Palin, who has barely left Alaska during the legislative session, is clearly irritated.

Now, of course, the couple has split, their families are feuding, and Johnston has suggested he may sue for custody of their child.
The issue, featuring a mix-and-match cover, hit newstands Friday. Along with the Johnston story, it includes a list of 31 things a man should own and 66 men to emulate. (Levi isn't one of them.)
