Reason #216 to Oppose Sarah Palin

Check out Katie Couric at 0:26. I totally make this face at my students.

“Can you name a few examples? From the reading? Specifically?”

Sarah Pollin’

Please take a minute to help me decide on an author photo for the chapbook. Once you’ve considered all seven, click on the green link and cast your vote. Also, if you know me, and have high-quality photos lying around (tasteful ones, people), I would love to see additional contenders!

(Trybecca should be back with regularity come November. Teaching three classes and finishing the chapbook affords little time to write. Also, much like Sarah Palin’s own answers to hard hitting political questions, this post is off-topic. A Palin entry is in the works, though.)

Which author photo is best?

• Becca as graffiti. Love it:
  
• Come on. Dylan Thomas TOTALLY would have used this pic:
• Nothing says poetry like simulated strangulation on a pool table:
• Yep. This one makes your boobs look good:
• European bridge? Check. Wistful indulgence? Check:
• Poetry is the flower just out of your petite reach:
• Of course. How could Snunshine NOT be in the photo?:

Reason #584 to Oppose Sarah Palin

From Time.com:

Stein [former mayor of Wasilla] says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.

Obama will win the election. Does anyone know what books Palin tried to ban? Did they include this one?

“OK, guys! I’ve made my edits to Lady Chatterley’s Lover!”
