ok, i’m sorry, i just can’t stop…
heading out to dj in london, but i have to share this pearl of wisdom from
john mccain’s wife, cindy.
when asked about sarah palin’s foreign policy experience
cindy mccain talked about how alaska is sort of close to russia…
so, by republican logic, sarah palin must have foreign policy experience because her state
is only some hundreds of miles from a remote, sparsely inhabited part of russia(never mind
that alaska is actually around 10,000 miles from moscow…).
so proximity = experience?
ok, so:
i live a few blocks from a mosque, does that mean i understand islam?
and, oh, they go deep sea fishing in the atlantic ocean, and new york
is on the atlantic ocean, so that means i understand deep sea fishing?
how exciting, see all you have to do is be SORT OF NEAR something to understand it.
this means that kids don’t actually have to GO to school, they just need to live
sort of near to a school and they’ll be educated through proximity.
eesh.
