The Continuing Misadventures Of Sarah Baraquitter.
Sarah Palin, who quit her job as governor, couldn't finish the job of signing her book for fans in Noblesville, Indiana, either. The Alaskan asshat was booed and jeered by her own disciples Thursday night and sped off in her campaign-style bus after failing to sign her book of fictional revenge for some rain-drenched, Hoosier book-buyers.Poor l'il Sarah; who's she going to blame for her own poor manners?She's keeping comedy writers employed, though: Read Full Story

Pick It Up: Marianne Faithfull--"Easy Come Easy Go."
I read a concert review the other day about a recent Marianne Faithfull show. I've been a fan since sometime around "Broken English," and she brings to mind a tough-yet-tender late-night chanteuse, and would be on my short list of people with whom I'd like to share a closing time drink. Today her tipple would likely be sparkling water; I'd stick with my usual.Anyway, the reviewer mentioned her most recent album, "Easy Come Easy Go," which reminded me to pick it up.
