Author Joe McGinniss is a brave, brave man!


Spring has sprung in Alaska, and with this beautiful season comes the news today that the Palins have a new neighbor! Welcome, Joe McGinniss!

Yes, that Joe McGinniss. Here he is – about 15 feet away on the neighbor’s rented deck overlooking my children’s play area and my kitchen window. Maybe we’ll welcome him with a homemade blueberry pie tomorrow so he’ll know how friendly Alaskans are. (Joe!  Do not, I repeat, do NOT eat pie from the Palins!)

We found out the good news today. Upon my family’s return this morning from endorsement rallies and speeches in the Lower 48 states, I finally got the chance to tackle my garden and lawn this evening!  (Okay by a show of hands how many of you believe that Sarah EVER does yard work anymore. I mean unless a camera crew is nearby.) So, putting on the shorts and tank top (was this necessary?) to catch that too-brief northern summer sun and placing a giddy Trig in his toddler backpack for a lawn-mowing adventure (Who in the hell mows a lawn with a toddler strapped to their backs?  And what kind of crazy ass image is she trying to project here?), I looked up in surprise to see a “new neighbor” overlooking my property just a stone’s throw away. Needless to say, our outdoor adventure ended quickly after Todd went to introduce himself to the stranger who was peering in...

Joe announced to Todd that he’s moved in right next door to us. He’s rented the place for the next five months or so. He moved up all the way from Massachusetts to live right next to us – while he writes a book about me. Knowing of his many other scathing pieces of “journalism” (including the bizarre anti-Palin administration oil development pieces that resulted in my Department of Natural Resources announcing that his work is the most twisted energy-related yellow journalism they’d ever encountered), we’re sure to have a doozey to look forward to with this treasure he’s penning. Wonder what kind of material he’ll gather while overlooking Piper’s bedroom, my little garden, and the family’s swimming hole? (Wow!  Have you EVER seen so much venom dripping off of a Facebook post?)

Welcome, Joe! It’ll be a great summer – come borrow a cup of sugar if ever you need some sweetener. (Once again Joe, remember NO PALIN FOOD!) And you know what they say about “fences make for good neighbors”? Well, we’ll get started on that tall fence tomorrow, and I’ll try to keep Trig’s squeals down to a quiet giggle so we don’t disturb your peaceful summer. Enjoy!


- Sarah Palin



You know that may be one of the nastiest things I have ever read!  You can almost feel her rage bursting off of the page!   Kind of reminds me of this picture.


Yeah that's the one!  I think THAT is the Sarah Palin that Joe will see glaring back at him from the Palin's backyard.

By the way, according to my sources, that picture on Sarah's Facebook page was taken by Track while Joe was standing on the deck of his rented house. You can almost hear Sarah screaming "Somebody get me a picture of that interloper now!"

You know, for some reason I have me a hankering to drive on out to the "Silla" and have a cup of coffee with Joe McGinnis.  I will have to check my schedule today and see if I have some free time.

Hey maybe I can even lend Joe my old sign?



P.S. For what it is worth I also believe that Sarah herself wrote that Facebook post, as well as the one about Nikki Haley. There is just too much of the Sarah Palin "mean girl" in there for it to have been completely written by somebody else. 

Read it for yourself and tell me if you agree.

    So, by her own words, I take it Palin finds the "squeals" of a two-year old offensive and annoying, since she assumes other people would.

    It's a toss up which she's worse at, being a political leader or a mother. Too bad you can't resign from the mother thingy.

    Sarah undoubtedly wrote this facebook post about Joe McGinnis. The reference to young Piper's bedroom window is a clear indicator of Sarah's pathology.

    It might take all summer, but SOMEHOW Sarah will figure out a way to make Sarah's neighbor problem all President Obama's fault.

    Are the owners on the run?.... should they be?

    She's so fucking immature. I love how she tries to sound so eloquent and sunny in her writing (just like those God awful passages from her goofy 'book,') but she just comes across sounding like a hokey wannabe smartass 13-year-old. If I were the U of Idaho, I'd be telling her to tone down the rhetoric about her being a graduate of the school, especially the part where she claims a journalism degree.

