Newfoundland Dogs Rule Glad to hear it wasn't cancer and pray you will will get thru this.;I also pre ordered the book when it was first mentioned.I am not fond of reading non fiction but found as with the last few I bought this fall once I started I could not stop..I also kind of put it out their that the bots should read this book as it gives the other side and is not for the most part one sided.IMO It is also not a palin bashing book despite it's name.I went to a site I know they read at and gave the name and how to order it and told them if someone read palins book they should also read this one and get some perspective.

Palin might be surprised to learn that the hospital she is fundraising for runs counter to her professed beliefs:

– [b]St. Peter’s Hospital performs abortions. Palin, a staunch anti-choice zealot, has protested outside of abortion clinics and has refused to denounce abortion clinic bombers as terrorists.[/b]

– St. Peter’s Hospital, through its Centre for Studies in Aging, offers “advanced directives.” Palin tried to derail health reform earlier this year by falsely labeling advanced directive reimbursements as “death panels.”

AKM & Shannyn's masterpieces are worth the price all by themselves. What I'm finding most interesting about the book is not the light it shows on Sarah Palin, but who her supporters are and why she appeals to them. Combine that with certain chapters from What Hath God Wrought [a history of the US from 1815-1848] and a rather scary picture emerges. That era ended in the Civil War. If history doesn't repeat itself, but echoes, we face some frightening times. But then, don't we always? Spent another evening skipping around in Going Rouge.

I went to the Elmendorf AFB base exchange store today, after hearing on the local Anchorage news that $arah will do a book signing event this Sunday (13th) afternoon. I saw the pile of her books on a display table right inside the entrance. Picked up a book, taped a correct-sized picture of the Going Rouge cover over the regular book cover, set the modified book standing up next to the "real" one on top of the table-full of her books, and grabbed a Blackberry photo, with the sign advertising the upcoming book signing date in the background. This is sort of like the Brian-in-the-photo pics AKM has collected, but I unfortunately did not have Brian or his clone handy to be in the picture. Here's hoping AKM gets my email of the photo and can post it for a chuckle. The Elmendorf signing will not be open to the general public, just those with regular base access. Sorry, I don't think I can stand to wait around all morning for a five-second thrill... (I was thinking, as I'm sure others have, it would be fun to slip her book jacket over Going Rouge, and get her to sign the "alternate", but someone mentions up above that the handlers are already beating that game by taking your book and giving you another signed official one, so it would be a bust!!)
