Pardon me if I want to go screaming into the night at the idea that she got over one million dollars for a book she for dictated and some poor schlub wrote for her – that’s more than I’ll make in a lifetime of actually writing my own stuff which is way better than hers… except, of course, I can’t quite wink like she does.

Will Sarah win the contest tonight for the most imitated person on Halloween? Her masks sure seem to have been selling out like crazy. And god are some of them butt ugly! Even Sarah deserves a better mask than that.

Electric cars will work in Alaska
Just about the same time that Sarah Palin was opining in the Oct. 16 National Review that, “Electric cars might work in Los Angeles, but they don’t work in Alaska, where you can drive hundreds of miles without seeing many people, let alone many electrical sockets,” I was drafting some material for Ilisagvik College in Barrow.

Plane travel
Those of us of a certain age can remember when plane travel was considered glamorous. Only the rich could do it. You were served like royalty, even in coach. Your bags went along for free.
