…to this I cite a comment left on my review:

Even your title indicates lack of understanding: “Normal.” What’s normal? Labeling the motives and stimuli of “liberals” and the “elite,” something you’re incapable of understanding? Rationalizing Sarah’s kids’ behavior, when you’d have slammed Obama if his kids approached the Palin kids’ behavior?

Commenting on PETA, as if that has anything to do with the book or Palin?

I’m not even convinced you read the screed. You could easily have written what you did whether you’d read it or not.

As to the screed’s sales, I’ve already commented here where those numbers are coming from. If you’re literate, look it up.

Apparently I haven’t read the book now, and “I’m rationalizing her kids behavior”. What is really amazing is this comes from a top 500 reviewer who apparently has earned respect at Amazon.

I had a funny thought and started to check the other 4 star reviews, he seems to be commenting on quite a few of them. I wonder why the need to go after people?

As I replied in the comments there, if it makes him happy then go for it, but it sounds like a case of Sullivan’s Syndrome to me. This goes to show it affects ordinary people (Look at his reviews, he seems at least as ordinary as I am) as well as pundits.

It brings to mind the School Superintendent in NH that was leading a group of about of a dozen vulgar screaming students outside the school where I saw her during the campaign. Long on angst and judgment but short on answers screaming at Palin, the bus and the thousands of average people in line waiting to see her.

For their own sake they’d better get over it, she could credibly run in any election from now till 2032 so this is going to be years and no politics is worth decades of worry and misery.

My review of Sarah Palin’s Autobiography Going Rogue An American Life is available at Amazon.com here.

I gave the book 4 stars and I’ll let you read the review to find out why but even more interesting than the review are the tags people who just HATE Palin have put on the reviews:

This includes “Keeping America Stupid”, “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”, “Quitter”, “liar”, “blithering idiot”, “idiot”, “delusional”, “hypocrite”, “dumb and dumber”, “I can see her career dying from my house”, “ghostwritten”, “sea of pee”, and those are the more normal ones. They also include “goat sex”, “forest gump with a uterus”, “dumb as rocks”, “mein kampf,”, “satan”, “looser” (spelled that way), “phychopathic excrement”, “madame moose-alini” (ok that one at least is clever), and of course the hits on her son: “retarded” and “voice for retards”. There are 24 pages of other tags half or more in a similar vein. It is a triumph for “tolerant” liberalism.

The 162 one star reviews are pretty amazing, I would bet real money that under 10% of those have actually read the book, I would also wager that 30% or more are paid to make said reviews.

The absolute irrational fear and loathing and panic that this woman produces in people is incredible and I’ve seen it first hand. It is palatable and is amazing and in my opinion for hire. I would guess there are people who are actually being paid to do this.

We can expect another 20 years of this as Soros and company with some help from inside the beltway republicans do their best to destroy her. They do this not because they don’t understand who she is and what she represents, but because they DO.

As for the book itself, one thing worth mentioning is how much she likes John McCain. She really thinks highly of him and his approach, some conservatives might take exception to this but she likes people who believe what they believe and stand up for it and right or wrong that is McCain all over.

One other thing you will note is her practical way of looking at things, you see it over and over in the book, she is also not shy about admitting mistakes.

If you are reading this blog you almost certainly have already picked up the book. I would make a request, please check out my review and if you like it then say so as the Anti-Palinites will be hitting the reviews as hard as possible.

One thing is for sure, it is named correctly, it’s the quintessential American life.

My Review of the Companion Chronicles 3.11 Mahogany Murderers featuring the Characters Henry Gordan Jago and Professor Lightfoot from the Classic Dr. Who Episode The Talons of Weng-Chiang is available at Amazon.com here.

It is the single best Companion Chronicles episode available thus far, it is also also unique in two other ways:

To this point it is the only Companion chronicles adventure with three credited actors. Director Lisa (otherwise known as Dr. Bernice Summerfield) plays the waitress.

It is the only Companion Chronicles that doesn’t feature the Doctor.

If you have never seen Talons of Weng-Chiang you will enjoy the episode but not as much, if at all possible watch the episode directly before listening to this episode and you will really have a spectacular time.

It goes without saying that this one should be bought.

My review of the 8th Doctor Big finish adventure 3.7 The Eight Truths staring Paul McGann as the Doctor and Sheridan Smith as Lucie Miller is available at Amazon.com here.

All you really need to know about this episode is that it was written by Eddie Robson he has written quite a few of them and with only one exception they are among the best stories ever written for Big Finish.

This one qualifies as a must buy. So make sure you get that order e-mail to Mike’s comics ASAP.
