The best so far is the one delivered by (forgotten who) after she rained down condemnation on the "Liberal" Pope last week.

Amazon reviews have become one of bright spots on the web.

And then the landfill.

That's really not too bad. She no doubt expected better, but most of us authors would be delighted with a sales rank like that.

I doubt she wrote a single word in the book

N/T

At one time, she attracted crowds of teabaggers like a rock star and her grocery list would have been best selling. Her book signings used to be mobbed. Now, she's lucky if she gets a handful of mouth-frothers at every stop. I hope publishers aren't giving her advance payments anymore. They're losing their shirts if they are.

Sometimes the market DOES work.

to dispense all that other social justice I was promised.

... invisible social justice, empty promises, stockholder dividends, and golden CEO parachutes.

Priscilla Wood wrote, “I truly thought Palin was going to make a case for why Christmas is important, instead the book is full of rants, misleading assumptions while showing more love with the idea of Christmas rather than the real meaning of it. Her argument makes it scary to think that she held public office at some point. If you enjoy reading juvenile literature you’ll enjoy this book.”

But . even after all the times I've seen your sig 'logo,' I still think for split second it says "GMO Free Kraut," as in saurkraut!

Keep up the good work....

Mahalo, you too! And, we do like our kraut GMO FREE!

where has she been?

Hilarious.

Rob Delaney is a very funny guy. I bought a ticket to what I thought was a stand-up performance here in Chicago, but instead found out I was buying Rob's book with an opportunity to sign it. The guy is very funny, and his book is very funny also. I was disappointed not to see his stand-up routine, but to my delight the book is indeed quite good, many good belly laughs and I don't laugh easily. As if that weren't enough, the guy's progressive politics are dead-on with what we're trying to accomplish here.

Why do Republicons HATE the Holidays?

and if negativity was a commodity, she has already cornered the market on it. May she fade into obscurity sooner rather than later. That would be a Christmas gift to the nation from the universe.

'The Book of my Enemy Has Been Remaindered'

The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I am pleased.
In vast quantities it has been remaindered
Like a van-load of counterfeit that has been seized
And sits in piles in a police warehouse,
My enemy's much-prized effort sits in piles
In the kind of bookshop where remaindering occurs.
Great, square stacks of rejected books and, between them, aisles
One passes down reflecting on life's vanities,
Pausing to remember all those thoughtful reviews
Lavished to no avail upon one's enemy's book --
For behold, here is that book
Among these ranks and banks of duds,
These ponderous and seeminly irreducible cairns
Of complete stiffs.


The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I rejoice.
It has gone with bowed head like a defeated legion
Beneath the yoke.
What avail him now his awards and prizes,
The praise expended upon his meticulous technique,
His individual new voice?
Knocked into the middle of next week
His brainchild now consorts with the bad buys
The sinker, clinkers, dogs and dregs,
The Edsels of the world of moveable type,
The bummers that no amount of hype could shift,
The unbudgeable turkeys.


Yea, his slim volume with its understated wrapper
Bathes in the blare of the brightly jacketed Hitler's War Machine,
His unmistakably individual new voice
Shares the same scrapyart with a forlorn skyscraper
Of The Kung-Fu Cookbook,
His honesty, proclaimed by himself and believed by others,
His renowned abhorrence of all posturing and pretense,
Is there with Pertwee's Promenades and Pierrots--
One Hundred Years of Seaside Entertainment,
And (oh, this above all) his sensibility,
His sensibility and its hair-like filaments,
His delicate, quivering sensibility is now as one
With Barbara Windsor's Book of Boobs,
A volume graced by the descriptive rubric
"My boobs will give everyone hours of fun".


Soon now a book of mine could be remaindered also,
Though not to the monumental extent
In which the chastisement of remaindering has been meted out
To the book of my enemy,
Since in the case of my own book it will be due
To a miscalculated print run, a marketing error--
Nothing to do with merit.
But just supposing that such an event should hold
Some slight element of sadness, it will be offset
By the memory of this sweet moment.
Chill the champagne and polish the crystal goblets!
The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I am glad.


