Sarah Palin

Ever since Howard Zinn's 1980 classic People's History of the United States, honest, hardworking, courageous, patriotic Americans have clamored for similar texts in other key subjects that could bypass the biased mainstream publishers and speak directly to schoolchildren across the land. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's new social-studies primer is exactly that--and a major boon to the long-neglected subject of geography. Palin sets the record straight on critical content knowledge that has long been distorted by east coast elites: maps of Real America, a detailed history of the Bridge to Somewhere stretching across the Arctic, and pictures of the Red coast as seen from Big and Little Diomede. (Since you can see Big Dio from Lil Dio, it might as well belong to the U.S. Furthermore, Palin explains, acquiring Big D, which is on the other side of the international dateline, would ensure American supremacy today and tomorrow.) Tina Fey's insightful introduction sheds much light on the insights and wisdom contained within (while John McCain's epilogue apologizes profusely for them). Also most welcome to those weary of dull textbook prose is Palin's incomparable writing, as in this passage on the country of Africa: "The atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska's investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars." One can but hope for a companion volume on quantum mechanics. You can purchase your copy here or just cut the crap and donate directly to Sarah PAC here.
