Exotic dancer Stripper Kimberlee Ouwroulis filed a complaint against a Gentleman's Club strip joint in Toronto because she claims she was let go due to her age. She started stripping at 40 after a nasty divorce, was doing well monetarily, and had regular customers. But one day, her boss said, "Your time is up here." (Click here for her account.) I don't doubt that there were customers who preferred her looks and age, but I also don't doubt that stripping is mostly a young woman's game. What I find incredible is the hysterical conversation that comes up over this in this Fox News clip. First, anchor Megyn Kelly gets wished "Happy Birthday" and says, "Thankfully I'm not yet 44!" (Isn't that a tad inappropriate given the subject?) Then, the Fox News legal analyst says that if Ouwroulis's boss merely made "just one remark, that's not discrimination." Ummm, wha? "You're too old, scram!" isn't discrimination? I didn't go to law school, but that doesn't sound right. What does all of this bring up for you all? About stripping? Age? Fox News? Etc.? Sound off in the comments below.

TV journalists have been striking the Sarah Palin iron while it's hot. Last night FOX News aired Palin's first postelection interview, after Greta van Susteren traveled to Alaska to debrief with Palin. And this morning, Sarah's chat with Matt Lauer aired on the Today show.

Speaking with Greta, Palin indicated that she would leave the decision to run for president in 2012 up to God. She said:

Faith is a very big part of my life. And putting my life in my creator's hands — this is what I always do. I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door. . . . And if there is an open door in (20)12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door.

And regardless of her propositions for 2012, Palin believes the 2008 campaign trail wrapped up without any bitter loose ends. She told Matt Lauer this morning that: “I have nothing but honor and admiration and love for him and for his family. And I think that that is mutual. In fact, I talked to him just today, again — and [we’re] touching base nearly every day."

Now that the election is one week behind us, do you think we can put Sarah Palin behind, or has her time in the spotlight just begun?
