Decoding Palin, don'tcha know

Honestly, I can't remember if Sarah Palin ever said "don'tcha know" or if that was only the mom from Bobby's World, but either way, I think the point is made that Palin has some great folksy shit to say. Luckily, for those of us too bourgeois to understand the peasant dialect she speaks, a translation has arrived.

But seriously, it's a really interesting analysis of how Palin speaks, and how she conveys her message through her style. You betcha!

Saving the environment one book at a time

I'm shaking my fist at you, Canada. You and your booksellers are always trying to one up America. You have two national languages, and publicly funded health care, and your dollar tried to beat up our American dollar. And now your booksellers are trying to force environmentalism by public shaming. Indigo wants publishers to report on the recycled status of their paper and what forest their paper comes from. Oh yea, Canada? Who's going to do that?

...Apparently Hachette. Okay. You win this one, Canada. Back to the Bat Cave.
