In the opening pages of “Going Rogue,” Sarah Palin tells an anecdote about the Alaska State Fair that took me aback. Here’s the story:
Ahead, on my right, I saw the Alaska Right to Life (RTL) booth, where a poster caught my eye, taking my breath away. It featured the sweetest baby girl swathed in pink, [...]

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), one of the GOP’s leading voices against liberal media bias — he heads the Congressional Media Fairness Caucus and keynoted this year’s Accuracy in Media conference – gave a floor speech today attacking Newsweek for running a cover image of Sarah Palin in tight workout duds.

Lisa De Pasquale breaks the news of Rush Limbaugh’s interview with Sarah Palin, to be conducted in the second hour of his Nov. 17 show.

Peter Wallsten reports that the conservative author who governed Alaska for 31 months will make an appearance at Fort Hood on Dec. 4. It’s less sensational than it sounds:
