Sarah Palin’s Book Title – Time to Vote!
You realize, of course, that actually trying to choose the best of your entries to put into a poll is an impossible task. I guarantee I have not listed many titles that left me in stitches! But a poll can only be so long, and this one is ridiculously long as it is with 113 entries. Why 113? Because I had to stop somewhere.
Have I left off your favorite? Please hat tip them in the comments.
I have tried to attribute the entries, but some had several people who were the same or close. If I’ve forgotten to attribute something to you, drop me an email at akmuckraker(at)yahoo(dot)com and I’ll fix it. In a couple rare instances, I took the liberty of combining the best of a couple ideas into a hybrid entry.
I did not use entries that were already used in Mudflats post titles, like The Audacity of Hype and The Lyin’ The Witch and the Wardrobe.
So choose your top 10. Then you’ll understand a small taste of the torture I just went through. Narrowing these down is not easy.
(gives you a snappy salute) Good luck. The poll will be open until midnight Saturday. So, email your friends if they want to get in on the fun. I’ll announce the winners Sunday.

Please make sure ya all vote for AKM in the Netroots Scholorship
Only 6 away from first
The book cover is just as fantastic as the titles!
The gibberish title from Global Village is cracking me up now that I get the point that it truly doesn’t make sense. Perfect Palinese!
I felt like an idiot too, trying to make sense of it and couldn’t. Oh that is too funny.
Excellent title Global Village – sorry I already voted, it’s my favorite now (o:

Hi Miss Cathy in Lewisville!
Good work my fellow Texan!
Guvna Perry really shamed us on that tea party mess. How embarrassing!!!!
Laughed uncomfortably hard at Wanda Sykes joke about the President giving the Queen an iPod….Wanda said, “An ipod? What are you doing giving her that? Give her something nice from the U.S….like Texas!”
(not exact quote, but close)
Oh well, your county and mine voted Obama….whew.
Cheers.
Obamanos!
James Opiko: LOL, those are some good ones. It’s amazing how many things rhyme with Wasilla. 🙂
Another belated suggestion –
“How I Stood Up To Corruption And Lay Down With It! ( Also, Too)”
Hey Obamanos
Cathy in Texas here. Lewisville, north of Dallas. Glad you enjoy my book title.
I am trying to pay attention to Perry and Texas politics but just can’t stop tuning in to everything Palin. She scared me to death during the campaign…..the result….I am now becoming more informed politically. So her ignorance, is my education …..perhaps too you betcha.
If I have replied in wrong area or manner, my apologies. I am a shy and inexperienced mudflat fan.
I’m sorry, i can’t i can’t. the titles of her book will be longer than her book.
good work folks
Or how about?
Memoirs of a Misconception: Stories by Sarah Palin

I want to vote 100 more times for:
Alienation Nation: My Special Role in Growing the Democratic Party [lynn (MA) hussein] (6.0%, 76 Votes)
This one’s really growing on me. Help me out folks.
@Radishness
It’s gibberish. Had Moose Pucky laughing a lot.
You are a bunch of creative, crazy fun people. Kinda makes me wish one of the Palins would re-pregnate (?) so we could come up with new names.
Thanks for the genuine laughs.
I’m happy I placed top 5!
These were fantastic!

