		<description>My name is Brandon and I have written a couple of times to some stuff you wrote. 
First, I just want to say that I don&#039;t mean to come off as weird but I just wanted to say that I never met a girl who was so into pop culture like you.Maybe that is stupid to say, but it&#039;s pretty much true. 

I really wish that there were some way to get to know you but there isn&#039;t; I mean I&#039;m on thje east coast and you&#039;re like in mountain time which is like bizzaro world for me. 

If this is like a stalkerish thing I am doing, I&#039;m sorry; if it matters, the email I used is not real, so I&#039;m not expecting a response from you. 

I just wanted to let you know I think you&#039;re pretty and and awesome and this will be the last time I write to you, I promise. 

Anyway, bye and have an awesome to the max life.

		<description>The saga continues...

Now &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alec-baldwin/palin-on-isnli-what-did-y_b_136186.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin has weighed in&lt;/a&gt; on the Palin appearance:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Saturday Night Live is a comedy show. It&#039;s not Meet the Press. It doesn&#039;t &quot;ask the tough questions&quot; or &quot;set the agenda.&quot; It attempts, with varying degrees of success, to make people laugh. That&#039;s it. Whether they skewer and savage people in order to do so, they don&#039;t care. When you come on a show like that, you are prepared in advance to get worked over. Palin knew that. Palin came on to be a good sport. And she was. She was polite, gracious. (More so than some of the famous actors who come through there, believe me.)

However, I assume that, like Meet the Press, SNL feels an obligation to offer their special forum to any and all public figures and officials who are current. Headline making. And in SNL&#039;s case, would make for a hit show. Several people decried SNL for giving her a spot on the show. You&#039;re kidding, right? The woman is the Vice Presidential nominee of one of the two major parties in this country. Don&#039;t put her on SNL? With all of her exposure and the Tina Fey performance? What reality are you in?

If you think an appearance on Saturday Night Live would sway voters and actually effect the outcome of the election, you may have more contempt for the electorate of this country than the Republican National Committee does. And that&#039;s a lot of contempt.

		<description>Check out what SNL alum Chevy Chase had to say about She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named&#039;s performance this weekend:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.accesshollywood.com/chevy-chase-big-mistake-to-let-sarah-palin-on-snl_article_11763&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.accesshollywood.com/chevy-chase-big-mistake-to-let-sarah-palin-on-snl_article_11763&lt;/a&gt;

Some choice quotes:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
Quite frankly, it’s a big mistake to let her go on,” Chevy told Access Hollywood at the Give Food a Chance benefit in New York. “What was brilliant about [‘SNL’ chief] Lorne [Michaels] was that he had nothing written for Sarah and that apparently she cannot improvise herself out of a paper bag!”

...

The management behind McCain’s campaign has been dumb. This has only helped accentuate the problem of his judgment in choosing, in such a cynical way, a candidate like Sarah Palin for vice president. I think the last thing that they would want right about now is to have the rest of America knowing all that… to have her be seen on ‘SNL,’ certainly never there. If anything, you just want her to be seen just from a distance.”

“I’m sure she’s very bright,” he added. “But so is the Butterworth woman.”
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
