From Pitbull To Lame Duck - Sarah Palin Quits As Alaskan Governor

That same old politics as usual is something that made Governor Sarah Palin, the once self proclaimed pit bull during presidential campaign season when she was in running for VP with (R) John McCain, quit as governor of Alaska passing the buck to Lt. Governor.

The biggest question is why?  This is what everyone is asking about Governor Palin as it has basically given Governor Mark Sanford his second very small break.  Why Governor Palin?  It has to be more than just being a lame duck, especially after describing herself and a take it home pitbull!

Theories are running wild, but for certain.  The main theory is cover up.  Is there something that the governor wants to cover up as she continuously sees the heat coming down on every other (R) governor…is she next?  “Digging for dirt” is something that Governor Palin says is going on in media and government, and she doesn’t want to be a part of it anymore.  Maybe this is the sole reason.  Maybe not.

Theories numbers two and three - family and that she is truly messed up by all the negative press.  Honestly, it has been pretty bad for her, like her or not.  It’s much to take, however, most of it came from her own mouth when she placed herself out there as if she was going to rule the world through cracking haha jokes.  As far as family is concerned, there is way too much controversy surrounding her family, “in laws”, and the latest putting her baby in the spotlight, Trig.  This really enraged her and could have been the thing to toss her overboard, giving up the role as governor.

All in all, fact is that she is leaving in a month from the role as Alaskan governor.  Surely, there will be a book later and maybe even a movie -several movies - sagas, as the Palin story isn’t over yet by a long shot.  Governor Sarah Palin has something up her sleeves.  There is absolutely no way possible that this “pitbull” giving up without getting something in return.  Highly unlikely.

Nick Cannon - Mariah Carey Obsessed Isn’t Obsessing Over Eminem

Okay so when the song Obsessed was released, it seemed very obvious that the man Mariah Carey was dissin about his obsession with her is Eminem.  Eminem was the perfect match for the song, describing him exactly, right?

Well, there is another story about where the song Obsessed derived according to Nick Cannon, the hubby of the songstress, Mariah Carey.  Nick says that Mariah Carey “is not beefin , she’s a vegetarian and that the song actually came from a line the movie Mean Girls“Art imitates Life” Cannon went on to say as he explained that the concept came from the movie.  Well, that concept turned into a big pimp slap diss on Eminem, but Mariah definitely isn’t obsessing about it, now is she?  Nope…she just has to get her diss on in a shoot dressed as well - Em.  Can’t be a diss now, can it?
