In another kidney punch for reputable publishing, Sarah Palin's new book is coming out in November. Yet another tacit admission that providing fodder for mockery is, in fact, more lucrative than providing actual intellectual content or social value. Just how pathetic can homo sapiens get before it becomes homo idiota?

"Harper Collins Thursday unveiled the cover art...[which] features a smiling Palin looking straight into the camera while donning a flag pin and flag-studded bracelet."

Heck, Sarah, why not go all the way and get a flag tattooed on your ass? Then we'd all of us REALLY know how much you love your real America and and all about that patriotism, there.

The publisher's summary says, "Written in her own refreshingly candid voice, America By Heart will include selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her-from the nation's founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies."

"Refreshingly candid" presumably means she'll be making up new words left and right (well, mostly right, ha ha). It will be easy to distinguish her bits from the bits by others that have inspired her: the latter will (presumably) be grammatically correct and at least minimally coherent. No doubt Isaiah 49:16 will feature prominently.

Anyone want to take a stab at what her "favorite songs and movies" might be? The mind boggles. Although obviously since she doesn't read she must do SOMETHING with her free time...
