Too bad, I love the Madagascar Penguins, but both vids seemed to have died already.

An excellent argument against the use of statistics & powerpoint presentations!

Well, I cannot really say I enjoyed this. I mean, the mere thought of Palin possibly becoming the vp is more than any reasonably thinking person could take, isn't it? But I had been wondering (having access to maps, unlike Ms Palin and Miss Teen South Carolina) what she would actually be able to see "from her home", but was too lazy to dig into it. So, thanks for doing my research for me. Are you from Alaska or did you just happen to come across this vid or did you seriously do some research?

NP. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for posting this. I know it doesn't really matter, but I had been wondering what/how much/from where one would actually have a view of Russia from Alaska (realising one couldn't possibly see it from either Wasilla, Juneau or Anchorage).

The woman doesn’t have a clue. It’s pretty obvious that most of her answers are rehearsed (if asked the question again, she’ll simply repeat the first answer). Look at her getting confused with the climate change question: it’s not enterily man-made, I’m not going to blame anybody, but we have to do something. Yeah, if it’s not man-made and if you don’t believe in the forces of nature climate change is God-made, oops.... Re abortion she doesn’t seem to understand the difference between making it illegal and putting a 16-year old in jail (well, here are some in between things that could happen http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/26/AR2008092602833_pf.html "> If Roe Goes).
And then she tells us that her best friend is not her gay friend, but a friend who happens to have "made the choice" to be gay.
Can someone please tell McCain that Miss Teen South Carolina would be a better option?

Great idea!

Thanks a million! I'm still trying to figure out how many points I need to sift things that are not from the usual embedable suspects, but I always seem to get lost between al the ranks/chartered/power point-rules, so you really saved me here.

Not at all. In fact that's I uploaded it to Dailymotion, because I knew YouTube would pull the plug on it. I lost my internet connection for a while and just got it back a minute ago, and I intended to tell you about it being on Dailymotion as soon as possible. Glad you found it without my help.

I hope you don't mind my using your post on the Dailymotion-site to fix it.

Bono is the king of Ireland? You learn something new every day.

And Amy Poehler's incessant blinking was cracking me up at the end!

The Italians should be careful or pizza will be declared unpatriotic soon.

***** mine don't

Well, you have to admit that she's got an exceptionally nice set of Christian morals.

And I thought Ann Coulter was the worst .

Not that surprising, actually. Being Jewish doesn't mean one has to support the state of Israel and/or zionism. The people protesting here are Neturei Karta (http://www.nkusa.org), an orthodox group who believe i.a. that a Jewish state should not be a worldly state, but rather a spiritual state not to be established until the arrival of the Messiah, and therefore think that the land should be returned to the Arabs/Palestinians.

, LoL, LoL, you might be right, last time I said something like that my post was hijacked into a serious porn discussion and thus managed to get almost on top of my list, so maybe I should be more careful...
