“A superb collection . . . an engaging read from start to finish. . . . You will read far more about the real Sarah Palin in Going Rouge than you ever will in her own memoirs.” — Geoffrey Dunn, The Huffington Post

This is the REAL Sarah Palin book. Don’t be fooled by the poor substitute put out By Sarah Palin’s own writing staff.

The idiot queen’s new book can’t hold a candle to the truth.

Speaking of Sarah Palin’s book, here’s an insightful Amazon.com review of that flatulent work of self flattery:

5.0 out of 5 stars Ain’t afraid of no Vietcong king, November 17, 2009
By Gen. JC Christian, patriot (Tremonton, UT United States) - See all my reviews

There are many kinds of truth. There are truths based on facts, truths based on faith, and truths based on something that sounds as if it should be true (truthiness). Then there’s the kind of truth we find in Sarah’s book: stories and concepts that become truths simply because she states them. She’s a lot like our Lord and Savior, Glen Beck, in that respect.

Sometimes, she states truths that would be considered ludicrous if uttered by someone else. Her claim that the McCain campaign forced her to spend $150,000 in RNC funds to dress her family in designer clothes is one example of that. Although it might be easier to believe that she acted like a trailer park Zsa Zsa who’d found a credit card left behind at a possum feed, she blames McCain staffers. That’s good enough for us, because we have faith; we want to believe her truths.

But the book isn’t perfect. As much as I enjoyed the few short paragraphs in which Mrs Palin laid out her policy objectives, she could have condensed it all into one sentence: “I’m going to grab an Oxo Good Grips Stainless Serving Spatula and go all mavericky on your non-white, non-Christian and non-heterosexual butts.”

The book also fails to expose Mrs. Palin’s intellectual brilliance and keen grasp of foreign policy issues. Why wasn’t the text of her recent speech in Hong Kong included? Although it remains secret, it’s rumored that she viciously rebuked the Vietcong king for his assault on the Empire State Building. That’s a speech we’ve been waiting for nearly 75 years to hear. It’s big news and should have been included.

As you read other reviews of this book, please remember that Mrs. Palin has many enemies who are eager to pan her work. The Palin family’s most potent nemesis, Levi’s johnston, is no dpubt fully erect and ready to spew globs of misfortune upon them for a third time. And reason-adoring intellectuals are certain to point out that an interview on Good Morning Topeka doesn’t qualify as a policy summit in the Far East.

But a few bad reviews won’t stop her. She’s seen much worse from her kitchen window. It can’t be pleasant to gaze upon Antichristograd every morning as you brew your coffee.

My review isn’t complete, but I think I’ll quit anyway, because writing reviews, like governing, is just too darned hard to finish.

I agree. Our underlying problem is inequity and lack of government planning and regulation. Without a strong minimum wage, corporate regulation, and a strong monetary policy, we will not have prosperity and wealth for any but the few multi-millionaires at the top. What we will have if we do not re-regulate business and the economy is a continual erosion and economic free-fall for the majority of us– the workers and employees who actual produce the product that the GNP is based on. We will also continue to suffer a government “of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.” OK, I guess that’s not quite accurate. It’s more like “a government of the corporate piratical elite, by the corporate piratical elite, and for the corporate piratical elite.”

By this I am referring to predator corporate pirates*, having no allegiance to any one corporation, considered and considering themselves as silk-suited, Gucci-clad corporate super-stars, able to lead corporations into higher stock values and hang the expense; able to command huge salaries, bonuses, and contract termination fees with only the promise that they will strive to raise the stock value for the other sharks feeding frenzy, only to move on when that corporation falters or has been sucked dry. Corporate piratical predator elite who, having their personal wealth creation now independent of any single corporation, are no longer fettered with loyalty to any single corporation or to corporations in general. Corporations are now just part of the herd to slaughter and feed off of as needed to rake in as big a personal pile as possible. Predators who have long determined that the government is the fattest steer in the lot, and have been spending and continue to spend the bulk of their attentions and efforts to twist it around to their bidding. Who work with a single-minded doggedness that huge piles of individual wealth allows, to infiltrate and subvert the governments real and valid role as a buffer between these pirate elites and the huge corporations they steer and the rest of us– the regular “Joe-workers/employees/small business owners/entrepreneurs/contractors,etc.”

And so they strive. Not for any public good. Not for fiscal responsibility. Not for Family Values. Not for Christian values. But only for their own single-minded, to-hell-with-anyone-else Darwinian greed.

A government of the corporate piratical predator elite, by the corporate piratical predator elite, and for the corporate piratical predator elite.

*read “The Predator State,” by James K. Galbraith for a far more lucid discussion of this idea.

“Ok so its an orchid. Yea, who knew. I didn’t. Anyway its the only orchid that grows as a vine. It flowers and then the flower dies and produces the pod. Its also the only orchid to produce “fruit” in the form of the pod. You can grow them from a cutting of the vanilla orchid. Darn if I could find a US vendor to buy one from. I’m going to keep looking. 

Now orchids are tricky things. I have one that I have had great success with. A regular flowering one. The trick is to think rain forest. So yes it wants light but, indirect light. And yes it wants water but, not to be sitting it water. It has air roots so they will rot. Yes it wants lots of humidity. A tray under the pot with water in it solves this. So the bathroom with indirect light from the window is perfect. Which in my bathroom I have a sky light so it works really well. Here’s the problem the vanilla orchid will get vines up to 25 feet long. A lot of plant in a bathroom. I’m thinking you could do something outside but, it might get too cold for the plant in the winter. Maybe you could just tie the vines around and around the bathroom. The flower is really pretty. And then all that wonderful vanilla! Once a year. That’s how often they bloom.

Oh and the flowers have to be manually pollinated. That’s why the darn things are so expensive because its labor intensive.”

Thanks, P.D.!
I had totally forgotten about the vanilla bean mystery. Thanks for resolving it. Maybe you can bonsai the plant by trimming it’s roots or something?…
