The Moderate Voice: I’m going rogue! (And make war on fish)

    What a combined book tour those two would make. She in a moose cap with baseball bat waiting for one of those four-foot jumping carps . Twack, a home run, and saving Lake Michigan from the menace.
    He, bewildered but flummoxed. Perhaps a little training and an underwater electricity generating waterwheel. Either way, got to get in the docu-campaign film and do the clip on: "Fish have feelings, but darn it so the people watching me on SNL (or will it be Tina Fey?)".
    "Oh well, tomorrow we go to NYC to film rats at Taco Bell". "I got a leg up on this one", says he, "they could go to labs for research instead of becoming ratsicles".
    "All, in all, a great book tour", they both said.

    Yes...I wonder what Amazon will recommend you next. Perhaps you'll set their server off into meltdown with a malfunction. As for the animal books..I am always oscillating between the belief that vegetarians are right and then the next day tucking into a big burger. A bit weak I know!

    David,

    When you get far enough through Going Rogue, maybe you could put a quick summary of Palin's political positions as stated in the book. Everything I hear in the media about her is all style and no substance. I hear all about her rabid fanbase and the controversies she has or has not caused but very little analysis as to what she believes.

    Yeah, I guess you could say that I'm lazy in that I could buy and read the book myself.

    On the other hand, I don't think I should have to pay money to learn what a politician believes. Either they state plainly what they believe during their political speeches or debates or they're not worth my time.

    I'll be glad to help out once I've read enough of the book. But is it really free to find out what pols believe? How much do we pay for internet connections? For cable television? Newspaper subscriptions. I believe it was an old WaPo ad whose slogan was "Free specch: 25 cents". Amazingly, that's what the paper cost in the first years of this decade.