I loved this title suggestion from a comment to Shannyn’s article “The New Testament of Sarah Palin: Spring 2010” on The Huffington Post:
+ naughtymonkey
I offer as a title for Palin’s book–
The Sarah Palin Idiot’s Guide on How to Prolong Your 15 Minutes of Fame
And too. Also. Ad nauseum.
Just wanted to echo the suggestion of PepperzMom that cover art should be prepared for the top ten. I see it as sort of the “swimsuit competition” portion of this book contest.
After the winning title is chosen, you could solicit proposed text for the first chapter and poll your readers on the submissions. Who knows what could be achieved? We may, collectively, have the entire book written and published by Mudflats Publishing well before Harper Collins gets around to publishing their version.
“—Great day! Another frivolous ethics complaint against me was dismissed! I won against another false allegation, too! More info to follow…”
Hah! This sounds like something Mudflats would come up with, but you know Sarah, she’s an endless source of comedy also too. So when one of these violations finally sticks (and I am sure that one will) I wonder how she will tweet that news?
“Aw shucks! One of them thar ethical violation thingys done took! Don’t you a worry though, I”ll a be fightin’ and a clearin’ my good name lickety-split!”
Go Alienation Nation!
Moose Pucky would now like to lobby for a boost in the polls for:
Alienation Nation: My Special Role in Growing the Democratic Party
Kudos to Lynn (MA)
Thanks Obamanos! I had it stuck in my head last night as well, lol. And yeah, your title was one of my favorites, it definitely got on my vote list.
These are unbelievably clever and funny. I had a very hard time picking just 10. Way to go Mudflatters!
The Audacity of a Dope
How about: Arctic Cat Salad w/a disclaimer by Palin: Any similarities to any company is pure coincidence because that has always been my nickname. Also, too I had to throw something on my salad.
BTW – I noticed some comments re: The Lyin’ Witch and the Wardrobe. For those who don’t know, that is from AKM back in Oct 2008. Click on it in her post above – it’s a great read (o:
Somebody de-feather this bird. I just checked SP’s Twitter tweets to see if I could find an also or too …but I found something even more disturbing. She’s busy on her Blackberry announcing ethics filings against her dismissed. She’s ticking each one off …”another malicious complaint dismissed…”
Can you imagine this crass, shallow and mean-spirited wonder in the White House? Oh my word.
Anyway…I found a too….here is the EXACT Tweet from the brain smaller than a parakeet’s!
—Great day! Another frivolous ethics complaint against me was dismissed! I won against another false allegation, too! More info to follow…
OK, I will try again on this one and hope it doesn’t show up a day later and 3 pages back.

