Sarah Palin’s new book has a title, America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag, and a release date, Nov. 23, publisher HarperCollins announced Tuesday…

It will include “selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her,” according to HarperCollins, along with “the nation’s founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies.”

Y’know, Rupert’s HarperCollins could spare itself the trouble and leave the pages blank. They’re really selling the dustcover.

Young Kagan’s Thesis on Socialism [NRO]

So, Mr. Plumber, have you ever stolen anything? “When I was a very little boy, I don’t exactly remember it, I guess we were going through a department store and I stole a pair of silk female garments and put them beneath my butt because I apparently liked how it felt.” [AOL News, via Countdown]
