Does anyone know why she didn't go through with the book signing? Some more info on that would be great, as the vibe here seems to point to her just screwing her fans for no reason whatsoever.
Maybe one of her kids got really sick so she had to rush home, or maybe she just didn't feel like it tonight and hadn't been made aware of how big of a deal this was to the people who support her. Maybe she did want to do the signing but her handlers messed it up somehow. I just don't feel comfortable blaming everything on Palin with no knowledge of what really happened, just because it's Palin.

You got that backwards. If it were rolled into the total, then it would be hidden. If it is separately listed as a gratuity on the bill, it's out in the open.
^ I agree with Mysling. I think your title is very, very misleading. Calling it a breakthrough is so premature.
Not only that, but breast cancer is already treatable (e.g. herceptin) and think researchers would benefit looking into more difficult cancer cell lines to combat (e.g. cervical).

I live in portland, oregon where this happened, the dad was on the news, and talked about how he was crying. The lady who stayed with the boy is pretty typical of portlanders. It's a great city, not the first time people on the max have helped people when needed. Not enough stories like this in the news nowadays.
>> ^ulysses1904: Michael Moore is such a simpleton. He exemplifies everything I hate about television and mass media and socio-political discussions. And no, I'm not a conservative, I used to like Michael Moore. I bought his "The Awful Truth" series on VHS when it came out. But I now see his movies as cheap, manipulative, over-edited 4-panel comic strips, just like so much of modern mass media.
It was a tragic mistake when the police shot and killed Amadou Diallo. From what I understand his English wasn't all that great and was probably confused with what the cops were telling him to do. He pulls out his wallet and the cop nearest to him starts back-pedaling in panic, as he doesn't know what it is. And the cop trips as he is retreating and falls down violently. The next cop reacts instinctively, thinking the retreating cop sees a gun and is in danger. And he starts firing at Amadou. The other cops respond in kind, thinking that "these guys know something I don't, that this guy is a threat" and they start firing too. It all happened very quickly. Then when they find out it's a wallet and they misread the whole thing they are traumatized and shaken. Quite a different picture than that which I've heard described, which is a comic book image of grinning, evil, trigger-happy racist cops, standing over Amadou in a semi-circle, gleefully pumping bullets into his body and reloading and firing more and giving high-fives and smoking cigars and saying to each other "he got what he deserved for not obeying our orders".
But all these details I've just included wouldn't easily fit on a picket sign or be boiled down to a simple-minded protest chant.
Talk about anti-michael moore propogandistic reaction..
You claim to be an ex-fan of moore. I suggest that if anyone else had made this, you'd be laughing. It's not in the same vein as the stuff you claim to dislike about him, it's just good old fashioned humour.
I watched without bias, and i thought it was very funny. You're definitely anti-michael moore whether you admit it or not.
There's a way to make a point about domestic violence but this seems crass and tasteless based on what I'm seeing. I don't understand what's being said however.

An Accidental killing is still Manslaughter. No matter what color you are wearing at the time.
Are you suggesting that intentionally discharging a firearm at somebodies torso can be reasonably claimed to be an "accidental" cause of death?