The only thing I don’t like about it…I’m singing it in my head now….over and over and over….
Loooooove that title.
Well after 30 minutes, I’m down to 15 …. hard to decide the top ten …. some were coffee spittin funny! Back to the list now, I suspect by the time I pare it down to 10, the polling will be over. I’m sooo easily entertained 🙂
I Can See Russia From My House, by Sarah Palin and her ghost writer also
“The Id-iod: The travels of Uselesys” by Homer Alaska (Ghost writer)
Blooper, excellent! Don’t she, Don’t she.
Wait…wait…wait! I downloaded this from John Aravosis’ Americablog:
John Aravosis (DC) on 5/14/2009 09:33:00 PM
From an email going around:
Gov. Palin is reported to have signed a contract to write a book about her life, including her experiences as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate last year. In recent efforts to rehabilitate her image, she has talked about her love of reading and mentioned that one of her favorite authors is C.S. Lewis. There is, so far, no confirmation to the rumor that her new book will be entitled, “The Lyin’, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”
I think it says it all, don’t you?
@Sourdough Laugh tears running down Moose Pucky’s face,
“On the other hand, all the bookstores that carry it are going to need to create a whole new section called “Political Pornography” on which to shelve it.”
I guess they can put Bobby Jindal’s upcoming book in this section, also.
Oh, and this:
Nobama Mama
I know this entry is too late, but here’s a book title my wife came up with:
“She’s So Vain, She Probably Thinks This Book Is About Her.”
Bwa ha ha…heh heh…good ones. And good thing I didn’t have a liquid beverage in my hand:-)
I couldn’t even pick my own contribution on the list… because there were so many good ones. I got it down to 15…. and eliminating the last 5 was tough. My choices picked 2 in the top 5… so not so bad. There could easily be a Top 20.
I posted a question on the other thread, but there is not a lot of activity there.
Are there any MudPuppies here (from Wasilla) that were going to the High school graduation tonight…. we need details.
the amount of time spent compiling all those options borders on obsession.
I’ve run out of title ideas. Not that any of mine have made any lists. Bit short on the creative side on this.
If you have any more title ideas, put them over under the other thread.
Help AKM reach the magical 1000 mark for comments!! Only 57 more needed to reach the 1000 comment level.
Yes we can !!
If you are still thinking up Book Titles, pop over to the Name The Book blog and post them. Only 58 more and it hits a 1,000 posts!!!
Here are a couple more….
Witch Doctor hold my hand
I walk through a salad of words.
Thanks for a good laugh AKM
Obamanos comes up with yet another great title… “A pile of steaming crap.”
Or, as the amish calls it, “road apples.”
I think Global Village’s title reads just like what Sarah Palin says. At least, whenever she opens her mouth, what i hear is “Tfpoiejwoaisf niot siovut hioeshfg.”
Oh my! So many hilarious and clever titles…how can we pick just 10! I have to say we are a clever bunch here! I didn’t get to read all of the suggestions, but I laughed my yaknowwhat off all last night. I’m on my way back to that thread to see what I missed. This was a hoot!
LOVE the book graphic at the top of this thread….too funny and very appropriate!
Shout out to whomever put out “Vagina Moronologues” I almost fell out of my chair laughing on that one! I saw the Vagina Monologues and it was amazing! Very clever!!!
All the titles are hilarious and one of my favorite is Venezuela’s, “True Confessions of a Pathological Liar, The Palin Story”. I love it and am still cracking up.
I can’t believe that none of the ones I liked are included in the voting list! I copied my favorites to share with friends and family and if yours is included, know that I gave the Mudflats blog credit — even for the ones I tweaked a bit! THANK YOU for all the giggles. Here they are:
• What’s Truth Got To Do With It? • Crime Without Punishment • Days of Whine and Rusch Limbaugh • Sarahcuda • Abstinence and Prejudice • Who’s Your Mama? • Other People’s Money • What Volcano? • Sarah Palin: The End of an Error • I Will Tell You Why The Oceans Near The Shore Also Too • The Vagina Moronologues.
Have to applaud a suggestion from over on palindeceptions, by lilybart:
“What to Expect When You’re Faking Expecting”
I can’t even read the COMMENTS, let alone the hilarious book titles! I’m peeing in my pants laughing and you guys are FABULOUS in your “creativity”.
I can’t even get it down to 10… there’s easily 30 that made my kitties run away because they don’t see me double over in laughter very often. It scares them and creates an inhospitable lap on which to sit.
When the tears dry from my cheeks, I’ll take another look and try to do so with a more “mature” demeanor and perhaps without a couple of Rum & Diet Cokes in me.
KUDOS to all for your hilarious submissions!
@ Cathy in Texas-
Too funny! What a gift you have for writin’ in Palinese! You should write a parody of the book and try to get it into circulation first. You’d rake in those Palinbot Bucks, and they wouldn’t even notice they’d been had until the real one came out!
I can already envision the summary description of her book…..”the story begins with Sarah and her struggles to lead a rugged life in Alaska. Also too perhaps the story is a testament to a simple Hockey Mom who happened to find a book entitled, “How to Win an Election”. Using her 6 year journalism degree, her permanently painted lips and her ability to use both friends and enemies to her advantage, Sarah leaped to great power. Youbetcha and so too, she marched from Wasilla to National attention, with every vote gettin child in tow. Perhaps too the most compellin, oh and devastatin part of Sarah’s story is the painful effect of the rugged, predatory, Alaskan bloggers. As Sarah tells all, life in Alaska is not for the weak spirited….. this story is just one of a series.
What fun with this book of hers!

