Grace — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:15:00 EST

According to a source at publishing house HarperCollins, the book Going Rogue by former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tops the bestseller list.

For those of you who earnestly supported her or for those of you who can't get enough Palin-bashing, here's a free maverick-y eCard from our sister site MyFunCards (courtesy of our friends at Busted Tees) if you're a maverick's maverick - or have a maverick friend. Translation: Click on the image above to send it via e-mail or to grab the code and post it to a friend's profile.

After the jump, check out Palin highlights from last year's campaign. Will her book be any more articulate? I'm looking at you, Going Rogue ghostwriter!

My favorite photo blogs + dress up your funny pics for free

(via This is Photobomb)

We all want to frame our precious moments: baby's first steps, your nephew's christening, Sis's wedding day...But what about the more, er, colorful times captured on camera? I think those snapshots deserve recognition, too.

That's why I love our sister site Webfetti's free Fab Foto application. Choose a disparate photo frame, insert text, add a jaunty mustache graphic, and skin your picture with special effects. Use these features to heighten the pics' absurdity, poke fun at yourself and your buds, and commemorate those special moments that you wouldn't dare frame for the mantelpiece.

Plus, check out my favorite photo blogs dedicated to photobombs (like the one starring actor Jake Gyllenhaal above), cliché kissy face snapshots, and awkward family photos. You're welcome!

Conan O'Brien said during his opening monologue on the November 4th episode of "The Tonight Show" (via Laugh Lines):

[On Tuesday], voters in the state of Maine voted no to gay marriage, but yes to medical marijuana. That’s right, people in Maine believe marriage should be a sacred institution between a really stoned man and a really stoned woman.
