Palin's Memoirs Triggers a Boomlet of Other Books

[symbolman]

Other authors are going simply for laughs, such as ''Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring and Activity Book'' by Julie Sigwart and Micheal Stinson, which is filled with political cartoons drawn in the style of a coloring book. Readers can do a word search for Palin's potential vice presidential picks -- can you find ''Rush Limbaugh'' and ''Tina Fey''? -- or tackle a puzzle maze of oil pipelines.

''As a satirical vehicle, a coloring book is perfect,'' says Stinson. ''Both the right and the left can enjoy this book. Unlike The Nation, which just has a bunch of words, we have pictures.''

Just so folks know, ''Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring and Activity Book'' was created by Julie Sigwart and Micheal Stinson, two longtime DU'rs and activists (you may know us from our Takebackthemedia.com days) who are politcally skinning Sarah Palin like she would a rogue moose..

I believe the link to the sample pages is there, if not you can visit http://www.goingrouge.net

NEW YORK TIMES, BABY!

Anyone think we should contact Skinner and see if we can use this work to get some donations pouring into the DU over the Holidays? Be our pleasure, we owe the DU SO MUCH for all the help over the years! :)

Love,

Symbolman & Demobabe

14. If she could put sentences together, she could publish: "Going Rove."

But as everyone knows that without a ghost writer, her style could only be described
as "stream of incoherency," I guess that even her fans would know it was a fake. On the
other hand, her fans all know she's a fake anyway, and that hasn't stopped them from cheering
her every unintelligible sentence so far.

Inspired me a lot in the dark days of 2004.
Seriously, long before YouTube, you guys were the schiznitz!

[symbolman]

36. You're too kind

I wish it was true, though I have to admit Demobabe is the greatest, gotta agree there :)

Glad we kept some folks going in those dark days, couldn't have done it without the DU, a real life saver! Literally..
