Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has revealed that her unwed teen daughter Bristol, who gave birth to son Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Saturday, and her fiance Levi Johnston are working hard to balance schoolwork with their new parental obligations.

Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has apologised to folks in her hometown Wasilla for the burning of a church that she visited frequently. The building was burnt late Friday night and early Saturday morning.

Palin''''s spokesperson, Bill McAllister, issued a statement on her behalf after she visited the church on Saturday.

Tina Fey has no regrets over her impersonation of Sarah Palin on ‘Saturday Night Live.’

"I never did feel that we were mean to her," the New York Post quoted Fey, as telling Barbara Walters on "The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008.”

"We stuck to a lot of things that she herself had said, and I think there is a very strange double standard because it''s a woman portraying another woman . . .

“The jokes we used to do about George W. Bush were that he was an idiot.

“The jokes were aggressive. No one would ever stop and say, ''Oh, that seems kind of mean,'' " she added. (ANI)

Palin’s flash emergence on the national stage has left her as well positioned as any Republican to make a serious run for the GOP nomination in 2012, reports Politico.

Yyet waning support from the political center may threaten her presidential ambitions, according to a Politico analysis of public polling.

"When I arrived at the convention, there were clothes waiting for me, and clothes being ordered for me and the family, for eight of us," Fox News quoted the Alaska Governor as having told Greta Van Susteren, in an interview scheduled to air Monday night.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been turned into a calendar girl by one of her friends, who has served as her as Deputy Mayor in Wasilla.

Judy Patrick’s calendar shows Palin as posing with a gun, and included dozens of her pictures clicked while she was on the job and at home with her family.

In one of the images, Palin is wrapped in the American flag, with a sidebar of pictures of her and her children.
