That is, if you believe the story floating around about the former Alaskan governor and failed vice presidential candidate.
A Palin biography says she had a one-night stand with retired NBA player Glen Rice, who was a Charlotte Hornet from 1995-1998.
“Publishing sources familiar with the contents of author Joe McGinniss’ highly-anticipated book ‘The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin’ have revealed shocking secrets that will impact her decision to enter the 2012 presidential race. In the book, which will be published on September 20th, McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud Glen Rice less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd. Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU. A publishing source told The Enquirer that McGinniss claims Sarah had a ‘fetish’ for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had ‘hauled (Rice’s) ass down.’ … In the book, McGinniss quotes Rice as confirming the one-night stand.”
Talk about reinventing yourself.

In The Next Room, nominated for a Tony Award in 2010, is about the accidental invention of the best sex toy ever. Set in the Victorian era, this play focuses on the discovery of the female orgasm — which, at that time, was thought to be the treatment for hysteria.
“We’ve done a coupled of Sarah Ruhl shows, and she has a voice that speaks to our aesthetic. We enjoy what she says and how she says it," says Chip Decker, ATC's artistic director. "Whenever she has a new piece out there, we’re always on the pulse. She has a way with words, and we love that about her.”
Ann Marie Costa, the show's director, says the play looks at a doctor’s relationship with his wife and the satisfaction he gives to other women in the next room with his treatments. “This is based on historical fact," she says. "In the 1880s, when electricity came out, a doctor started to use vibrators to relieve the congestion in the womb for hysteria. The doctors were doing it for pure medical reasons. They believed the way to relieve these women of being anxious and having anxiety was to release the fluid in that area.”
Of course, now we call it, getting off, busting a nut, climaxing, coming and so on.

Cynthia Daily and her partner used a sperm donor to conceive a baby seven years ago, and they hoped that one day their son would get to know some of his half siblings - an extended family of sorts for modern times.So Daily searched a Web-based registry for other children fathered by the same donor and helped to create an online group to track them. Over the years, she watched the number of children in her son's group grow. And grow.
Today there are 150 children, all conceived with sperm from one donor, in this group of half siblings, and more are on the way. "It's wild when we see them all together — they all look alike," said Daily, 48, a social worker in the Washington area.
As more women choose to have babies on their own, and the number of children born through artificial insemination increases, outsize groups of donor siblings are starting to appear. While Daily's group is among the largest, many others comprising 50 or more half siblings are cropping up on websites and in chat groups, where sperm donors are tagged with unique identifying numbers.
Concern is growing among parents, donors and medical experts about potential negative consequences, including the possibility that genes for rare diseases could be spread more widely through the population. Some experts note the increased odds of accidental incest between half sisters and half brothers, who often live close to one another.
So, when are we going to start being more like the French?
Although other countries, including Britain, France and Sweden, limit how many children a sperm donor can father, there is no such limit in the United States. There are only guidelines issued by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, a professional group that recommends restricting conceptions by individual donors to 25 births per population of 800,000.
This is just nasty.
