Sarah Palin writes the book on Sarah Palin

1. Sarah Palin Writes a Book - Yes… but will she READ it?  Sorry… cheap shot.  Hot Air asks:  Who’s going to buy more copies?  Her supporters?  Or Countdown with Keith Olbermann fans?
(From Hot Air)

2. The NYC / Denver Terror Plot.  Was it for real? – There are three scenarios here.  This guy was a well trained Al-Qaeda Operative, he was a wanna-be loner, or he was somewhere in between.  The New Republic comes up with the answers.  (From The New Republic)  And on a side-note:  If he is one of their top operatives, you’d think they’d learn to have their guys blend in a bit more.

3. Health Care Debate runs into the Abortion Debate – If you think there’s little chance of health care reform getting passed, just wait until some on the left attempt to save provisions that would help, in anyway, someone get an abortion.  Centrists and the right want to disallow insurance subsidies from helping low and middle class citizens from purchasing plans that would pay for an abortion.

4. Secret Service Looking into Facebook Poll – Too bad there’s no “dislike” option.  Somebody on Facebook posted a poll “should Obama be killed?”  Now the secret service has to look into it.
(From the Washington Post)

5. The similarity between working in an office, and a cult - Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Russo reviews a bunch of office-life themed works, and correctly points out the common ground between an office and a cult:  Any employee who gains some sort of sense of self-reliance is seen as a threat to the entire group.  This conclusion drawn from Herman Melville’s “Barleby, the Scrivener.”  And that’s precisely why you need to go to your company Christmas party.  (From NPR)
