		<title>Going Rogue: Final Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have really enjoyed reading Going Rogue. In much the same way I enjoyed high school. It was instructive and a bit bizarre and I wouldn&#8217;t want to do it again.
I wouldn&#8217;t wish such a reading experience on any of you. Because Sarah Palin is painfully naive, obtuse, and annoying. Even though this memoir was [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Starfish and the Spider</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations&#8221;
Respect.
Consider this a companion piece to The Long Tail.
The influence and potential for decentralization in the modern world is palpable, from the Internet to terrorist networks. And thus, the metaphor: cut the head off of a centralized power and it dies (spider), but cut the arm off of a decentralized [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot Sarah Palin Tale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let us listen in as Sarah Palin regales us with an evocative description of her view from the governor&#8217;s office in Anchorage:
&#8220;From one window I could see an active volcano, and from another window, Mount McKinley. We overlook Cook inlet, abundant with sea life, including salmon, halibut, and beluga whales, all safely coexisting with offshore [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sarah Palin Goes Commando with Rick Warren</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Palin spends a significant amount of time in Going Rogue bemoaning the misleading manipulation perpetrated against her by the media.
It&#8217;s difficult to resist such tactics when she gives us these gems:
&#8220;One morning, I was showering when Bexie knocked on the door. &#8216;Rick Warren&#8217;s on the phone again,&#8217; she called out. &#8216;He&#8217;s been trying to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glass Blowing Apprentice?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading the caption on American Idol the other night and it said that the contestant onscreen was a Glass Blowing Apprentice.
Glass Blowing Apprentice?
Is that slang for fluffer?
Her teeth are pretty janky.
At least it&#8217;s good to know that the trades are still alive and well.
Bowersox!

		<title>Saring Palgue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though I am not quite finished, I have formulated several different opinions about Sarah Palin while reading Going Rogue.
One is this: I like Sarah Palin.
But I also judge people by the company they keep and Sarah Palin was too quickly co-opted by the Republican machine. She would have been much better off had she chosen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peculiarly Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am encountering many bizarre and amusing things about Sarah Palin by reading her book Going Rogue.
For instance, she eloped. She and Todd even had to &#8220;recruit&#8221; seniors from the old folk&#8217;s home across the street to be their witnesses, focusing on those in wheelchairs who could be easily transported to the courthouse.
And the reason [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Stoned With Sarah Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been reading &#8220;Going Rogue&#8221; so you don&#8217;t have to.
About a quarter in, Palin shares her thought process in deciding if to run for Governor of Alaska. At one point she seeks counsel from a friend, Rich Halford, a quiet and deeply thoughtful former State Senate president and quintessential Alaskan: an outdoorsman and private [...]]]></description>

		<title>Key Bumps with Sarah Palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since so few of you will actually read this book, but I know that you want to, this from Chapter 3-Drill, Baby, Drill:
&#8220;I stuck my head out the window of my black Jetta and shifted into fifth after cresting Thompson Pass. It was winter 2005. The girls were finally asleep, and I needed another gulp [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merle’s Door by Ted Kerasote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though filled with cutting-edge canine research and expertise and charming doggy anecdotes, Merle’s Door focuses on the inherently symbiotic dog-human relationship that rebukes the philosophy of popular television personalities and dog trainers who preach an entirely unilateral mandate of “pack leader” dominance over dogs.

Guilty of his own innocent anthropomorphizing, Kerasote’s books stands as a testament to the enormously positive condition of the human-canine relationship at a time when such companionship has been perverted by an ever-changing world that is dominated by man’s technology over the natural world order.

And it stands as a testament to the sheer power, eloquence, and persuasion that can be achieved by writing simply and passionately about what one observes, learns, and feels.]]></description>