Clive James

delightful!

Of course about 80 people gave it 5 stars and 80 people gave it 1 star. Did people even read this book?

My fave:

5.0 out of 5 stars Putting the Christmas back into Christmas, November 27, 2013

I've had problems with erectile dysfunction for years, but one read of Ms Palins go-get-em defence of good old patriotic Christmas values soon had me more virile than a stag on stag viagra or whatever it is they eat in Canada. The headboard got so out of whack I had to buy a book on woodwork, which while interesting in itself, offered no help in the bedroom department.

So thank you Ms Palin, thank you. Not only will we be celebrating your kind of Christmas this year, but I'll be reading it again and again during our weekly nuptials because its frankly more interesting than the back of my wife's head.

The perfect sticking filler. And the book is great too.

Sarah Palin is a truly ignorant woman and each of her books is worse than the one that preceded it. Indeed this book is so bad that it seems entirely possible that she actually wrote it herself

From the reviews, I believe it.

'Tis the season for grift-giving...

Delish!

we make fun of teabaggers liking Sarah Palin, but Duers must like talking about her a lot more than say....

hearing about how bankers are buying all the illegal foreclosures on the cheap and pricing regular families out of housing because their institutional investors can pay cash.

We have no media, no messaging, no democrats out there giving us real talking points to fight back with.

We have some real problems in this country and we are the only ones capable of fixing them, yet instead of demanding accountability and change, we make fun of Sarah Palin and other stupid stuff the tea party says.

Who is leading the discussion in this country?

We go from one 'it bleeds it leads' story to another, in between we are discussing what Republicans say and how stupid they are...

When are we going to come up with our own proactive talking points and actions that actually change this nightmare that millions are going through?

All of which have *zero* to do with Palin, and lots to do with the questions you ask.

but they get a few recs, no comments and drift away where no one can see them.

I don't have to make this up, you can watch the list of topics yourself, there is plenty of evidence...



I just keep noticing we have no democrats with talking points to fight republicans with. Instead we just follow their stupid stuff and comment and laugh at the morons. but when will we take the lead? There is a lot we need to do to fix this country and I am tired of letting Limbaugh and palin lead the discussion.

If we didn't have something to do to let off steam, like ridiculing Sarah Palin, we'd all go insane.

She'll probably just blame others, as usual.

Someone should ask her about a particular chapter and question her in depth!
Of course she would never allow or agree to this since she has to approve ALL questions and queries in advance.
'Cause, after all, some mean asshole named Katie might ask a "gotcha question" like, "What do you like to read?"
fucking idiot.

I would see are people like scrooge forcing people to work on Christmas eve and Christmas day.

I still call it Christmas. everyone has their Religious holiday.. I'm against the notion of Separation from religion but for separation of religion. ie I'd allow every religion or a wall of religion at any particular federal spot. allowing any religion from wiccan to Christian , Atheists to Islam.. Not sure about Mormon's (j/k) bit too violent for me...

Funny stuff written by some damn creative minds. If you visit, take a shovel to dig around for the truly glorious nuggets. Oh, pack a lunch, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The pinnacle of Western Civilization, November 12, 2013
By Arken - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas (Hardcover)
Finally after millennia of trying to get to the crux of our human condition, a mind of ultimate wisdom powered by a voice of persuasive eloquence brings us the single greatest work to come out of the Western tradition. When you were sleep-walking through school and wondering what was the point of all those hard books -- why read Aristotle, why read Sartre, why read Shakespeare? Well, here is the answer. All of those lesser lights were preparing us for this. My only regret is that I have now experienced the highest point of my intellectual life without having prepared myself adequately for it. I will need to revisit the entire Western canon and re-read and re-imagine each classic in light of this truly greatest of classics. What the name "Einstein" meant for the 20th Century as an icon for ultimate intelligence, the name "Palin" will mean for this and for every succeeding century as the ultimate in human achievement. I thank God that I walk the earth in the same era as this greatest of the great. The Palin Era is upon us.

