That would be a more fitting slogan for certain cartoonists who think that they have some kind of cleverness. In the magazine The Week this week (no pun intended) there was an ad for Sarah Palin’s new book Going Rogue.

Biographical sources on the former governor indicate she was a real bookworm growing up and has read quite a bit, unlike the artist of the cartoon. Or maybe he/she only reads slanted journalists like Katie Couric.
