Since she finished the book early, perhaps her original contract was for 533 pages. (But no one can say she stinted on the length of her China speech.) Sarah quit 75% of the way through her term.

I know it's distastefully presented (the definition is sexually explicit). But it needs some more "thumbs up" so that it is continually referenced in regards to Palin's book title for the next 6 weeks...

It's gotten progressively worse since high school since I type everything. I'm a touch typist and can type approx. 70 wpm. I can do calligraphy. It forces me to slow down and really form the letters. But I rarely have my pen with me. Put a ballpoint in my hand and forget it. Even I can decipher what I've written after a few hours. Pencil? Look for all caps. And pretty big too. I'm not signed up for the forum so can't PM. I guess I'll just pass on this. Just as well. No one would be able to make out my signature anyway. My handwriting is just awful.

Aren't we already strong, independent and free? Earth to Palin. What Palin wants is for women to be FREE from having choices. She wants a STRONG "Christian" government that abolishes INDEPENDENT thinking.....it's her way or the highway. @66 Lilybart, I thought the same thing.

When they have to resort to that, then they have no argument. I left a short comment for that reader. Ah yes, I just saw it. When they have to resort to that, then they have no argument.

I also read the comments & for some reason think comment #24 is from sarah or most likely meg stapletongue.
