Excerpts from Sarah Palin's Going Rogue have been released by several news agencies that have received advanced copies. Here are the first ten lies from the memoir.
While the concerns of many white, middle-class people are worthy causes and should be addressed by liberals, it is not elitism to treat this roving band of conspiracy nuts for who they are.

No knock on the American remake, but I'd get my hands on a DVD of Susanne Bier's movie, set in Denmark, first. It will hurt you to watch it. But I promise you: It's all good. Indeed, it's the best.
