Did you hear she is shopping for a book deal? She can't even talk.  I am so tired of non-writers (i.e., Joe the Plumber, etc.) being paid to write.

This is one case where even "By Sarah Palin, as told to Professional Writer" would still be unreadable.  I'm curious to see how a publisher would handle it.

I wonder if everyone understands the more we click on links to stories about her and the more we watch her on television (to tear her apart) fuels and inspires the machine to give you more of what you love.

I am actually ready for her to go away and I am concertedly behaving in the ways that make that more likely to happen.

Thank you for modeling wise choices, Tina Fey.  I will (probably) watch your show.

I have been wondering what Bill Kristol's next writing project would be.

Yeah, it would have been bad if the season had only been 158% funnier than expected.

Don't you mean, by Sarah Palin, as reported by the one who, well, you know the way we do things in Wasilla and then I think storytellers like me just want to get the media out of the way, and then he said he would report without any media filter?

From Salon, an organization has actually made a commercial thanking her for running and introducing all sorts of positive elements to the election.
