Not sure how it's been overseas, but here, it may have slowed down some, but between doing interviews in front of turkeys being butchered, a parade of ethics issues, her grandbaby's daddy doing Playgirl, quitting her first term as governor, random bizarre endorsements of political candidates, and just all around folksy you betcha' gotcha stories, she has never been gone...

The Grauniad did a fab pastiche of the editorial process for her new book.

Anyways, so going back to my childhood, I was a big-time sports fan and reader, and I loved CS Lewis, who is very deep and interesting. So I played basketball and they called me Sarah Barracuda because of my amazing mid-court shot, which got me scholarships to the top colleges in the nation. [Sarah, this passage is great stuff, very affecting. But while we agree that Matanuska-Susitna College and Hawaii Pacific and all the others are superb schools, should we maybe cut out "top colleges" for the sake of modesty? – eds. NO WAY, HOSAY. LIBERAL ELITES LOOK DOWN ON ME BUT THEY ONLY WENT TO ONE COLLEGE AND I WENT TO FOUR. – SP] I put myself through college while working full time and raising a family. [Already? What about the basketball scholarship? – eds. YUP, THAT TOO. TOP COLLEGES IN THE COUNTRY. – SP] From that experience I always knew I wanted to serve the people of Alaska.

When I decided to pick John McCain as my running mate in my 2008 vice-presidential run, it was in recognition of his maverick qualities.

I almost died of laughter when I read that.

I think it's time for a group hug: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34002562...more_politics/

But I don't wanna be in the middle of it just in case some blows start getting thrown. I DO want to be there though just to watch.

oh come on - the world's far less funny without her!

Here's funny...

Palin asked about possible running mates, in an interview with Newsmax:

"I can envision a couple of different combinations, if ever I were to be in a position to really even seriously consider running for anything in the future, and I'm not there yet," Palin tells Newsmax. "But Glenn Beck I have great respect for. He's a hoot. He gets his message across in such a clever way. And he's so bold -- I have to respect that. He calls it like he sees it, and he's very, very, very effective."

Really, I can live without funny!

He'd be the first male to throw Jell-o on the spat.
