**Written by Doug Powers As I write this, it's raining and I hear thunder in the sky, or it could just be the distant echo of Harleys: WASHINGTON — The sound of motorcycles is filling the streets of Washington this Memorial Day weekend. The group Rolling Thunder is in town for a motorcycle ride and [...] The former governor mingles with bikers on the first top of her East-Coast bus tour There she goes again. Thanks to Symbolman who sent me this. For someone who has incessantly attacked President Obama for using a teleprompter, this is pretty hilarious. I guess Palin couldn't speak directly from her heart to the veteran bikers whose event she hijacked to promote her own brand. Here is the original Reuters picture. Palin's decision to join motorcycle-riding vets in annual parade feeds speculation about her 2012 plans * **VIDEO: Palin Hits the Road** * **Palin Packs Thunderous Punch** * **McConnell: GOP Medicare Plan Still 'On the Table'** "How do you wear all this leather and stay cool?" biker Palin asked another woman The former governor will be back in the spotlight, appearing in Washington for what many consider a step toward a 2012 White House bid What a great combination: Sarah Palin and Rolling Thunder. Memorial Day in Washington, D.C. sounds like it will be a blast. The event is the kick-off for a cross-country bus tour. The Palin family will hit the northeastern corridor first, on a route that will take them to "historical sites that were key to the [...] Sarah Palin made a grand entrance at the Rolling Thunder biker rally on Sunday, as a crush of reporters and bikers swarmed her motorcycle. Avril Lavigne associate Evan Taubenfeld gives Rebecca Black a run for the money with "Starbucks Girl," newly unearthed after it's been percolating for a year. (Pun intended.) It's born to be viral, indeed… Or, to quote the lyrics from another Taubenfeld opus: "It's like Twisted Sister meets Mister Mister/It's like Rolling Thunder meets a Careless Whisper…" America, world, you have been warned… Read and comment. From thedailyswarm.com.

In the week that Ai Weiwei, the artist and activist, was arrested, Bob Dylan was allowed in to play Beijing. Nobody knows for certain why either decision was taken – but that didn't bother the 6,000 people who filed into the Workers' Stadium Arena last night to hear the grandfather of the protest song play his first gig in the land that brooks no dissent. Dylan gigs are famously variable: songs are often transformed beyond recognition. Last night, however, he was singing to the culture ministry's tune: the concert was performed "strictly according to an approved programme", a sign of official nervousness that has persisted since Björk's 2008 Shanghai concert, when she chanted "Tibet! Tibet!" while singing her song Declare Independence. That outburst resulted in a dearth of big-name performers in China. Apart from Beyoncé in late 2009 and Usher in July 2010, they have mostly been B-list acts. Last year, Dylan himself was refused permission to play. Why the change of heart? One former culture minister told the Guardian it ... Today in Palin news: Sarah Palin is launching a nationwide bus tour starting Sunday in Washington, a Palin source has confirmed to POLITICO. The first stop will be at the annual Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally.

Details on the tour are still hazy. As of Friday afternoon, all Palin has said is that she will travel from the Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally in Washington, D.C. on Sunday through New England, visiting "our nation's rich historical sites."

She also plans to visit the Civil War battlefields at Gettysburg and Antietam and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Read full article >> The GOP had better get it together!
