, she said "Senator Biden."
Big deal. Bush couldn't say nuclear and President Obama can't say Taliban (Tol-ee-bon).

Maybe in Afghanistan when speaking Dari. Does he pronounce the city of St. Louis as "sahng loo-ee"? It's ok to speak the American version of English.
But screw the Taliban anyway, he ought to purposely mispronounce their name.
Maybe Taliwads.