    The first time I read it I thought Joe had come to live next door to you - Gryphen - although it seemed a little odd (not JOe living next to Gryphen, that would be cool - but some fo the statements seemed a little odd if that is what was happening. Did Gryphen also live so close to SP that he could see Piper's bedroom window? share the lake?

    Then I realized it was "from" Sarah and reread it and decided this was something that belonged in The Onion - she wouldn't really have written those things. Just another time someone channeled SP. But that didn't seem to fit with the rest of the post so I had to do a google search to verify that SP actually wrote that piece.
    HOly Moly. I agree - she wrote it. It's very unprofessional. And I suppose Facebook isn't a professional gathering place - but she hopes to be a professional again someday.
    I have a hard time believing she's serious about a 2012 run at President. She doesn't act Presidential. She doesn't even act like a professional. She doesn't seem to even know what are proper boundaries.

  14. You have to admit one thing that's a benefit about Palin's Facebook rant today:

    Sarah Palin just told the whole world Joe McGinniss is her next door neighbor, and it's plain from her scathing comments about what she considers "yellow journalism" and needing now to build a fence that she resents him.

    So if ANYTHING, even a fall or a car accident, befalls Joe McGinniss in the next 5 months, the authorities -- maybe even the Feds, as in FBI -- will know who first to investigate.

    Then they'll come after her C4P sycophants.

    YyyyyyesssssSSSSSS!!! This is outstanding news.

    Joe McGinnis wrote the best and most honest book about Alaska ever, bar none. Rather than delivering a postcard picture of the 49th state, he called it as he saw it. And he was spot on.

    I have a hunch: He is going to eviscerate this epic fail of a family with nothing but a knife of truth. It is going to be fantastic.

    One question: How much must her neighbors loathe her to rent out their house to Joe?

    Didn't she buy the properties next to her primary property for privacy? She could have just built a fence the first time.

    What is Joe writing about? Is it going to duplicate Andrew Dunn? I doubt it, but how is it going to be different? Anyone know?

    Questions:
    1. How long until the fence goes up? I guess one day.

    2. How long until the fence is finished? again, one day.

    3. How long until Gryphen, Jeanne, Shannon, Linda, Anne Kilkenny, etc meet Joe?

    4. How long until Joe invites everyone over for a barbecue?

    5. How many days will SP be in her house this summer? the rest of the family?

    What the? Any psychiatrists out there who could interpret this? She is sounding more mad every day. The woman doesn't recognize that she is the one who put herself in this position, the day she accepted the nomination and keeps herself in the news almost every day. Doesn't recognize that by mentioning her kids in many facebook posts, speeches, family magazine write-ups, photos that her complaints about autonomy just don't get the desired effect anymore.

    They should have bought that house next door and alleviate any privacy problem. Doesn't make sense. Who wants to bet the Palins will contrive some nuisance activity every night next door so Joe can't sleep. Maybe a running audio of her screechy voice over a loudspeaker.

    OH, this is so hilarious! I'm still chuckling. She definitely wrote it, although she had RAM clean it up a bit before it was posted. Sarah should have used some of her millions to buy out all of her neighbors. This is what we've needed, someone on the ground who can literally see what's really going on with that family.

    And, off topic here, but I think I know why Levi isn't talking about Trig. If the Palins have never officially adopted him--which they probably haven't, since it would require going through the legal system--then they have no doubt threatened to come after him with a massive chid support bill if the truth ever comes out. Levi and his family have a vested interest in keeping Sarah's secret.

    Hey, to be fair, I would be upset if an anti-me person moved in next door to me.

    But her FB post, NASTY. And she wonders why people could possibly take issue with her. She invites it.

    Whatever Sarah ever says should boomerang back to her. That is a rule of thumb. Whatever she is shelling onto others, be it a person, an action or a platform - the same goes for her, two-fold.

    So for her to question the "treasure he’s penning" is as appicable to her when she was penning that self-serving, idealized version of her life in Going Rogue, is utterly rich.

