SNL's Feylin Still Funny; Miley Cyrus in Disneyland
![[image]](http://mowser.com/img?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogs.com%2FWindowsLiveWriter%2FSNLStillFunwithFeylinMileyCyrusinDisneyl_AC66%2Fclip_image002%255B2%255D.jpg)
Tina Fey and SNL kicked the ratings again on Friday night, as 10 million viewers tuned in to watch Fey's Sarah Palin in the mock VP debate. Deadline Hollywood Daily has the clip and Celebridiot calls it "by far the funniest sketch SNL has done in years." Buddy TV agrees that SNL "is best doing biting political satire." Palin joked to Politico that her gaffes in the Katie Couric interviews provided "job security to SNL writers. . . . I was just trying to keep Tina Fey in business," and Gothamist reports that Palin may actually appear on SNL herself.

It's on! The second annual DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge is live, with bloggers competing to raise money. DonorsChoose.org is a site that allows teachers to register for classroom items they need; Techland says "techies love Donorschoose.org." because it's "part tech and part business with a strong do-gooding bent." They predict the competition will "get rough, and hilarious." The DonorsChoose.org blog notes that "Titans of the Web have tossed their hats into the ring. TechCrunch, Engadget, BoingBoing, AVC, Silicon Valley Moms Blog, BoomTown, Apartment Therapy, and other top bloggers have created giving pages on DonorsChoose.org listing their favorite classroom project requests," but says smaller bloggers shouldn't worry: The challenge "is about the engagement and generosity of your readers, not the number of your readers."
