Some people have blond moments or senior moments. I usually have dyslexic moments. Letters get scrambled or entire words get replaced according to what my brain thinks should be there. Sometimes, I'm glad I'm the only one who notices.   But it sometimes turns out I was right all along. Case in point: Last night, I was watching The National, the CBC late night news and saw a report on Sarah Palin's book,Going Rogue. However, I was sure I saw "GoingRouge," which I found to be a strange title. Later, I saw the book cover again and concluded that I had misread the title the first time. Yep, another dyslexic moment, I thought, UNTIL...The Nationalpresented a clarification tonight. Apparently, there actually is a spoof of Palin's book calledGoing Rouge, and the report from the night before actuallydidshow a copy ofGoing Rougeby mistake. The mistake was corrected for subsequent editions for other time zones.   So, it WASN'T a dyslexic moment. I was right after all!

    Maybe they should release the book with both of those titles. She could appeal to those that like her politics and those that just like the way she looks.
