So, Palin hasn’t met with enough foreign leaders to be president?

I guess this should take care of that hoop:

Sarah Palin will meet with foreign leaders next week at the United Nations, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed strategist with John McCain’s campaign.

Any other hoops she’ll have to jump through to be worthy of attending funerals in the future (which is the traditional job of the VP).

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

Michele, your feeble attempts to defend Sarah Palin destroy whatever credibility as a thinker you have left.
As Maureen Dowd observed today, “McCain is taking Palin to the opening of the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday to shake hands with some heads of state. You can’t contract foreign policy experience like a rhinovirus. To paraphrase the sniffly Adelaide in `Guys and Dolls.’ a poy-son could develop a cold war.”
Do you honestly believe Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP? Do you think someone who answered “Perhaps so” to the question of whether we need to go to war against Russia, whose claim to having foreign policy experience rests on her being able to see Russia from Alaska, who lied (or allowed the campaign to lie) about her visiting Iraq, should have access the the nuclear code?
In recent days no fewer than five prominent conservative spokespersons including David Brooks, David Frum and Richard Cohen have come forward and admitted that she is unqualified. I wish you’d redeem yourself–at least within the boundaries of this little community–by doing the same.

Correction: Cohen is a moderate liberal who says he was “in the tank for McCain”:
“In an op-ed entitled `The Ugly New McCain,’ Cohen complains that the Republican presidential candidate has now `become the sort of politician he once despised.’
`I am one of the journalists accused over the years of being in the tank for McCain,’ Cohen writes. `Guilty. Those doing the accusing usually attributed my feelings to McCain being accessible. This is the journalist-as-puppy school of thought: Give us a treat, and we will leap into a politician’s lap.’
“According to Cohen, McCain has `soiled’ his integrity by capitulating to the right and for standing by his false political advertisements.
`His opportunistic and irresponsible choice of Sarah Palin as his political heir — the person in whose hands he would leave the country — is a form of personal treason, a betrayal of all he once stood for,’ Cohen writes. `Palin, no matter what her other attributes, is shockingly unprepared to become president. McCain knows that. He means to win, which is all right; he means to win at all costs, which is not.’”

It is only appropriate that she meet some of the damned furriners before she has to attend their funerals. Then she will know whom she is shooting.

Wouldn’t it be simpler if all the foreign leaders just came to Russia, which she can see from her house?
