15 Reasons Digg Loves Sarah Palin
Who the Hell is Sarah Palin? I’m sure I wasn’t the only one asking that with the word that she was chosen as John McCain’s running mate. I decided to Digg around a little and find the best stories about our new soccer mom pal, Sarah Palin. If you don’t know much about her, you will after reading this list. So grab a sack of mooseburgers, throw out your birth control, and relax as we spend more time learning about her than John McCain ever did. These stories were all pulled from Digg, and are the stories with more than 3000 Diggs.
How about we start with a video. This isn’t as much about Palin as it is about hilarious. This is two conservative commentators on MSNBC, after they’re off the air, saying what they really think about the veep choice. Pure gold!

Huffington Post - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth. Read the rest of the story…

6 Questions to Ask Yourself to Get the Most Out of Life
From ZenHabits:
I love reading lists of things to do before you die, but after reading several of these lists, I’ve realized that each list is a very personal thing. It can only apply to the writer of the list, and not to all human beings in general. No such list can do that.
And think about this: if you’re trying to follow a list of things to do before you die … trying to check things off the list, just to say you’ve done it … what’s the point, really? To be able to tell people you’ve done it? To follow the life prescription of some writer?
I won’t try to tell you what to do before you die … but I will suggest some questions to figure out how to live … right now. Each and every day.
Because you never know how much time you have left, and trying to cram a list of things into that unknown time can be futile. Instead, live every day to the fullest. Get the most out of life.
