Sarah Palin’s book is already number one at Barnes and Noble (edited later in the day to say it is number one at Amazon as well). I wonder if all 1.5 million copies will be pre-sold before the book is even released.
“Sarah Palin burst onto the political scene at the height of the 2008 presidential campaign and overnight became a national sensation. Adored by the right, bitterly reviled by the left, she is the most polarizing figure to emerge in American politics in decades. Yet for all the dirt digging and gossip that has surrounded her, very little is actually known about who she is, what she believes, and above all, about her plans for the future. In her new book, Sarah Palin tells the story of her Alaskan upbringing, her marriage and family life, her political career, her religious beliefs, and her meteoric rise to national prominence. With her customary blunt common sense, she sets the record straight about the many myths and lies that have been spun around her and lays out her vision for an America that is strong, independent, and free.”

“…It will describe Ms. Palin’s frustration over her treatment by the staffers she inherited from the McCain campaign after her surprise pick as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year. Ms. Palin was booked on grueling interviews with hostile reporters while talk-show hosts such as Glenn Beck couldn’t even get through to her aides. Mr. Beck tells me he was stunned when he picked up the phone one day just before the election to discover Sarah Palin was on the other end of the line. ‘She explained that she had been blocked from reaching her audience, so she was now ‘going rogue’ and booking her own interviews,’ Mr. Beck told me. ‘I was thrilled she had burst out of the cage they’d built for her and we were finally talking.’”

“I have been pointing out that the Democrat Party and the media will tell us who they fear most. And they’re not afraid of Huckabee, and they’re not afraid of Mitt Romney and they’re not afraid of Rudy Giuliani. But they have gone out of their way to destroy Sarah Palin. They have gone out of their way to destroy me… I hope Sarah Palin sells five million copies of her book. It’s going to be interesting to see just what connection she does have with the voting base, conservatives and Republicans. I hope she sells five million. I hope it does great. It will be interesting to see because that will just send them into an even greater tizzy on the left.” Rush Limbaugh
Edited later in day to add:
Palin ‘grateful’ for top spot
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27773.html
“Two days after the release date of Sarah Palin’s book was announced, it’s already become the top seller at both Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.”
“A Palin source told POLITICO that she ‘is very grateful’ for the strong early sales.”
“‘This book has taken off like a rocket,’ the source said.”
“A publishing industry source told POLITICO that they ‘cannot remember a non-fiction book taking off like this in the pre-order market. It became number one only a couple of hours after nothing more than a date announcement. It is truly unprecedented.‘”
“HarperCollins is co-publishing the book with Zondervan, a company that publishes evangelical books, and whose mission statement is ‘To be the leader in Christian communications meeting the needs of people with resources that glorify Jesus Christ and promote biblical principles.’”
Edited on October 2, 2009 to add Harper Collins description and cover of book:

“One year ago, Sarah Palin burst onto the national political stage like a comet. Yet even now, few Americans know who this remarkable woman really is.”
“On September 2, 2008 Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world.”
“As chief executive of America’s largest state, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history. And while revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also beat the political “good ol’ boys club” at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel.”
“Like her GOP running mate, John McCain, Palin wasn’t a packaged and over-produced candidate. She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue-collar union man, and mother of five children, the eldest of whom is serving his country in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. Palin’s hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket.”
“But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. Supporters called her “refreshing” and “honest,” a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests. Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. But none of them knew the real Sarah Palin.”
“In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom’s-eye view of high-stakes national politics—from patriots dedicated to “Country First” to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.”
“Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen’s extraordinary journey and imparts Palin’s vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.”

Abortion Fight Complicates Debate on Health Care

“Abortion-rights supporters say such a restriction would all but eliminate from the marketplace private plans that cover the procedure, pushing women who have such coverage to give it up.”
Right now, do YOU have abortion coverage in your healthcare plan?

Palin finishes memoir, ‘Going Rogue,’ out Nov. 17
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jlxDCO3o2Lipkwnit2WjvF0TCa5gD9B0IKGO0
“The book will be called ‘Going Rogue: An American Life.’”
I looked up the definition of rogue:
noun
1. An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal.
2. One who is playfully mischievous; a scamp.
3. A wandering beggar; a vagrant.
4. A vicious and solitary animal, especially an elephant that has separated itself from its herd.
5. An organism, especially a plant, that shows an undesirable variation from a standard.
adj.
1. Vicious and solitary. Used of an animal, especially an elephant.
2. Large, destructive, and anomalous or unpredictable: a rogue wave; a rogue tornado.
3. Operating outside normal or desirable controls: “How could a single rogue trader bring down an otherwise profitable and well-regarded institution?” (Saul Hansell).