The sad part is, Harper Collins will force any stores interested in selling the book as they will have some people come in asking for it, to order an outrageous number of them, most of which many stores would be stuck with in a discount bin. These forced orders will then make it appear that the book legitimately made the best seller list, which we know it won’t. You’ll be able to pick it up for 99 cents to line the bottom of your bird cage.
I missed the contest, but I would have proposed:
Bring me the head of Katie Couric: a Christian mother’s tale of spirituality, love and liberal media hatred.
the problem child-fawnskin-
I think this hit me like a brick as my kids are about the same age. So, sorry AKM, I am an emotional mess. Her sons blue eyes -I see them every day in my own children. Ugh. Just imagining the pain is more than I can bare.
Hopefully Harper Collins is going to have this book printed with perforated pages, that are quilted for softness. That’s the only way this book will have ANY use whatsoever that isn’t completely vulgar!
I saw the challenge, sat down, cracked my knuckles to join the fray…
Then I saw “Pulp Diction” and “Also, Too Sprach Sarahthustra” and knew that I was in the presence of divinity, and out of my league.
You all rock.
i just left a message at womanwithsadrinecan’s blog.
i hope that she knows that all of us here love her.
Wow, this looks like it took major time and effort, but well worth it – great to laugh out loud! Thanks to everyone and to AKM. I have to give a shout out (and maybe a write in) to Pagentwalker and to Mavwreck. I just love those one word, catchy types. The one however that made me snort my coffee this morning (and I am by no means a snorter): The Annotated Executive Ethics Act: Wooten You Like to Know!
Does this Campaign Make My Ass Look Big?
i can’t believe this one didn’t get more votes!
Moved to open thread.
Whoa, that list is the BOMB!
I’m thinking a poster with the above cover and the 10 top vote getters. I’d pay for one of those. What do you say, ‘Flatters?
“The Lyin’, the Witch & the Wardrobe”
saw that on facebook yesterday and it is a good one as well…
Tough choices! All great 🙂
The Governicator’s book might be a blessing in disguise – it ensures that her followers’ noses are kept in the book and out of politics for awhile
(probably for many long months, especially if they really read it and don’t just look at the pictures).
On the other hand, all the bookstores that carry it are going to need to create a whole new section called “Political Pornography” on which to shelve it. And of course, they’ll need to keep minors and people with an average or better IQ out of there, so as not to cause undue psychological harm. Have her “socially conservative” followers considered this?
“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.”

Need a little laughter to lift ones spirit.Ten were hard to choose fro so many but was a fun poll. I would bet money that Ms Palin reads here.How else would she know about us pajama dressed bloggers..She would not be able to comment because than everyone would know who she was

I tried to vote for more than 10 because it was too hard to choose and it was utterly impossible to count while laughing so hard. Hats off to the smart poll that forced me down to 10.
I would have liked to vote for The Audacity of Hype and Uselessys but didn’t see either…and so many more clever titles.
{{{{{mudflatters}}}}}
Moose Pucky, MinNJ, Thanks for the shoutout. At the end of the day my mind was numb from trying to figure out book titles, lol.
As for the titles, I really liked all of them, that’s the truth! 🙂 Mudflats had a hard job indeed picking the final ones.
There were SOOOO many good ones!
Poll started, but here is another:
Lunacy on Lake Lucille
A late ineligible entry, but I like it!
While this entry is a day late, and a $ short, it is a winner!
Sarah: The absent, obstinate, abstinent Luv Guv!
Whatever that means?
@Moose Pucky
Yes, that was also extremely clever word-play…are we having fun yet?
This is to much!!
Some of these titles sound like they would be a great read!
Having to not drink anything when reading all the Book Titles and comments.
Way to far to the outhouse!!!! Gonna Pee my pants………
Moose Pucky~
Your laughter is as contagious as four giggling babes! And there are indeed waaay too many great options….
One of my personal favs is: “Hysteria Lane”
Ha!
“The Terrifying Reign of Patriarchal Barbie; How the Dominionist Puppet in Naughty Monkey’s was Treated as a Legitimate Candidate for VP”
Not too funny, but true!
I had a hard time choosing one. I guess the others could be chapter titles?
Why thanks MinNJ x
And “Mavwreck” is excellent!
Good to see “Northern Overexposure” rise up in the ranks.
Betcha Hillary will appreciate “It Takes a Village Idiot”
Missed “Magical Thinking” in my votes–but love it.
Y’all crack me up.
Quyaana for the laughs.
I also agree with Bystander, no matter how wretched, this book will be bought in bulk by Murdock or his underlings and then packed away in warehouses or offered as a bonus gift to party lackeys.
Other titles that had me grinning:
Juneau I’m an Idiot? (but you can only get the verbal pun by reading it)
The Crying of State 49 (but might only be “gotten” by Pynchon fans)
I think these titles would be more generally understood:
The Hope of Audacity
The Lyin Witch with the Wardrobe
And finally I like:
Sarah Plain and Vain (because both “plain” and “vain” have several meanings)
(I’m not sure if the maetHaras would understand why this title is so delicious – they really don’t get the concept of “irony” at that site.)
The Seriel Killer of Syntax
Uselessys was totally brillant…and I needed many kleenexes thereafter.
Just recapping a few of the many that made Moose Pucky burst out laughing. A tip o’ the antlers to all!!
{{{{ombamanos}}}} — i feel the same way. so many people from all over the world were seeking the answer to WTF is a sarah palin?? and we stayed, we learned, and we made friends.