    For her to allude to Joe being a dirty old man overlooking Piper’s bedroom (there you go again Sarah, using your children as a shield) and the family’s swimming hole is pure Sarah strategy. Her motive to writing about this is evident, she wants people to harass Joe McGinniss, she wants people to make his life as miserable as she is going to be as a neighbor. Lord knows why he wants to be so close to evil, but it is interesting.

    I love the fact that per Sarah's style, she assumes people will know what the hell she is writing about? She's only gotten his a Google-worthy stats up by this antic.

    Good luck Joe! Your going to need it.

    Gryphen,

    Is this the house that Sarah was renting at one point? I seem to recall you telling us earlier that the Palins were renting a smaller house next door to the new one they were building.

    I wonder if the owners knew what they were doing when they rented it to Mr. McGinniss. Or is it possible that Sarah sublet the house herself, without realizing who he was? That would be the ultimate irony.

She is so manipulative, trying to rile up her followers to go after this guy.

    I understand how horrible it would be for a perceived enemy to move next door--it would suck--but just build a wall and stay classy. This is ridiculous. She's cracking up. Also, it makes me sick how she's trying to pretend that they are a small town country family. No way that witch is mowing the lawn or doing yard work. Please. Where's RAM? Has everyone finally left her now? Who helped her write this crap? She needs an intervention, but there's no one left to do it. Great thing is, if she keeps using her facebook post to vent, she's going to go too far like she always does. I'd love nothing more than a summer of Sarah Palin scandals....

    In case anyone needs a refresher, Joe was one of the three bidders on Ebay for that famous dinner with Sarah. He even bragged about being a bidder (to upset her, no doubt).

    Some of the PeePee People are suggesting violence against Joe, including arson. Since they may be readers here, I would like to offer a suggestion. One act of attempted violence or arson will reopen a big can of worms. There are a few people who may have had a connection to Sarah who met an unexplained death. Arson will only confirm the worst rumors.

We can now stop mourning the loss of Meg Stupidtongue. Please, do keep us updated, Sarah.

    I'm so sure she got home from months of traveling and immediately went out and mowed the lawn and of course with Trig in a backpack on her back because she's superwoman. None of those menfolk could possibly have mowed the lawn, and she couldn't bear to spend any of her 12 million to pay someone to do it. I call bullshit. Love how she set up the imagery for her perverted followers by saying she was in a tank top and shorts. She really came home and sat down with a crunch wrap supreme and turned on TLC's "Say yes to the dress". Love how hard she tries to keep this whole "perfect superwoman" myth alive. I'd love to hear from Joe Mcginnis on whether he actually saw her mowing the grass. It's so obvious that she is trying hard to cover all the bases, but her followers just eat it up. It's also disgusting that she mentions Piper's room. She really has a fixation about her daughters and suggestions of molestation. Imagine how hard she's going to have to work all summer to keep the myth alive with Joe living next door. She thought she was going to be able to lay around and just shoot her TLC show, but now she'll have to shoot moose, mow the lawn, actually put in a garden, have the kids swim in the dead lake and make all the appearances of the perfect family!

We tried our best to intervene, but alas, the heart wants what it wants. We can only pray for him now.

    From Wikipedia:

    McGinniss' book, tentatively titled "Sarah Palin's Year of Living Dangerously" will be published by Broadway/Random House in 2011.

    After reading about this guy, no way would he write about SP and not expose the Trig pregnancy. SP is scared out of her mind and trying to discredit him before the book comes out. He's been researching her since 2009. If Dunn doesn't do it, this guy courts controversy and will get the job done.

    That is wonderful news. I have enjoyed many of Joe McGinnis books over the years, he does an excellent job of dissecting his subject, and with an open mind. I look forward to reading his analysis of the failed VP candidate.

    It must be those nasty building codes Wasilla doesn't have that allowed the property next door to be rented. Obviously without the former half term gov's permission or tenant approval.

    I'm sitting here wondering how Sarah's "I looked up in surprise to see a “new neighbor” overlooking my property just a stone’s throw away" matches up with Bristol's court testimony about living "in the middle of nowhere in Alaska... in the middle of the woods." One or both of them are delusional?

    No words to describe her reaction. As far as this JM renting a house next door, that is very nervy of him. But, how the Palins deal with it is the factor. All they had to do is check municipal guidelines and find out what is considered spying by a neighbor.

