		<description>God, Gary, I so totes already made that comment like weeks ago. It's pointless anyway, as the fact that you can see Russia (whether from your house or elsewhere in your state) makes you an expert about exactly jack shit.

Anyway, let's talk about something interesting, like whether cars should have cheat codes.</description>

		<description>You are misquoting Sarah Palin... she said (paraphrased) "There are parts of Alaska, from which you can see Russia." ... It was actually Tina Fey's sattire that said, "I can see Russia from my house."</description>

		<description>Yes, Zoom, because anyone that was reasonably intelligent or informed would clearly have voted for McCain.  Obviously.

One of the major points of this post was how stupid the average American voter is.  Of course that's an easy scapegoat for any election loser, but that's the name of the game: duping the flock into voting for you.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Okay, recall, how how our devoted teachers and social studies books, to boot, stated, that it was plausible how the first residents of North america made it across the frozen 50 mile stretch!!!&lt;/blockquote&gt; Yes, Tina. This is one of the few bits of information in social studies books that is still considered true.  It's still a non-sequitur.  Why isn't McCain touting the fact that he comes from a border state as foreign policy experience? Because no one would ever do that unless they were completely void of &lt;i&gt;actual&lt;/i&gt; foreign policy experience.
&lt;blockquote&gt;Why, they hate the fact that an attractive woman with 5 kids can elevate herslef to possible VP.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Personally, I &lt;i&gt;love&lt;/i&gt; the fact that a mother of 5 can elevate "herslef" to state governor and possible VP.  But again, you're bringing up logical disparate points.  Being a mother or father &lt;i&gt;alone&lt;/i&gt; does not make you qualified for likely becoming the leader of the richest country in the world.  Senator Clinton or Speaker Pelosi understand &lt;i&gt;volumes&lt;/i&gt; more about national and international politics than Governor Palin.  Tina, I really hope, for all of our sakes, that you're voting in this election because of reasons more intellectual than whether or not a candidate has a vagina.
&lt;blockquote&gt;The distance from Washington, D.C. to Madrid, Spain is only 3,800 miles.&lt;/blockquote&gt; I thought you were going to suggest McCain choose me as his running mate there for a second, 'drinker.</description>

		<description>I hear that the distance from Wasilla, Alaska to Moscow, Russia is about 4,350 miles. The distance from Washington, D.C. to Madrid, Spain is only 3,800 miles. If proximity makes for foreign policy experience, you'd think McCain would at least &lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1842156,00.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;know who the Prime Minister of Spain is&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Our social studies teachers must be rolling in their graves!!! To re-iterate here, where in the hell is common sense? The Bering Strait is creates a mere 50 mile pass between tje most eastern coast of Russia, and the , andlaska's most western reach.

Okay, recall, how how our devoted teachers and social studies books, to boot, stated, that it was plausible how the first residents of North america made it across the frozen 50 mile stretch!!!

why is the press, and haters of Palin out to say the proximity of Alaska to Russian is meanlingless? Why, they hate the fact that an attractive woman with 5 kids can elevate herslef to possible VP. God bless palin and all the women of the world, that are not recognized for the advancements they have made...</description>
