In town to give a talk on civility, I was surrounded by women who wondered what I thought of Sarah Palin's Newsweek cover.
"Why aren't women coming to her defense?" they asked.
"Why are the media being so rough on Sarah?"
Having been enjoying a self-imposed moratorium on all things Palin, declining numerous interviews to discuss her latest self-promotional tour, I was surprised by the questions. My thoughts lately have drifted toward the sense that, though Palin is very much a celebrity, she's no longer running for public office, at least officially. Ergo, radar gets a rest.
As for her book . . . right after I finish "Ulysses."

Goes without saying
Usually, but not with the lib whackos lurking around here looking for ammo.
Maybe nobody understands James Joyce’s “Ulysses” because, over all, as a writer - he was monstrously overrated.
Just like Norman Mailer - if the libbies are all pining over how great you are then you’re probably not great, just greatly connected.
I must confess that I once thought about reading James Joyce but haven’t yet.
Is reading Joyce the be all end all of literati pretensousness?
I’m currently reading James Hilton’s “So Well Remembered”.
As for Kathleen Parker, I was expecting Steve-b to post this article.
From what I’ve heard of “Ulysses”, and what I’ve read of “Going Rogue”, I suggest the latter is by far the most digestible read.
As to the rest...seriously, we can go around and around on whether Sarah Palin is presidential material, but if you think she and her family haven’t been pretty harshly treated, or “yeah, she did, but so what, she’s making millions now, so it’s okay”, you’re just not dealing with reality. Sorry.
