So, there's a thing on the teevee about Palin's book Going Rouge. Around 400 pages, all of it in her own words, everybody's amazed that she's managed to finish something, etc, etc. Apparently she'd moved her whole family, after her resignation, to San Diego, so she could write, non-stop and without distractions, which is why the book was finished so quickly. The tag, at the end of the story? She moved them all to San Diego, to the home of her GHOSTWRITER. Does NO ONE in the media understand, exactly, what, y'know, > is? Give me a ghostwriter and I could crank out 400 pages in a few weeks, too. Hell, give me Neal Marshall Stevens as my ghostwriter and I could prolly do it in a couple of DAYS.

They know how to construction grammatically correct and complete sentences. Most of them. Mysti

""Steven J. Weller"" "So, there's a thing on the teevee about Palin's book Going Rouge." "And, after her stint as President, she can sit in the glowing embers of Washington and dictate the follow-up: "Staying Rogue."" Unfortunately that won't be far from the truth if President Obama continues to support Senator Max "Insurance-Company-" Baucus' "health reform" bill. The day Senator Baucus introduced it, the stock shot up for all seven major insurance companies in the United States. No reform, no control, no competition and everyone gets forced to buy health insurance. The insurance companies will be celebrating President Obama as the new Moses, for taking them to the promised land. And their thought on forced theft of private citizens to pay private insurance corporations? "Manna from heaven, baby, manna from heaven!"
