Here’s another clip from the couric interview. This is just b-a-d, and is really indicative of the education given to today’s ‘leaders.’

Katie Couric: You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?

Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border
between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the
land-boundry that we have with Canada. It‘s funny that a comment like
that was kinda made to … I don‘t know, you know … reporters.

Couric: Mocked?

Palin: Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah.

Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.

Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door
neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the
executive of. And there…

Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It’s
very important when you consider even national-security issues with
Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the
United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just
right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make
sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia,
because they are right next to, they are right next to our state.

By the way, Anchorage, AK is around 4,350 miles away from the capital of Russa, Moscow.

Please take a moment to visit boingboing’s coverage of Putin rearing his head.

A woman in Barrie, Canada is considering legal action against her child’s school after claims of sexual abuse were made to the Children’s Aid Society. The student’s "educational assistant" went to a psychic who told her that ’somebody with a name starting with the letter "v" was being sexually abused by a 23-26 year old man. From the National Post:

Shortly after arriving home, Ms. Leduc received a phone call from Victoria’s teacher.

"The teacher said you have to come back to school right away — it’s urgent. My heart was racing," said Ms. Leduc, who went back to the school and met with the teacher, vice-principal and principal.

"The teacher looked at me and said: ‘We have to tell you something. We have to tell you that Victoria’s EA went to see a psychic and the psychic asked her if she works with a little girl with the initial V. When the EA said yes, the psychic said, ‘Well, you need to know that this girl is being sexually abused by a man between the ages of 23 and 26.’"

The school officials then gave Ms. Leduc a list of behaviours that Victoria was exhibiting.

"You must remember that Victoria has severe autism and is entering puberty so she is exhibiting behaviours that are very common with children of this age but, being autistic and not having been taught otherwise, she will exhibit these behaviours in public," Ms. Leduc said.

The list included putting her hands down her pants, spitting, seeking to sit on cold objects and gyrating against staff members.

"The principal looks at me and says, ‘We’ve called CAS.’ Then I got sick to my stomach.

"I challenged them and asked if the other children in the class with autism exhibited these behaviours. They said, ‘Oh yes, all the time.’ But they were not reported to the CAS because they didn’t have the psychic’s tip."

This is some stupid s#!+. Nobody should ever consider the vague ramblings of a psychic to be evidence in a criminal case. This could have ended a lot worse, and I’m glad to say that as soon as the CAS got involved, the investigation was ended.

Remember: Psychic’s don’t need your gas money.

When ink and pen in hands of men inscribed your form, bibedal P

They draw an altar on which God has slaughtered all stability

No ice could ever soak in all the places you annoint

And yet to see you all at once we only need the point

Flirting with infinity your geometric progeny

That fit inside you oh so tight with triangles that feel so right

Your ever-constant harmony says flaw is discipline

The patron saint of imperfection frees us from our sin

And if our transcendental lift should find a final floor

Then man will know the death of God where wonder was before

Yeah, I know this pi **** backwards and forwards

Check it out

Bip bi-di-di

I did 3 chicks then I pointed at the door

A girl entered in so that made it 4

I snapped one time in came another 5

Add ‘em all up and that makes 9

The average age 26.5

Now that’s what I call gettin’ some pi

5 of the chicks wore 6-inch heels

2 of the 9 squealed like seals

514 was the area code

Quebec, Canada my winter abode

And my 1.3 million dollar chalet

Pi backwards, pi forwards, all night and all day
