It’s apparently big news how much money was spent for vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s new campaign wardrobe. I am not saying that $150,000 isn’t a lot of money to spend on clothes, but it does seem that the world has higher fashion standards for women than it does for men. If Joe Biden wears [...]