    Or just build a fence with that $12M - case closed.

    The personal details she writes on her facebook of her private activities is perplexing. For a woman who says to the media, stay away, or posts signs on their property to stay away, she loves to let everyone know she wears a tank top, and what side of the house Piper's bedroom is on. As a mother, I cannot understand this at all. I'd never divulge anything about our family activities, especially on facebook, with a million(?) followers, as a "political" celebrity. What is her problem?

    Wouldn't a big toddler like Trig be heavy on her back? She's a tiny woman. Sounds like she has a Comic Book Super-Hero Woman complex.

    I think Scarah's distance is a bit off. From the photograph, Joe's balcony looks much further than 15 feet away, more like 100 feet. In the photo, the red shed is on the edge of the Paylin property. Notice how Track (or whoever) had to go almost to the water's edge to take that shot of Joe? Also, it does not look like Joe's balcony overlooks her yard at all.

    A little cheesecake (ugh) for the 80 and over all pale and all male Viagra crowd -- 'I was in a tank top and shorts.' Check

    She's jus' plain folks -- 'She was out mowin' that grass all by her lonesome' (yeah, right). Check

    She evoked the sacred image of Trig for the anti-choicers who love them little babies so much in the womb. After that, not so much -- 'I got 'my' 35 lb. infant whom I really actually despise on my back while I'm mowin' that grass' (again, yeah, right.)Check, check and check

    Second, my little slice of life in the Mat Su Valley is just wonderful. The neibors are at least 10 acres away. If not more. And yeah, 2 acres of lawn or what I like to call, my dirt making material. Mulch, baby mulch! Of course I've got to pack the kid around on the lawn mower. Except I've a riding mower. I also have a child car seat straped to the back of my ATV. Call me crazy, but the ATV is the mode of transportation where I'm at.

    Gryphen, is it possible to find a better way to distinguish your writing from the excerpts you post? It seems there are some of us having a hard time deciphering when the excerpts end and your commentary begins. It may show up fine on your computer, but it looks pretty much the same to me.

    I guess we can relate to Palin's unease if we think about what it would feel like to have someone you know doesn't like you move in next door during a season when you might be outside more or have windows open. Plus, if that someone was known to be writing a book about you and your family, well, I can relate to her unease. However, that said, she went far, far beyond a normal reaction.

    It's one thing to feel put upon or uneasy, but it's quite another to insinuate that your new neighbor might be a pedophile or sex stalker. She is right on the border of sanity and psycholand.

    BTW, with two buildings in their compound, why not just have Piper move into another bedroom for the summer? That's not a big deal.

    Goodness knows, they have all the room they need and then some.

    Also, too, because I've read that Wasilla doesn't have building codes, how tall will that fence be? As tall as they can manage, right?

    I figure they are going to make putting it up as noisy as possible to get on Joe's nerves.

    Gotta love it.

    First Palin claims McGinnis is 15 feet away. Look at the picture. It's not 15 feet.

    Then she talks about her "family's return" from the lower 48 endorsement tour, implying the whole passel of them, plus or minus 1 or 2- had accompanied her. False. She was videotaped trying to sneak out of Idaho after endorsing the known loser/liar Vaughan Ward- she may have had Trig but she sure didn't have her "family."

    Then she titillates her teabag friends by implying that- just for them- she dressed skimpily in a tank top and shorts to mow the lawn with her 2 year old son strapped on her back. Sound believable?

    Then she has the deck overlooking her children's play area, her kitchen window, Piper's bedroom, her garden, and the Palin family swimming hole. Must be a hell of a deck.

    What a pack of lies. About the only truth out of this is that Palin's neighbors are like her and will do anything for money and/or they can't stand her and rented the house just to get her goat- which they easily did.

    His opponent, Joe Sestak, has worked to strengthen unions, voted against the Iraq war, is more moderate overall, willing to go after corporate greed and obstructionism, and miltarism (which has displaced diplomacy to th delight of the arms manufacturers).

