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.

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

Too many jims म्हणाले...

I guessed "Fame".

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

MamaM म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

Methadras म्हणाले...

I'm with Freedom.

Methadras म्हणाले...

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

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

Fools.

Palladian म्हणाले...

I'm going with "Stuff".

Phil 314 म्हणाले...

Freedom sounds "alliterively" appropriate

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 म्हणाले...

*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 म्हणाले...

How about

the Frozen Tundra

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

Palladian म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Fellatio?

Flava?

Frankfurters?

Fellas?

Fauns?

Fizzies?

-------

Okay, the serious answer... Friendship?

Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Shoulda titled it The Audacity of Faith.

Matt म्हणाले...

FREEDOM FRIES.

Palladian म्हणाले...

"Shoulda titled it The Audacity of Faith."

Bodacity of Faith

"Levi"

(Oh BTW, that's flautist.)

Unknown म्हणाले...

I said "Football."

I was wrong.

I liked mine better than the correct one, though.

john म्हणाले...

Or floutist.

Flammistas.

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

Michael Haz म्हणाले...

Maltodextrose.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

"I can see November from my house."

hee hee.

Trooper York म्हणाले...

Shemp.

They always forget about Shemp.

Palladian said: Fried Chicken.

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

David म्हणाले...

4 tries? Easy.

Guns.
Me.
My totally hot hubby.
Fear.

Diane Wilson म्हणाले...

Ferengi.

Forestry.

Fluoridation.

Flatulence.

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

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

Beth म्हणाले...

I peeked. And that's just stupid.

Beth म्हणाले...

Which flag? It should be Flags or the Flag.

Über म्हणाले...

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.

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 म्हणाले...

Fellatio?!!!

Unknown म्हणाले...

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

MamaM म्हणाले...

@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.

Jeremy म्हणाले...

"Balls in my mouth?"

Jeremy म्हणाले...

"...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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

Regarding the book title - meh.

Über म्हणाले...

@MamaM ...

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

Sorry about that. :)

Fen म्हणाले...

Jeremy: Teabaggers, can I suck on your balls?

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

Jeremy म्हणाले...

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...

अनामित म्हणाले...

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.

That you even have to ask...

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

Fairbanks.

Flag?

Flag???

That's just weird and awkward.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

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

Mitch H. म्हणाले...

"Firearms".

veni vidi vici म्हणाले...

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!

Phil 314 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Guessed "foritude"

Flag? Eh.

Ash म्हणाले...

that would be "fortitude"

Sorry - trying to type quietly, sleeping hubs.
