A Different Take on Boom and Bust

As long-term observers of the economy know, it's not easy to pinpoint the beginning and end to booms and busts in the economy.

To sort of  pove the point, Gawker has wheeled out the big question: "Did Sarah Palin get a boob job?" Even in this type of bust analysis, the answer is not entirely clear, even though Gawker seems to try and analyze the situation from every angle.

Perhaps Mike in Alaska, who has seen Sarah up close, can provide some insightto this matter,  in the comment section.

Sarah Palin Stars in New Rand Paul Commercial

The CNN PoliticalTicker reports:

The former Alaska governor is appearing in a new ad for Rand Paul, a physician and the son of former GOP presidential candidate and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Rand Paul is battling Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson for their party's nomination.

In the television commercial, the narrator says "Paul's conservative approach has the support of Sarah Palin."

The ad then uses an audio clip of the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, who backed Paul earlier this year, endorsing the candidate. "He wants limited government. I respect that and I'm proud to support him," Palin is heard saying.

The television commercial follows a radio ad with Palin that's been in circulation in Kentucky for a couple of weeks, according to the Paul campaign
