The city of San Francisco filed lawsuits challenging Prop. 8's passage, and California Attorney General Jerry Brown says he will fight to defend the legality of the marriage licenses already issued to 18,000 same-sex couples.

Alaska Inquiry Finds that Sarah Palin Abused Powers An investigation by the Alaska Legislature, released this evening, concluded that Sarah Palin abused the powers of the office of Governor of Alaska by pressuring subordinates with the goal of getting her ex-brother-in-law State Trooper Michael Wooton fired. The 236-page report, at the center of "Troopergate," also found that she was within her powers when she dismissed the public safety commissioner, who was the boss of the ex-brother-in-law. The report, which could now have national implications, holds that Palin violated the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act when she exerted pressure, and when she allowed her husband to do so, too.

But the McCain/Palin ticket has dubious associations of its own. One example: Palin's connection to the separatist Alaskan Independence Party, founded by Joe Volgar who died buying explosives and said while alive: "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government."

Tales of Terror from Sarah Palin's Alaska
Tales of Terror From Sarah Palin's Alaska At the Republican convention, Sarah Palin used the quote "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity."

Vanity Fair has compiled some true crime news reports from Alaskan newspapers over the past two weeks that paint a somewhat scarier picture of those small towns. 43 comments