Yes, blooper gave us some really good ones. Joe 12-Pack and Duck Driver were also some of my favs.
Mudflats should petition Rupert Murdoch or HarperCollins to Save A Tree, send Sarah Palin’s book directly to disk.
If Palin doesn’t read it herself, how WILL she answer questions on her book tour………….?.LOL
While Palin will surely be able to get huge amounts of press when her book comes out, Matthews makes the good point that the questions that haunt you are not the ones that you give an honest if unpopular answer to, but the ones to which you should know the answer but don’t. Matthews thinks these will be problems when Palin does press for her new book because she’ll be asked questions like “How did you write this book? Did you write it by long hand, on a laptop? Or actually did you not write this?”

Really too funny. I just sent this to a bunch of my friends. Some of them definitely think I have Palin Derangement Syndrome. Not my words or theirs, and actually I think it is her supporters who have that because they obviously do not see her clearly at all!!

Democrat G,
Following up on your theme… it could have been something like…

Oh Lord, you have made my day with just the graphic.
Why are you so funny?
I’ve been a lurker at themudflats for a month, but have to come out of the closet to vote.
Carpe per Diem
(although, whilst laughing my butt off at ALL of the entries..really liked “Are you there God, It’s me Sarah”)
(My husband liked The Silence of the Turkeys)
All over the world, people were scared, shocked and desperate to know more about that woman with the hair piled on top of her vacant head.

That’s a keeper!! 🙂
Well, Lee 323, I loved it. It cracks me up….
I miss this plain old white message board…reminds me of the day in September last year when I discovered this Mudflats place just a few minutes after some woman named Sarah Palin was named as a candidate for VP. This little book title contest reminds me of all of the voices in the mist. It gives me chills when I think about all these people popping up and finding this site and saying, “Hi, from …”