    Given your effors to unmask Palin, I'm surprised IM would accept ads for Toomey since his record is not different in crucial aspects from the anti-working class, pro-war, pro-Wall St. policies promoted by Palin and her monied backers.

Even in LA, NY and places where celebrities frequent most, people leave them alone. Celebrities are allowed to enjoy life outside without much annoyance. And SArah does NOT bring it on herself. Whats the difference betweem Angelina taking her tykes to the set, Katie leaving Suri backstage when she was on broadway, MAriska bringing August to the SVU set, and Sarah bringing a kid to a speech? How do you know the other kids are/aren't receiving education? Stop with the double standards where kids come in. There are plenty of other things to worry about, starting with Sarah's preparation for the presidency.

He's done some fiction (crime fiction I believe) and non-crime non-fiction too, but I think he's best known for his true crime books - about the Kissel brothers (murder), Jeffrey McDonalds (murder), Selling of a President (Nixon), Blind Faith (murder), Fatal Justice (a murder trial), The Darkest Night (murder). The not-crime stories include: The Last Brother (about TEd Kennedy), and most recently Going To Extremes (about Alaska)

    I wonder what JM uncovered while doing Going to Extremes. crime? or just byzantine intrigue.

    The Palins were the ones to trespass and "invade space". Did Joe McGinniss INVITE Todd Palin to come over and question him? No. That's trespassing onto the rental property.

    Did Joe McGinniss invite Track to take a picture of him, and did Sarah Palin get his permission to take a picture of him AND post it on her Facebook page?

    OK, that isn't necessarily a requirement, because Joe McGinniss is a public figure himself -- which is why Palin herself has no right to claim SHE'S the victim in this situation unless she's willing to give Joe Mcinniss the same courtesy she's demanding for herself.

    "sjk from the belly of the plane 10:19am" brought up a very good point. Joe (can I call him Joe?) legally rented a house in Wasilla which I would think is great for the local economy and now Sarah has pictures taken of him relaxing on his patio enjoying a beautiful day. In my humble opinion, I believe the Palins invaded Joe’s privacy by taking spy pictures and posting it on Sarah’s Facebook. So I do not think the Palins should complain if Joe takes some pictures of them in return. As Mr. Sarah Palin mentioned, “What goes around, comes around”. So ReTodd, you took the first pictures so I would not complain if “Joe the Photographer” reciprocated in kindness.

    "The Republicans have bet the bank on turning the country against government, in the hopes that it will get the Democrats unelected. Except that the kooks are hearing the GOP's message, about Obama being a socialist, about there being Maoists in the Cabinet, about Obama wanting to kill your grandma, and they're responding accordingly "

    This really made me laugh. And I make way better pie than whatshername. If I still lived in Alaska I would deliver a pie to Joe The Neighbor. lol! Speaking of which, we have a great tradition in my area. We throw pie parties. Cozy fireside pie parties in the winter; sunny outdoor pie parties in the summer. Seems like Joe might need to throw a pie party. (no, I did not say throw a pie, though that sounds like a great way to finish a pie party)

    Anon 10:25, this blog is not about a fake pregnancy. It is about a discussion of all things related to immorality and corruption and working to become aware and educated (see the heading of the blog). I know that education is the bane of those who don't like to question and who feel threatened by other opinions, so it can be hard to identify civil discourse by those who aren't familiar with it.

  142. McGinnis' move to Wasilla shows the determination, tenacity and creativity of true American exceptionalism.

    He is a respected and best-selling author who merely wanted to have a conversation with her. He was willing to pay generously for her time. I believe he even disclosed the issues he wanted to discuss.

    I'm not at all convinced McGinnis is Palin's foe. It seems more likely that he is making valiant attempts to be objective by seeking her input. She had the power to charm and positively influence his writings about her. So what did she do? Rather than look at his move to Lake Lucille at face value, she responded with paranoia, venom and lies. If he wasn't planning to write about her damaged psyche before her disgusting facebook spew, it will be difficult to avoid now. She is guaranteeing him another bestseller.

    Given how Sarah so frequently exhibits the 'crazies', how can anyone not see that she is indeed capable of faking a pregnancy and pulling off a baby-switching scheme.

