American Society for Indexing Announces Golden Turkey Award, and the winner is…

…Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue, which does not include an index, although several online attempts to provide one (serious and not-so-serious) have been made (see, for example, a not-so-serious index posted on Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2235917/ and a somewhat more earnest attempt by the New Republic: http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/the-going-rogue-index).

This award was not meant as a political statement; the point is, rather, that surely any book on a former and possibly future candidate for political office is important enough to deserve an index.  For the full announcement, see http://www.asindexing.org/site/PR20091120.shtml.
