$165,000, or exactly how much it costs to put lipstick on a pit bull.

Yes, Sarah Palin at it again! This just must be habit by now, but I get a slightly guilty frisson of pleasure each time I read of her -oh-so-mock-fiscally conservative high jinks. Next, I'm guessing Moose emblazoned with Palin posters in trees.

What happened? The McCain campaign spent the princely sum of $110,000. for Sarah Palin's makeup and hairdressing, according to the New York Times, plus another $55,000 for her fashion stylist. I clearly need to change jobs. Good to know today, when we also found out that over a half million people lost their jobs in November.

I am too distressed by the size of her book deal to allow myself to think about her at all. I'm not going to read stories about her or seek out Palin info because the volume of internet traffic regarding her antics is what is driving the publishers' generosity.

Shoot. Feel free to substitute other vowel. Moratorium on Palin posts now.

Sorry to be such a wet blanket. If she runs for president in a few years, I'll read about her again. Oops, I just referred to .......Hey did you see the Tongan dance in the palace in Iraq? It's almost like my cherished Bollywood flash crowd fantasies.
