Sarah Palin's new book: "America by Heart : Reflections on Family, Faith, and ..."

Test you Palinosity by filling in the blank. Meade couldn't do it. Not in 4 attempts.

Answer: Here.

I said "Freedom." I guess I am not sufficiently Palinositous.

Too many jims ayon kay ...

I guessed "Fame".

Without giving away the answer, I would ask: "Which one?"

MamaM ayon kay ...

Ok...Looking up Family, Faith and Freedom reveals a number of reasons why she may not have gone that route. But the word she choose instead seems likes a clunker.

More evidence of a tin ear?

Or the crazy fox thing?

Once again it looks like she'll be provoking reaction and response.

the Future?

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

Meade said "Freedom" first too. Then "Fidelity." I can't tell you what he said next.

Methadras ayon kay ...

I'm with Freedom.

Methadras ayon kay ...

Just look at the answer. Didn't guess that one. Seems out of sorts.

MamaM ayon kay ...

If Meade sprinkled his 3rd choice with a few stars, it could be considered an almost winner!

Palladian ayon kay ...

...Faggots?

Palladian ayon kay ...

...Stuff?

garage mahal ayon kay ...

Fools.

Palladian ayon kay ...

I'm going with "Stuff".

Phil 314 ayon kay ...

Freedom sounds "alliterively" appropriate

Phil 314 ayon kay ...

I like Freedom better.

Palin seems to value the American citizen that sees his country as a great gift that is owed an intelligent and strong defense when it comes under the usual attacks from jealous European/Roman elites. She is just common, and proud of it. Her laedership will help, but will the dollar currency we exist by even be here at the rate Obama's every policy is choke holding it with debt?

Palladian ayon kay ...

*looks at real title*

That's terrible! Although it would be really funny if a third of the book was a scholarly study of the vexillological history of America.

Phil 314 ayon kay ...

How about

the Frozen Tundra

(or does Green Bay have a copyright on that phrase?)

Palladian ayon kay ...

One of my personal rules: Do not read any book with the word "Heart" in the title unless it's a cardiology textbook.

John Stodder ayon kay ...

Fellatio?

Flava?

Frankfurters?

Fellas?

Fauns?

Fizzies?

-------

Okay, the serious answer... Friendship?

Chip Ahoy ayon kay ...

My guess was "patriotism" because those are the three things men always answer as the things in order of importance to their lives. I didn't think of alliteration always so attractive for book titles. FAIL!

Incidentally, my father really did live that axiom. Family most important ahead of God and nation wasn't just a glib arrangement of values. My brothers and sisters really tested him on that too, not me, of course, I was a precious problem-free dream-child throughout. SHUT UP I was.

At any rate, there's another book I won't be reading. I bet it doesn't even pop out.

campy ayon kay ...

Shoulda titled it The Audacity of Faith.

Matt ayon kay ...

FREEDOM FRIES.

Palladian ayon kay ...

"Shoulda titled it The Audacity of Faith."

Bodacity of Faith

rhhardin ayon kay ...

Flutists.

john ayon kay ...

"Levi"

(Oh BTW, that's flautist.)

Unknown ayon kay ...

I said "Football."

I was wrong.

I liked mine better than the correct one, though.

john ayon kay ...

Or floutist.

victoria ayon kay ...

john ayon kay ...

Flammistas.

There's a new Spanish desert place opening up. They are hiring.

Michael Haz ayon kay ...

Maltodextrose.

tim maguire ayon kay ...

I'm going to defend flag. It had to be in some sense an "F" word for "America." Freedom doesn't quite get the job done, Flag does.

Just so you know, I'm not all pro-flag because I guessed it, I didn't guess it. It's only in retrospect that that seems the right word.

john ayon kay ...

"I can see November from my house."

hee hee.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

Shemp.

They always forget about Shemp.

ricpic ayon kay ...

Palladian said: Fried Chicken.

A much better ending than the one Palin or her editor chose. Deflates the boilerplate title, makes it human.

David ayon kay ...

4 tries? Easy.

Guns.
Me.
My totally hot hubby.
Fear.

Diane Wilson ayon kay ...

Ferengi.

Forestry.

Fluoridation.

Flatulence.

I like where she could go with the subject matter, but the title is just frakking awful.