This was one of mine. It was my last toss of a name into the hat….and by that time, I wasn’t sure if I was talking about Palin’s book title or talking about myself for spending too much time thinking about Palin’s book title. LOL.
There were so many witty, hilarious, appropriate, spot-on, perceptive names by EVERYONE that I pitied poor AKM for having to select a reduced list.
TEEN SEX, LIES, & NO COMMENTS! (How you can BS your way to the top!)
Oh God! How can I choose?!
Thanks Martha, that was mine, and I thought it was funnier than the one I had that reached the list, but never mind, it’s all good.
I have a complaint about your contest- my tummy hurts from laughing so much.
Prof Geezer wonders: is this is the most-ridiculed book in history (before it is published)?
My answer: you betcha, also, too.
Vagina Moronlogues made me laugh the hardest.
If you ever have a chance to watch the Vagina Monologues, bring Kleenex, ’cause you’ll laugh till you cry!
quite a selection…I’ll vote when I get a chance to read them all.
I wish one choice was “The day I disappeared into obscurity”.
Agreed…. impossible to narrow the choices down. Waaaay too many good ones.
There were so many entries I entirely missed seeing the one for “Sarah Vain & Simple” Dang! That would’ve been a definite !
Too too many good choices. And, I have to agree that “The Lyin, The Witch and The Wardrobe” is fabulous.
Here in Buffalo NY, I generally receive a polite ” Palin ? Does it really matter what goes on in Alaska?” type response when I bring this up. My attempts to draw it all out into the larger picture doesn’t have much effect. As many here have said before, it’s good to be in the company of other folks that “get it”. This is something that resonates along and within so many strings of the political and cultural grid.
I’ve been left feeling lately terribly sad for her children though. This is their family legacy and history that is unfolding. I almost wish there was a quiet “fund” that we could contribute for them for the future. At some point we could let them know we were on their side and help them move past all of this somehow.
Best wishes and warm thanks to all !
Thanks AKM for the fun — For the break and release it has given from reality. I was blown away to see the results covering all the choices. Kewl!!
Wolfe on CNN reading/talking Palin’s defense of Miss Cali to Donna Brazille (who said she doesn’t care) & Alex Castellanos (who basically agreed).
Donna telling Alex off — quit whining and painting everyone with a wide brush!!!
Juneau I’m An Idiot
or What was that title?
That cracked me up! I don’t think it made the list…
Or was it, Juneau She’s An Idiot?
Anyway…I thought it was so funny when I saw it in the original comments.
Some hilarious stuff…
You know…if a really talented ghost writer could convince her to take a self-awareness pill, it’s possible her book could be a true behind the scenes account of …
Oh, forget it.
It’s a pile of steaming crap.
“The Audacity of Hype” should have been included. I also liked “The Book of Palin” from Countdown.
Whew! I thought I was close to 10, then I went back and saw it was 15….it was hard to weed out the last 5, but I did it. AND, I simply love Sarah vain and simple… that has got to be the most clever thing I think I have ever read. Oh, next to the 800 or so other very clever things!!!
No envy here, AKM. I wouldn’t have wanted that job.
Oh, and I had another come to me as I drove home from work….
“Sarah’s BIG BOOK of Bullsh*t”
Fertilla in Wasilla was attributed to me….alas it wasn’t mine.
Will the real Fertilla please stand up!
congrats to those making the cut….maybe there will be PART II
i made the cut…WOW….[maybe a push of the PayPal button will help my chances]…LOL
so many great titles
I laffed all night, woke up this morning, remembers a few and started laffing again…
In the future when GiNO and her henchmen/woman are strong arming, a contest ‘naming that particular event’ [like this] will surely lessen the pain
Ha! My last-minute, woke-up-thinking-it one made the list! OK, so it actually WAS worth it to have GINO invade my first morning breath.
“How to Win Fools and Influence Sheeple” and “Sarah Potter and the Order of the Phonics” have been making me giggle all day.
“A Witch Hunter is My Co-pilot” didn’t make the poll.
I decided if I waited until Sat. to push the vote button, I’d go NUTS mourning over having to let go of “Das Krapital” to fit in “…Vain & Simple”. So I hope you all vote for Das for me.
Betsy Drake: Maybe she can write it in her mind while she’s sleeping? Oh wait, even sleeping is part of her 24/7 watch. She must sleep with one eye open. Never mind.
I made it on the list YOOOO HOO
but my favorite one didn’t
