"Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance."

- from a questionnaire Sarah Palin answered while running for governor.

the pledge was written in 1892. unless the zombie founding fathers wrote it, and then rose again in the 1950s to campaign for the addition of "under God" because they forgot it the first time, they had nothing to do with it.

she also believes in abstinence education instead of actual sex ed classes, and she supports teaching of intelligent design. what an intellectual powerhouse.

What I love about this choice is that they've chosen a candidate who's currently under legislative investigation, accused of firing the state's public safety commissioner for not firing her former brother-in-law. Beside and beyond all the other obvious issues I'd have with her (the same ones you do), I'm genuinely puzzled how choosing someone who's under investigation for possible impropriety is a smart move. Doesn't seem like a smart move. It is all about judgment, isn't it?

$50 says the talking points(tm) will paint any mention of corruption or impropriety on her part as an attack against her for being a woman. The people who choose to believe this are exactly the people they're trying to win over, namely the craziest and stupidest of Hillary Clinton's supporters.

now this is probably too crazy to be true, but my is it delicious.

The fact that the tot has Down Syndrome makes it a lot more likely that Sarah is the mother not the grandmother.

I mean, it's not like you could actually keep a secret like that.

i said it was too crazy to be true. (also, Obama is secretly a muslim who will turn the country over to the terrorists when he is elected, and McCain's youngest is his illegitimate daughter by a black prostitute.)

I'm not sure it is too crazy to be true. (acknowledging the Down's Syn thing.)

And if there's one state in the country where you might be able to pull it off...
