Guest Writer Sarah Palin
Dear Reader(s), The staff of this online periodical, all one of us, have decided to take the day off today. Thankfully former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has graciously stepped to fill in some space. She’s new to satire, so please go easy on her.Hey, ya know I’m really diggin’ this writin’ thing.
As you probably know, I have a new book comin’ out later in the month.
I’d never been too much into contemplatin’ and reflectin’ the way some
of them literary types are, but when a publisher recently offered me
a seven-figure contract, I said: “Hell yeah.” Shoot, that’s like
a 100 bucks a word or something. (Incidentally, I hope the guy who
runs this website can afford my rates. And if anyone asks,
“best seller” is two freakin’ words. )
The guy from this site didn’t give any talkin’ points to
throw at ya today, so I guess I’ll just have to go all impromptu
like I did there with that wicked inquisitor Katie Couric. No problem.
In fact, I’ll let you in on a little secret, I don’t know if you
noticed at the time but I was wingin’ it during that Couric
interview. I’m pretty sure nobody caught on,
’cause this has gotta be about health care … oh, and about jobs …
and educatin’ our young’uns (two words).
Well, I really don’t have a lot of time to spend here today,
what with all the writin’ I have got scheduled. Next up,
after the book is released, I’m gonna put the finishin’
touches a collection of sonnets I’ve been busy with,
then there’s an essay on Nietzsche I’m plannin’ to send
to The New Yorker and a translation of a 19th Hungarian novel
(we’re talkin’ mega-words in that one.)