“Six Years, Five Colleges, Four Kids, Three Jobs, Two Grandkids, One Husband and Zero High School Graduates Later: My True Story” by Miss Demeanor
So now I don’t know which to vote for so many are great
saw this on another site and thought it worth repeating: “What to Expect when Prentending to Be Expecting” tee hee
Funniest.Sh*t.Ever.
LOVE it. I have to read them again, it is too much fun.
Oh, and I’m fond of
“The Hope of Audacity”
I started with 23 and weeded down. Thank god you didn’t tell us only three. And of course I have yet another suggestion: The Mendacity of Hype.
Betsy Drake–Well, it’s not like she really is much now anyway…
According to Bill McAllister she works 24/7. She is going to write this book herself but cannot do it on goverment time. Hmmm? If the book is to come out next year, she could not have written it herself (and she can’t) in that time frame. When will she work for the great state of Aslaska????????
Can I just say: Thanks, AKM. Thanks, Mudpups. YOU ROCK. Funny funny!
I agree with DrChill. Or even, The Lyin Witch and her Wardrobe.
Very slow out of the gate but I had to try at least one:
Valley of the CariboutBarbie Doll
@Bystander. Right. I totally agree.
But now, if you are seen with the book, you will look like a fool no matter how you got a hold of it! Because it is already a huge national joke and not a word of it even exists yet (except in THE SPECIAL SARAH DIARIES OF 2008!
Maybe I am slow today, but can you think of a recent book that got this much lampooning before it was even written?
I like a variation on
The Lyin’ The Witch and the Wardrobe.
I think
The Lyin Witch with the Wardrobe
is better aurally
I like “The Audacity of Hype”, also my variant “The Audacity of a Dope”
Prof: The publisher is Rupert (Fox News) Murdoch, so I think it is a “loss leader” for the right wing. There will be thousands of “bulk purchases” to put it on the best seller lists, even if there are only 12 copies sold to real buyers.(see Ann Coulter).
Definitely include the Audacity of Hype in the next round.
If I were the publisher, I would be ALARMED how the book is already a national joke (see Letterman, Dave) before it is even written.
You are all hilarious!
Love the cover design.
Also still fond of Mooselini’s Memoir
Lots of others remarkable that Moose Pucky will have to ferret out from the 1000+ creative entries and repost.
“Audacity: or I’ll Stop When a Judge Makes Me”
Don’t peek at the results before you vote. It’s more fun to be surprised.
roffl–rolling on the forest floor laughing
Her publisher’s probably loving the extraordinary pre-publicity.
I do not think I have ever seen a poll with this many options anywhere before, ever. 🙂 This may be some kind of world record or something!
Lipstick on a Dipstick is my favourite so far.. rofl!
Ah, Sarah-the gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving…
…….ROTFLALALALA !! Impossible! I think I would buy a .pdf or pamphlet of all of these. (please).
SP has brought such joy (etc.) to the world by simply being.
I picked 4
:p
Okay, strange enough, after I posted that, the tally is gone and now I can vote. Must have been some issue with the cookies for this site.
(Now I want some cookies.)
It already shows a tally for me, which is a bit of a spoiler. And I can’t seem to figure out how to vote.
Missing from the list is:
Of Course You’re There God, It’s Me Sarah! (I Can See Your Crack)
Darn, none of mine… I’ll have to ponder before I vote; there are just so many fabulous choices!
I’ve got to choose 10??? I didn’t get past the first three before I was laughing so hard I couldn’t continue. Its going to take me days.
I keep peeing in my chair from laughing.
Help me, someone.
Thanks for the ten choices. One is way too hard.
two i saw on philip munger’s daily kos thread, nov. ’08.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/11/18/14026/393
“Answers I Brung for Charlie and Katie”
“How the Terrorist Won the White House”
Oh and yeah, Shannyn’s title should be among the choices, too. Also.
OH the delicious delight and impossibility of making a choice.
Just close your eyes and pick. What a harvest!
Audacity of Hype should be one of the choices… might be easier if we got to pick 20 and then narrow it to, say, top 5. Wish I had done my “Boobsters and Butterflies earlier.”
I loved Shannyn Moore’s idea (as said on Keith Olbermann):
The Lyin’, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Thus far it’s the best one I’ve heard yet.
OMG, great titles, too many to pick from, thank you AKM for sorting through so many.
Wow !! What a task. Thanks !! @ 856 posts…….easily will hit 1k.
I, of course, had to vote for my own, but I REALLY do like Sarah, Vain and Simple.
You’re right. That was hard. She’s just so easy to lampoon.
