It is the role of the "debate" host to proctor the debate and to call attention to blatant factual falsehoods cited by parties presenting them as facts. That's my take on it.
I agree with most of what you wrote. However, since she doesn't "leave her family out of it", but instead tries to use them as examples of the efficacy of her "worldview" I say they are fair game. They're cashing in, they've put themselves out there; it comes with the territory. Palin and her family are unapolegetic hypocrites and liars and they should be called out on it. For example, Bristol as an abstinence advocate? Really?
So retailers have found a way to sell off all the non-BBCOR bats that are no longer allowed in US Little League/High School/College play. The invisible hand of the market and so on...
Wow. You got them all correct. I am especially impressed that you got Pauline Black and Viv. For the longest time I thought that was Ari Up, but I think you are right. Anyway, it is cool as hell to find someone who really knows this stuff; I thought I might be the last one alive :) That pic is from 1981 - the year I graduated from high school.
