Jane Alison is a novelist... no one has ever heard of.
And she can't write.

HEY, Sarah P., big congratulations on the memoir deal! I am so excited that you're joining our booky-wooky club! I know this is new for you, this book-writing thing, so do you mind some suggestions - just a few pointers? First, the story thing. You might not like that word "story," what with how it sounds like news story and might make you think about nasty interviews and so on, but I know you can get all creative about it. Important to remember: Your story is just what you want to tell - no more. You get to control every single word. Each word will lie still as if shot dead on the paper. There won't be that live thing - you know, people talking at you and asking questions and all - to confuse you. You will have total control. This could really be your medium, you know. Not media. Medium. Of course there's no connection. Now, the truth thing. The facts thing. These can be tricky. It's usually advised, in nonfiction books, that you get the facts straight, but who's to say what facts really are? What straight really means? One thing you should know: There are interesting differences between politicians and memoirists. If you haven't gone to jail, for instance, yet, it can actually be more memorable, more effective, more powerful in a memoir to say that you have. You've been to one, right? And can you make it seem real? That's all that matters: What's real is what seems real - what really tells your story.

As our illustrious president well knows..........
Jane Alison is a novelist... no one has ever heard of.
And she can't write.
It isn’t humor it is disgusting. Liberals are disgusting in thought and deed.
Some pointers for the boston globe. . .
Get bent.
What a pathetic article.
The author seems very, very jealous of Sarah.
Looking at her picture, I reiterate my point: Jane Alison is extremely jealous of Sarah Palin.
1. Palin has a job, and her finances are in order. That puts her way ahead of the Globe editors and the paper as a whole.
2. You don't look terribly smart driving away the only demographic that reads a daily paper, but you look even less so when you do it by making fun of someone who is so much smarter than your editorial writers.
Her jealousy shows through her sophomoric “wit”

"The Chinese tied him to a tree. This did not bode well" (No kidding!)
"Josephine stood up, unsteady, and looked over the edge, into the roiling water. Deep, she knew. Forty-five feet! That was herself times just over eight."
"She could have given him what he wanted, when he begged her, and he would have undone everything--he would have burned the precious thing himself."
Isn’t the Boston Globe going out of business?
Oh gee, I wonder why? /sarc
I thought the Boston Globe went bankrupt.
Lordy! The Boston Globe is hiring mental incompetents.
Vomit!
After attempting to read this crap I had to wonder; just what kind of idiots do the editors at the Globe think their readers are? No wonder rags like this are sliding into irrelevance.