David ayon kay ...

Learn to swallow, Vikki.

"Family, Faith & Insect Repellent" apparently would work too. After all, she's from Alaska.

Beth ayon kay ...

I peeked. And that's just stupid.

Beth ayon kay ...

Which flag? It should be Flags or the Flag.

Über ayon kay ...

I read over it too fast and didn't pick up on the alliteration device... so I said "Patriotism."

At least I get points for being close by getting the theme right, right?

Given the stink about kids wearing the flag and a kid drawing the flag, I think she's got her finger on the pulse of something rather than making a misstep like you suggest.

chickelit ayon kay ...

Fey.

You all forgot about Fey. The word has some creepy etymology that hints nicely at palinsanity.
There's also Fey as in the namesake who mocks Palin but who symbolizes the larger world of Palin-haterz who practice the palindrome harass sarah.

Wince ayon kay ...

Fellatio?!!!

Unknown ayon kay ...

Amazing that the National Socialists are still so afraid of a woman they claim to hold in such contempt.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

If she's got it by heart, why does she need to write notes on her hand?

Has anybody seen that mad Awaskan watewy?

Beth ayon kay ...

Shhh. I'm hunting wabbits.

Palladian ayon kay ...

"Shhh. I'm hunting wabbits."

and wolves, fwom a hewicopter!

MamaM ayon kay ...

@Uber I didn't realize until I talked to my son that "crazy like a fox" isn't a current or common phrase.

Crazy like a fox: seemingly foolish but in fact very shrewd and cunning.

Tin ear: an insensitivity to subtlety or appropriateness in verbal expression

Jeremy ayon kay ...

"Balls in my mouth?"

Jeremy ayon kay ...

"...being a loser?"

*A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds that just 41% say they would vote for the former Alaska governor if she ran for president in 2012. Forty-eight percent (48%) say they would not vote for Palin, and 11% more are undecided.

john ayon kay ...

Hi Jeremy,

Just spread out a little fox scent and you show up.

Interesting percentages. If they're correct, it looks like it would be a neck-and-neck race with Obama.

And she's not even running (compared with Obama who hasn't stopped).

Alex ayon kay ...

Ah Jeremy has showed up and blown his load already. What a mess.

Regarding the book title - meh.

Über ayon kay ...

@MamaM ...

I'm familiar with both expressions... But I fumbled on reading comprehension with the short hand "crazy fox"...

Sorry about that. :)

Fen ayon kay ...

Jeremy: Teabaggers, can I suck on your balls?

No sicko. You cant suck their balls. So quit asking.

Jeremy ayon kay ...

Ohhhhh, Fenny...you pick the wrong name for your group of moron wing nuts and just can't get away from it.

Open wide, little man...

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

If it were ".... Ferris Wheels," I might consider reading it.

Right....because there's absolutely no relevant historical context to the name "tea party" beyond the vulgar pejorative leftists use to smear us with.

paul a'barge ayon kay ...

Meade's mind was elsewhere ... hey, it's Spring at Meadehouse.

paul a'barge ayon kay ...

"Which flag?"

That you even have to ask...

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

Fairbanks.

knox ayon kay ...

Flag?

Flag???

That's just weird and awkward.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

I didn't guess it either. But at least Sarah Palin is a welcome diversion from all Kagan all the time.

Mitch H. ayon kay ...

"Firearms".

veni vidi vici ayon kay ...

She is laughing at everyone. Right, left and center.

Especially the critics and haters, who fuel her success by forcing nominally conservative folks into sympathy with her.

Me, I just don't care enough about what she's selling, which appears to be more of that bromidic, homespun with a vamped-up accent "Americana" horseshit that successful center-right politicians like to bathe in, and that Democrats only pull out during election season to burnish their "God? We love him and the flag too!" credentials (while making themselves look foolish for doing so).

Heckuva polity, America!


wv: "epurge" -- the virtual corrollary to ebinging.

Phil 314 ayon kay ...

two comments:
1) One obvious answer given her new style of political commentary would have been "Facebook"
2) Less than 100 comments for a Palin post. Flavor of the month?

Ash ayon kay ...

Guessed "foritude"

Flag? Eh.

Ash ayon kay ...

that would be "fortitude"

Sorry - trying to type quietly, sleeping hubs.