I remember my eighth grade teacher telling me I was completely WRONG when I told the class about abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia. Abortion? Teacher was pro-choice. Infanticide? He said it did NOT exist. Euthanasia? Nope…. But HE was wrong.
2009 marks the 40th anniversary of legalized abortion in Canada. At this point, only partial infanticide is legal – as long as the baby’s head is still inside. And ask any Canadian palliative care doctor about euthanasia. It happens, but is not “legal” yet. But they are working on it…
• Bill C-384 would legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. (For the purpose of the analysis, euthanasia and assisted suicide will be referred to as “intended death”.)
• Bill C-384 does not restrict intended death to Canadian citizens. (The bill could make Canada a destination for Suicide Tourists and Suicide Clinics).
• The individual would need to be at least 18 years old.
• Bill C-384 does not limit intended death to the terminally ill and it does not define terminal illness.
• The individual may refuse appropriate treatments and still die by an intended death.
• Bill C-384 allows intended death for people who experience depression or other chronic mental conditions.
• Bill C-384 measures competency based on “appearing to be lucid”. The term “appearing to be lucid” does not assure that the individual is actually lucid.
• Bill C-384 would allow intended death for incompetent people who stated their intentions while still competent.
• The language of the bill is not clear whether medical practitioners are the only individuals who can intend the death of an incompetent individual.
• Bill C-384 would require at least two medical practitioners to confirm the diagnosis in writing.
• Bill C-384 would require that all requests for intended death be made free of duress. (However, no assurances are built into the bill)
• Bill C-384 would require the medical practitioner to inform the individual of all alternatives. (There is no requirement to try effective treatments).
• Bill C-384 would require the medical practitioner to provide confirmation of the diagnosis to the coroner. This is a form of after-the-fact reporting. The medical practitioner is only required to file a report after the individual has died. This is to protect the medical practitioner and not the individual who is dead.
• The definition of medical practitioner is not limited to a physician.
Euthanasia Quotes:
Condemned German: “But we didn’t think it would go that far.”
American judge: “It went that far the very first time you condemned an innocent human being.”
Conversation in the American motion picture “Judgment at Nuremburg.”
“I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel.”
The Hippocratic Oath
“I have yet to hear of a set of guidelines for euthanasia which would not lead to terrible abuses even in the opinion of those physicians who are sometimes willing to practice it. Inevitably, this form of ‘therapy’ would spread to situations in which at present it would be unthinkable.”
Jonathan H. Pincus, M.D., Yale University
“You matter because you are you.
You matter to the last moment of your life,
and we will do all we can,
not only to help you die peacefully,
but also to live until you die.”
Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of Hospice
“A man, even if seriously sick or prevented in the exercise of its higher functions, is and will be always a man … [he] will never become a ‘vegetable’ or an ‘animal… The intrinsic value and personal dignity of every human being does not change depending on their circumstances… Euthanasia is a grave violation of the law of God, since it is the deliberate and morally unacceptable killing of a human person.”
Pope John Paul II

I wish more people treated their children as well as Cesar Millan treats dogs. When I catch an episode of The Dog Whisperer, I am always impressed with his passion and compassion for dogs.
In a recent show, Cesar Millan was teaching an older gentleman how to take care of his dog. The older man had a cane and Cesar demonstrated and explained the following,
“You become a shepherd. The shepherds don’t use the stick to hit, [nor] to hurt the animals. The shepherd uses the stick to create a boundary, to create a line to move forward. See the difference…”

Although I loved her character, Laura Ingalls, I am not a fan of actress Melissa Gilbert because she is strongly pro-abortion. She guest hosted on The View today.
Melissa Gilbert: “I’ve got to tell you. I am with my son 24/7 right now because he’s in this show with me, and he’s homeschooling. And we are having an amazing time. I will say that.
Sherri Shepherd: “I don’t think I would ever have the patience to homeschool, girl.”
Melissa Gilbert: “Well, let me make it clear. We have a teacher traveling with us as we do the show… But it’s GREAT!”

I have watched some of Leno’s new show and I noticed he is making an effort to increase his ratings by not being as offensive to conservatives as he was on The Tonight Show.
Rush Limbaugh is an awesome entertainer and conservative advocate. I have been a dittohead since the late eighties. Both Rush and Glenn Beck are encouraging and make me laugh instead of cry.