Yet, she complains about a 60 something man who rents for part of a year. Move in with the former VP, or Rove. You spoke with them before you walked out on the citizens of Ak. last year. A whining woman is a weak woman. And by the way, there is no way she could mow the grass even if she did not have a heavy child on her back. She is too weak.

    I live in a high density part of a community with zoning codes. When I saw the aerial views of the château I was stunned that they were so clumped up in that little section of the alleged back woods. That's what you get in a place that cares zero for zoning and codes. Reap what you sow Todd and Sarah. Build your 100 foot tall fence. Hilarious. No one can canoe at a resort?

    This was taken before the new building, you can see how near to the Best Western, where I will definitely try to book a suite and see how the fishing goes. We have been curious how long of a walk it is to the old Shooter's pool hall and plan on doing some walking and hiking in the area.

    In Palin-speak this means his article was so spot on she had to use a department in her administration to criticize it and demonize him.

    Also, liberals are the ones used to cleaning up messes...Clinton after Reagan and Obama after Bush. You're as delusional as your queen, who after flying first class, staying in 4 star hotels and sipping on bendy straws is certainly not doing hard labor or carrying Trig around when there are no cameras. Sarah's just having a bad day, lashing out because her pick in SC is being exposed as a fraud. But of course, birds of a feather...

    The locals liked Sarah because she attracted money to the area. If the media moves up there (filming Discovery and other) that will generate money in the Valley.

    Sarah just has to be fuming inside. You know how she hates everyone that is critical of her.

    Facts: Todd went over to the new neighbor and a Palin took a photo of him when he was not looking, posted it for over a million or more to see then insinuate he is a stalker and pedophile. The Palin's are masters at turning things around that they do onto others.

    Sarah will say anthing to incite her followers manipulating them to rise to aggression, death wishes, contemplate murder and act out exactly what Sarah wants them to do appearing to keep her hands clean. It is disturbing to read her followers thoughts to see to Joe's demise.

    Anyone removing the mask (projected image) of personality Palin exemplifies is perceived as causing their demise. Palin needs her false images of perfection including she cares for Track, Bristol, the rest and two babies..the lawn etc. It is pathetic.

    Joe McGinniss Can Watch Sarah Palin Mow Her Lawn While He Writes About Her New York Observer - Zeke Turner -
    Joe McGinniss has found a great summer rental where he can work on his book about Sarah Palin — right next door to her house in Alaska.
    Ms. Palin posted photos of Mr. McGinniss standing on his deck overlooking her property on her Facebook page late last night.
    Mr. McGinniss, who has written about Ms. Palin before for Portfolio, is not the only writer poking around Wasilla however. "...apartments for Mr. Palin or the Palins’ older children (Bristol Palin, 19, has said, however, that she is living on her own with Tripp and paying her own bills with the help of handsome speaking fees) and a well-appointed office for Ms. Palin."

    Don't forget that Discovery will have their cameras and crews in the area, also, too. It will be a long cool summer. One can only hope that Levi gets some work for his hockey 'shore' boys. I would love to see Snookie pay a visit.

    That's a typical know-nothing Palinbot comment if ever there was one.

    Joe McGinniss spent months in Alaska in the late 1970s, travelling all over the state. He visited all of the major cities, many of the small towns, and even took a good long hike through the Brooks Range.

    He returned recently to Alaska, too, although Sarah Palin made no mention of THAT in yesterday's Facebook rant.

    November 1, 2009 New York Daily News: Joe McGinniss recently spent three weeks in Palin's town in Wasilla, Alaska.

    "I stopped by her house," says McGinniss, who brought along a copy of his 1980 book, "Going to Extremes," about his adventures in Alaska. "Her son Track answered the door, [just back from Iraq]. We had a pleasant chat. He said he'd give her the book."

    McGinniss was struck by the size of the construction on the lot the Palins have bought next to their present home.

    "They're building another house and an airplane hangar," he says. "It's like a summer White House in the making. Just based on the size of the compound, I'd say Sarah and Todd are staying together."

    As for reports of infidelity, he says, "I'm not intending to write a salacious book about Sarah Palin's sex life. But if it's true, I'll find out."
