I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Keith Olbermann asks Sarah Palin some serious questions
10 minutes of serious questions and comparisons for Sarah Palin.
Yes, Palin is definitely living in a glass house here. Of course the "base" to whom she preaches believe everything she says and don't bother to question her falsehoods. The really outrageous thing is that Palin and McCain seem to be deliberately inciting audiences in Florida to turn on the media, as well as threaten Obama. The McCain camp is desperate and since they have no ideas, they just try to stay on the attack. I think Americans are smarter than that, on the whole. I'm staying up all night to watch the debate! :)
I thought he did Van. I posted it because I had never ever seen anything like it ...
I hope you enjoyed the debate, Tara. I've read about it but really have problems watching it without anger. I was stunned when McCain absolutely rejected Barack's handshake after the debate.
I'm not sure Sarah realises how dangerous it is to incite crowds to violence ... then again, maybe it's not political naievity, perhaps it is something more sinister. It strongly reminds me of the neo-nazi, extreme right wing stuff we see here in Europe and it's a dangerous genie to let out of the bottle.
I agree Di: extremist right-wing politicians use similar dirty tricks in Belgium as well.
Although they are by far not as dumb as Palin: not even the most extreme Belgian politician would be stupid enough to present such a incoherent, religiously fanatic amount of brain-dead nonsense to score.
FOX viewers love Palin, and that says a lot about a part of US society.

although keith can get annoying, he does have some points here.

Fox defies understanding for me ...
