You gotta love the guys at Green Apple. Yesterday they announced on their blog that they have special plans for the profits they make from the sale of Sarah Palin’s new book:
With all due to respect to the Republicans who were as overjoyed as I was (for different reasons, of course) by Sarah Palin’s nomination to the McCain ticket last year, Green Apple is donating 100% of the profits from sales of “Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue: An American Life” to the Alaska Wildlife Alliance.
Founded in 1978, the Alaska Wildlife Alliance is the only group in Alaska solely dedicated to the protection of Alaska’s wildlife.
Bravo, Green Apple, bravo.

From reading excerpts of the book, one conclusion that is unavoidable is the woman’s jaw-dropping shallowness. When telling the story of how she was confronted at one point with news reports that she and her husband Todd were going to divorce, one would think (indeed one would hope) that she would offer for the reader’s contemplation a heartfelt description of her abiding love for her husband; how their union could not be tossed aside like some disposable camera – that she and Todd took their wedding vows seriously. No, there was none of that….
“Dang, I thought. Divorce Todd? Have you SEEN Todd???”
TRANSLATION: If Todd gains fifty pounds, he’s toast.
Thirteen years into their marriage, Eleanor Roosevelt was confronted with her husband’s affair with her social secretary (and distant relative of mine – I come from a long line of home wreckers) Lucy Paige Mercer. After contemplating divorce, it was decided that they would continue their union. Years later, she confided to her friend, Joesph Lash, the reasons for saving their marriage. They were many and complicated. This, I can assure you, was not one of those reasons:
“Dang, I thought. Divorce Franklin? Have you SEEN Franklin???”
Ah, substance!
