Brooke: If you want to do some hilarious procrastination, go on Amazon.com and
read some reviews of Sarah Palin's book. Here is my favorite one, and
maybe favorite thing written, ever, and I had to re-read the beginning
a couple times before I could figure out if the guy was serious or not:
10 of 25 people found the following review helpful:
Behold our first female president, December 10, 2009
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">By <td>Myles O'Brien (Rhode Island, USA) - See all my reviews
First: Go Sarah!
Second: In this book, written as only a female former Governor of
the great state of Alaska could, we find a treasure trove of smartly
put arguments, of information pertinent to the current goings-on in our
public life, and of Mrs. Palin's vast and easy command of our great
language, English, the language of kings and Presidents and Jesus
himself, our Savior. Sarah can easily be said to be the preëminent
prose stylist in our great nation. With a lightly worn scholarship
derived from years at some of our great nation's best non-elitist
schools, Sarah dispatches barbed bons mots in the direction of her (and
by extension this nation's) enemies: namely, east coast liberal
elitists who worship false idols (the state, arugula, books), elitists
in elitist institutions like our elitist Ivy League universities where
tomorrow's elitists are taught elitism by other elitists while munching
on crackers with elitist French names prepared by elitist cooks taught
in haughty elitist French culinary institutions, and Barack Obama, our
socialist overlord.
You cannot go wrong buying and reading this fine book. It's the
best money I ever did spend, at least until I'm able, finally, to
donate to Sarah's 2012 presidential campaign. Drill, baby, drill!
