Legion, I don’t think surviving after a plane crash is a good criterion for picking presidents. (Not that I am naming names or anything…) I’m sure the Unabomber would do pretty well in the woods.
legion- sure, in a plane crash in the wilderness. But to lead this country? Chomsky by a mile. She’s a survivalist, not a leader. You need a lot more capabilities to run a country than being able to shoot a wolf from a helicopter. She has a skill set anyone can acquire (heck- I would trust Lech to make me a coat out of squirrels). It certainly doesn’t make her a great thinker- just a mediocre one.
dibs- she may be a smart cookie but her lack of responsibility to the people who elected her, and her lack of ethics are what I’m interested in. She threw that out to make money. She’s fine as a media figure ( we need more comedy in the media anyway)- but as a leader? Not even close.
“If you were in a plane crash in a remote area,
would you choose Sarah Palin as your co-survivor
or Noam Chomsky?”
Chomsky for mental stimulation.
Palin for physical stimulation.
Depends what one is looking for.

Since I find the sound of Sarah Palin’s voice annoying, I would choose anyone but her as a co-survivor.

I wonder what Palin’s stance on bike lanes is?
Arkady,
I think that’s it!

I’ll try to photograph it next time he comes around
