Truth & Books: Why you shouldn't believe everything in Sarah Palin's book

The Associated press and staff members of the McCain campaign have called into question facts and quotes in Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" even before the book has hit the shelves.

This doesn't surprise me.   And it's not because I think Sarah Palin is full of moose crap, it's because no one fact-checked my book except me.  Mind you, I did it over and over again until I wanted to rip my eyeballs out.

When David Sedaris wrote about buying a box of condoms in the New Yorker a fact-checker called...

Running the NYC marathon vs. being held hostage by monks

At the finish lineThe first time I visited New York City doesn't really count.   I was help hostage by Nepalese monks somewhere in Brooklyn.

As hostage-takers go, they were okay.  I got four square meals a day and my own room.  But I wasn't able to go anywhere on my own.  If I wanted to go for a walk someone went with me.  If I wanted to see the city, a monk took me to Madame Tousseau's as if that was all there was to be seen.

Monks are supposed to be peaceful, but their torture was particularly sinister.  Hour ...

Where in the World is Kelsey?

You never know where in the world Kelsey will turn up or why he is there. He went to Bangladesh because his underwear was made there. He went to Romania to spend the night alone in Dracula's Castle. And no one is sure why he went to Kosovo. He claims it was to PlayStation, but that doesn't make any sense at all, does it?Lucky for you, to win a HD Video Flip camera plus a few Frommer's travel guides all you have to do is guess Kelsey's secret location, not his motives.  Each week you'll be...

I'm not running alone.

Whelp, today is the day I run the NYC marathon. You can follow me by going to the ING NYC Marathon's site. My bib # is 33809. Also, I will be posting photos of the day's events to my twitpic account.

It'll be me taking each step, but so many have supported me and my cause. I feel like I'm running for a with a whole bunch of folks.

Annie, as always has been a saint. Since June I've either been running or recovering from a run every Saturday. On occasion I did milk my "recovering" excuse to...
