Most unlikely book signing of the weekend?


Calling it at the Daytona 500, where Sarah Palin compared NASCAR to "snow-machine races" in Alaska and described the race as an "all-Americana event" before signing copies of GOING ROGUE. As usual, her cooler is full of word salad.

This probably isn't the first ever book signing at a NASCAR race -- with all those people camped out for the weekend, you have to think a savvy author would have gone there before -- and I'm not trying to say that people down there don't read. They read so much Harlequin broke out a line of NASCAR romances a few years ago, and you really have to see all of them to believe.

So that's how Sarah Palin spent her long weekend. How was yours? Mine was swell until the food poisoning.

Food poisoning? Are you ok now?

Much improved -- but still glad I don't have to go in today.
