as much as i take pleasure in the idea of a real-life Desperate Housewives going on in Alaska, it's too good to be true and so is the banned books list floating around.

but the true stuff is still delicious:

It's funny, my first copy of the Kilkenny e-mail came from a friend in France.

I see that the Kilkenny e-mail hasn't been debunked, in spite of research on the matter.

The Truth-o-Meter site was the first I heard of a banned book list – the only reports I had seen were that she asked the librarian about how to get books banned, not that she actually presented a list.

There's more than enough to say about Palin that should rule her out from being VP without bringing in phony stuff. The Desperate Housewives thing sounded too juicy to be true right from the start, but I fell for the bikini-and-gun picture until debunking reports started turning up all over.
