Before you read this, you may want to look up the word "rogue" in the dictionary. Here's a link:

Okay. At this point you've either looked up "rogue" or you somehow know exactly what the word means in which case we may have the same question in mind; why on Earth would anyone name their autobiography "Going Rogue: An American Life"? Who would look at that definition set and say "one or more of these definitely applies to me"?
Is Sarah Palin stupid? Yes, but no stupider than anyone else, including me. She may even be a little smarter. Or she may just get away with more stuff in spite of her claims of an unprecedented scrutiny on her. There is no positive connotation of this word except its noun use meaning "mischievous person." She refers to herself as "deceitful" and "unprincipled" in the title of her book and no one notices. Wow.
It's been a hell of a year, but for me, this is right up near the top.
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST (maybe)

This is making me question Samsung's name for my new phone, too. Why do I want a dishonest, trampy phone? Hmmm, or maybe that's exactly what I need. Carry on.
