Taking Notes

Dear Prudence Palin... This is a notecard. Note cards are handy tools for public speaking. You can write notes on them that you intend to use while you are speaking in public. Showing up with a few of these can even make people believe that you have thoroughly prepared for your presentation. A speaker with note cards can appear to be collected and can even rely on them as a bit of a crutch. But all anyone who ever writes anything on her hand ever looks like she's doing is cheating. Listen. If a note card like the one above was good enough for President John F. Kennedy...don't you think it might be okay for you, too?
