Sarah Palin Gives a Powerful Speech
Oooh. And there's an interview with her after the speech. I missed the first bit of it.
"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." * Martin Luther King Jr. // * "There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them." * George Orwell // Want to contact the Stubble Jumping Redneck?

"If she can govern as well as she can deliver a prepared speech, she will change America."
Yeah. The connection between those two thoughts is REALLY clear.
If Doreen, the very nice young woman who works at the diner just down the road from me, can govern as well as she flips a burger, she will change Canada.
The Palin thing is a difficult choice for conservatives. You can do like Kathy Shaidle, and acknowledge that Palin is a vapid but marketable ditz, an amusing weapon for pissing off progressives, but nothing resembling an actual leader.
Or you can go the Sentinel/Dodo route and adoringly sip champagne from her slippers, pretending there's actually serious political thought happening in there.
How is it gonna shake out for you, Louise?
Two things:
1) "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
2) It appears Balb doesn't know the meaning of the word "if".
Gosh, that brings back memories. I haven't seen the "cryptic as profound" card played since I was in high school.
But seriously - Balb illustrated his understanding of the word "if", and its fundamental irrelevance to this construct, in his third paragraph, thanks much.
