Wow! Everybody, we're going to Sail's for breakfast. I'm sure she won't mind.
Re: the SNL skit referenced above -- what REALLY gets me are the parts that are word-for-word from Palin's actual answers.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

I know! I was howling-- when they were talking about the bailout plan and Fey's answer started out exactly like Palin's and then ventured into the "dollar meal menus for everyone" territory, it took me a minute to realize what she'd said. Because it sounded SO perfectly in line with something Palin would say.

More than a few people have noticed that Biden was on hand to offer a lot of post-debate analysis and reaction on the news shows, whereas Palin is incommunicado, as per usual.

Wasn't that why Giuliani was in Mississippi. Because he can actually string together a coherent sentence? Which, I have to think, must have chapped McCain's ass because he doesn't really like Rudy, does he?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For my math Ph. D., I had to pass one foreign language exam, with the language being my choice of French, German, or Russian. That's pretty standard for math programs -- some require two languages. But the exam is pretty easy -- they just give you a few pages of an article in the language to translate into English, with the help of a dictionary. Two of my friends passed the French exam without ever having taken a French course. (And one of them had Japanese as his first language, and his English isn't all that great.) What they're looking for isn't so much "proficiency" as "if you really must figure out what someone's saying, you can."

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I wonder how low the bar is set at this point for pundits to declare "Palin did what she needed to do in this debate", when it ends? Is not speaking in tongues sufficient? Will she declared to have debated successfully in the debate if her sentences flow into coherent paragraphs?
