Scott Ott's Examiner Scrappleface: Obama: Palin book shows need for memoir public option
The Washington Examiner ^ | 11/17/09 | Scott Ott

News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher.

Decrying the lack of "choice and competition" in the U.S. memoir market, President Obama today backed a House bill to create a "single-writer public option" autobiography to serve the needs of an estimated 47 million Americans who can't afford Sarah Palin's $28.99 hardcover "Going Rogue."

Although the Congressional Budget Office estimates the cost of the measure at $1.7 trillion over 10 years, the president said it would "not add a single dime to the deficit" because funding would come from a 55 percent tax on sales of "Going Rogue" as well as on any future Palin books, radio and TV shows, DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, holographic exercise videos, limited edition signature snow machines and fishing boats, and anything else employing the name or image of Sarah Palin.

Sarcasm is an alternated state of reality (?)
Is sarcasm actually funny or just twistedly disturbing?

Keyboards are actually covered in the new stimulus funding. Of course, there is a waiting list...