Which is leading to some great satire by folks who like to screw around with the Palinistas.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm packin' for the War on Christmas...., November 19, 2013

By Arcania (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas (Hardcover)
Last week my first cousin Cleetus took me mud-bogging for our wedding anniversary. When we got home and I saw the mud spatter on the back of our Ford truck was in the shape of a Christmas tree I knew it was a sign from God for me to buy this book.

I have to go ahead and tell ya'll up front that I love me some Sarah Palin. She's been such a inspiration to our family. Why, the other day my 14-year-old daughter Billy Sue got real depressed after her youngest baby dropped her new pack of Marlboros in the toilet and started bawling and goin' on and on about how her life sucked and how she'd never get out of this trailer park and I was like, "Now shut up, honey, and think of the Palins. They proved that even people like us can make it in this world. Look at Bristol Palin. She's just like you and she got on that dancin' show and everything." Then I told her to go lie down until her hangover passed. Kids, right?

Because that's what family values is all about - takin' care of one another. And that's what this book is about - family and holidays and Christian values, because it don't take no book learnin' to be a good Christian. And a good Christian knows Christianity is all about loving Christmas trees, Jesus, Reagan, the flag and capitalization. Wait...is that the right word? Or is it capitalism? Anyway, it's about that money system that FOX News says is the Christian one and that's why I'm glad Wal Mart is making their people work on Thanksgiving cuz' as soon as we finish up that deep fried turkey, I'm gonna go shopping and get this here book for my family. I'm also going to buy me a duck blind, although I reckon that's off the topic.

If them Obama-lovin' elitists think they're gonna win this War on Christmas I'd like to see them try it. I done asked Cleetus to get me some extra ammo so we can be ready for them Christmas-tree stealing liberal troops. And I done nailed down my plastic baby Jesus in the Nativity scene in case they try and steal it. Even if they don't, the war's bound to make it here sooner than later because everybody in our trailer park is good Christians and we show it by leaving our Christmas lights up all year. We ain't gonna be sitting ducks like our forefathers were when Sherman's troops came through. Heck no. This time we're ready.

So God Bless America, God Bless Sarah Palin and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The book is probably showing up at the Dollar Store as we speak.

But someone on Cluster Faux is bound to say its on NYT best seller. Need to keep an ear open for that.

an annual holiday tradition almost as enjoyable as Christmas itself ... The book is part tribute to the joys of Christmas, part how-to guide for oppressed Christians looking for ways to fight back against whiny and litigious secularists, and part manifesto on the general superiority of Christianity over atheism. Palin, throughout, appears incapable of fathoming why a business catering to people from all walks of life may prefer to use inclusive holiday-season language in promotional items ...
The Sarah Palin War-on-Christmas Soundboard
By Dan Amira

even teabuggers aren't stupid enough to waste their money like that.

She'll be a truck stop lap dancer.

at truck stops? I need to change careers.

I'm surprised by the replies on this thread. Just 3 years ago anything Sarah Palin did or said had an army of apologists who would leap to her defense and go on line to scrub history in her favor. I don't see that happening now.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Not sure how long it will last.

"Once again, the delightful Ms. Palin takes dead aim at the lie-beral straw men she places just inches away from her laser sighted wolf rifle and empties clip after clip into them. In this timely tome she skewers godless heathen liberals who have no use for the true meaning of Christmas or even Santa. She identifies the socialist hoodlums who attempted to unionize the elves and mocked Santa when he was forced to relocate due to flooding from the global warming hoax. Ms. Palin clearly enjoys hunting these progressive punks and the reader feels her white hot snark on nearly every page. And you can tell she is an astute student of history when she compares the secret War on Christmas to the persecution of Joe McCarthy, the demonization of the Abu Ghraib hazings, the Nazi Blitzkrieg, the Holocaust and the Stalinist purges. Its not all anti commie rants either. She makes us burst with pride as she nearly bursts the buttons of her snug fitting bodice vigorously waving Old Glory and kneeling at the Manger with the 3 wise men, Reagan, Rush and Rushdoony. If you can't go out and kill a commie for Christ you can do the next best thing and read this book and watch this tough old broad do it for you."
