Her voice sounds like music to my ears. So why was I surprised by this latest revelation about the amazing Sarah Palin? One of the all-time classic music videos shows a very young Aretha Franklin, circa late 1960s, as she sings “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.” Watch — and enjoy — the video. But watch Aretha’s lips as she [...]

Some of you have asked if I was surprised when Sarah Palin became governor of Alaska and then ran for vice president of the United States and then became a Fox News commentator. Was I surprised? You betcha! I mean, who wouldn’t be surprised? After all, this is little Sarah Palin, the cute and spunky [...]

I don’t know about all of you, but I haven’t been able to break away from watching the live hearings being televised on C-SPAN as Alaska legislators debate the proposal to rename their state in honor of Sarah Palin. The debate, in case you haven’t been following this, isn’t over whether to change the state’s [...]

Note: Traffic on this site soars whenever I mention Sarah Palin. So I’ve decided to write something about her at least once a week. Here’s this week’s Sarah Palin report: Faithful readers of “World of Wonders” know that I posted several entries in recent weeks about the Feb. 20 grand opening of friend Steven Hart’s [...]

Sarah rises to the occasion
Note: Traffic on this site soars whenever I mention Sarah Palin. So I’ve decided to write something about her at least once a week. Here’s this week’s Sarah Palin report: She’s been a mayor. She’s been a governor. She’s been a candidate for vice president. She may try to become the actual president. And she’s [...]

Sarah Palin to the rescue!
One of the highest-traffic days ever for “Nicholas DiGiovanni’s World of Wonders” was a day during the presidential campaign when I wrote a satirical piece suggesting that Sarah Palin’s presence on the GOP ticket as the vice-presidential candidate was actually the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation’s apocalyptic vision as described in the secret message [...]

OK. I admit it. My name is Nicholas D. and I am addicted to continually checking to see how many daily, weekly and monthly visits have been recorded by the ever-increasing legion of fans who faithfully read World of Wonders. OK. I’m indulging in a bit of hyperbole. “Legion” might be a stretch and “fans” [...]

The Federation of Light
It’s all starting to fit together, like one big preordained Zen puzzle, like a good mystery with a surprise twist that you never suspected but makes absolutely perfect sense in retrospect. It started when I read an article about a worldwide marathon reading of the Bible, starting with the Pope intoning “In the Beginning…” all [...]

Pale horse, pale rider, Palin
The end is near. It’s got to be. If it isn’t, then why is the Pope on television kicking off a weeklong, worldwide marathon reading of the Bible? And why is Sarah Palin actually being taken seriously as a vice presidential candidate? I say expect the pale rider on the pale horse any minute now. Am [...]

Moose hunting
Many people have asked if I managed to spot any moose during my recent sojourn in the Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont, way up north where many of the roadsides have these signs that say MOOSE CROSSING. Well, truth is, that whole week in Vermont I spotted only one moose, which was standing along [...]
