Sarah Palin, Star of 2008's Republican National Convention, Won't Speak at This Year's

Sarah Barracuda.

"This year is a good opportunity for other voices to speak at the convention and I’m excited to hear them," wrote Sarah Palin in a statement on Fox News host Greta Van Susteren's blog. Those other voices will include tea-party senate candidate Ted Cruz, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the person who helped deliver Palin from Alaska to the national stage at the Republican National Convention on September 3, 2008 — John McCain.

It's not entirely clear if she sought a speaking role, didn't like the time slot the RNC offered, or decided on her own that she'd be better off elsewhere than as a sideshow to Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. A party official tells Buzzfeed that Palin was invited to speak. Said Chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus, "Gov. Palin has been a force in our party and while I am disappointed she won't be in Tampa I know she will continue to be actively engaged in replacing Barack Obama."

Harry Reid Heard From Some Guy That Mitt Romney Didn’t Pay Taxes for Ten Years

What's Mitt Romney hiding in his tax returns? Harry Reid finally figured it out:

Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.

"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.

"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid.

Oh, wait, did we say "figured it out"? We meant "heard an insane rumor from a guy who has seemingly no way of knowing anything about Mitt Romney's taxes." Awesome scoop, Harry Reid.

Ann Pettway Gets Twelve Years for Baby-Stealing

A child named Carlina White was taken from a Harlem hospital when she was just 19 days old and raised for more than two decades by her kidnapper as Nejdra "Netty" Nance (left). Today, Nance's not-mom Ann Pettway was sentenced to twelve years in prison for the bizarre crime despite prosecutors request for a twenty-year sentence. "It should have been longer," said Nance's biological father, while her birth mother was more resigned. "It's not going to make up for the time she was gone," said Joy White, "so it doesn't matter how much they give her."
