From former Governor Palin’s Facebook post:
Taken before the show. More to the point, here’s a link to the Wounded Warrior Project that former Governor Palin featured prominently in her post.

Sarah Palin, William Shatner, and an Illuminatus! reference*.
Half the right-sphere has linked to this by now, but I’m going to put it up anyway, because I have to quibble with Allahpundit: this isn’t really revenge on Shatner. He was in on this.
And good on him.

PS: I don’t know if THAT WOMAN is running in 2012. Based on that clip and other outside observations, I now think that THAT WOMAN is going to be stumping for candidates in 2010. And that she’s going to be a net benefit for the GOP in doing so.
And if anybody from the Other Side tells you that they’re looking forward for her to do precisely that, ask them in your sweetest, most dulcet tones if they were equally looking forward to us being out of Afghanistan and Iraq by now, too. Or us closing down FISA. Or… well, you get the point.

What Ace said on the Palin birth certificate thing.
Nothing to add, nothing to subtract. Read the whole thing.

PS: OK, one thing. I understand that Democrats would rather talk about this particular issue than, say, the way that they’ve doubled the unemployment rate under their watch… and I don’t care about what they’d rather talk about. And I don’t care if they don’t like my side’s conspiracy-flavor-of-the-month: at least my guys aren’t blaming it all on the Jews.
Oops, did I just type that out? My bad.

Governor-elects Christie, McDonnell fib at the RGA shindig.
They were asked why they didn’t bring in former Governor Sarah Palin to campaign for them in Virginia & New Jersey, and both of them made what are entirely excusable fibs about scheduling conflicts and the need to stay focused on state-specific problems. Come, I will hide nothing from you: they didn’t bring her in because both of them concluded that her reputation had taken a hit and had not recovered enough.
Yet.

I don’t often fisk…
…and I almost never bother with Maureen Dowd, but this paragraph is impossible to resist. Dowd on the President, and why he should act more like THAT WOMAN (no, really):
He’s a highly intelligent man
Actually, he’s a reasonably intelligent man. 130 IQ, tops.
with a highly functioning West Wing,
Err, no. I’m drawing a blank on things that the executive branch haven’t messed up, lately. These people can’t even manage an Easter Egg roll properly.
and he’s likable,
He’s likable enough. I guess.
but he’s not connecting on the gut level that could help him succeed.
This implies that he ever did (a statement that will no doubt confuse people not on my side of the aisle).

Stimulus/Response Watch: THAT WOMAN.
Seldom does the universe line up so perfectly. Jonah Goldberg:
Slate magazine is just one of the countless media outlets convulsing with St. Vitus’ Dance over that demonic succubus Sarah Palin. In its reader forum, The Fray, one supposed Palinophobe took dead aim at the former Alaska governor’s writing chops, excerpting the following sentence from her book:
“The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a buzzer downstairs that didn’t work, so that visitors had to call ahead from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws clamped around an empty beer bottle.”
Other readers pounced like wolf-sized Dobermans on an intruder. One guffawed, “That sentence by Sarah Palin could be entered into the annual Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest. It could have a chance at winning a (sic) honorable mention, at any rate.”
Click through for the punchline; but you know it already, don’t you?
Via Ed Driscoll, via Sarah Palin’s Uterus – and if you were wondering whether the latter was vicious mockery of the Online Left or not, well: stop wondering. It is.

Sarah Palin’s new book has no index.
So says Andrew Malcolm, and if true, that is probably the funniest thing that I’ve read all day*. But what Going Rogue: An American Life
e) She settles scores with some of those brave McCain folks who as genuine teammates in battle anonymously leaked unhelpful things about her to journalists during the campaign. Ms. P helpfully provides their names.
Andrew’s one of the few mainstream journalists who cares about the Wasilla Church Burning**, so I think that we can safely assume that he’s enjoying the prospect of names being named, too.

*The joke in DC is that the first thing that anybody in this town does when they see a new political memoir is out is to flip to the back and look him or herself up. Not going to happen on this one, which is perhaps cruel of the former Governor.
**Eleven months, at this point. And no, I don’t enjoy bringing this topic up: while I enjoy hate mail as much as the next person, the kind that I get when I mention this issue typically smells bad. The kind of smell you associate with public restrooms in major metropolitan train stations.

Quote of the Day, Sarah Palin edition.
On allegations that she requested that unofficial Jon Corzine ally Chris Daggett drop out of the New Jersey race, the former governor replied:
So, to the good people of New Jersey, please know that Daggett’s claims are false. I’ve never even suggested he should drop out of the race.
…wait for it, wait for it…
But, come to think of it…
Ouch. You want to keep playing, Daggett?

Palin boosts Boehner’s health care address.
Via her Facebook account, of course:
Mark my words – tomorrow is the game changer! Tune in to hear common sense solutions that bury the false accusations that conscientious members of Congress have no solutions to meet America’s health care challenges.
If you’re like me, shaking your head wondering why all the miscommunication between Washington and the American people who have been saying, “Please hear what we’re saying about our desire for health care reform,” then tomorrow will be a refreshing time of clarity for all.
As she notes, preview here. This will be interesting to see for two reasons; first off, as Dan Riehl notes this should provide Rep. Boehner’s address with a bit more traffic than these things usually get. I’ll be interested to see whether or not it’ll be a significant spike, but it should be something. Second: if you were holding out hope that former Governor Palin was going to play third-party advocate… you might as well stop. This is her way of saying that NY-23 is a special case, not a general one; and that she’s still in, and in with, the GOP.
[Insert tired, yet labored Halloween cliche here.]

NJ/VA Palin-less?
(Via Hot Air) The Democrats in this Politico piece about former Gov. Palin and the VA/NJ races are spouting nonsense about her long term appeal, of course* – they’re aware as I am that she’s going to be very much in demand in Congressional races where the Democratic incumbent is holding down a seat in a district that McCain or Bush won. Of which there are quite a few; but Democratic strategists can perhaps not be blamed for not wanting to say something along the lines of ‘Well, THAT WOMAN is going to go through all those Southern/Western Blue-on-Red districts like a buzz-saw, so you might as well get used to it.’ The people who need to hear that most will want to hear it least.
That being said, I don’t expect her to participate in the NJ gubernatorial election, although VA’s may yet still see a presence if the McDonnell campaign goes sour. Virginia’s at best lightly purple, even now; New Jersey’s pretty definitely blue. Christie doesn’t have a margin for taking chances right now.
