Oh, Sarah, you silly goose

Criticizing a speaker for using a teleprompter is like criticizing a surgeon for using a scalpel. It's a tool. Nothing more.

Palin's followers are so easily bamboozled, however, that they probably believe those frauds in the Philippines who pretend to do surgery with bare hands. And no teleprompters.

Worst job in the world

I pity the poor sap among Sarah Palin's handlers who draws the short straw and has to tell her that she's too old for her hairstyle.

The spice of life

How boring life would be without all the little contradictions that pile up and up and up.

Case in point: I just applied for a multimedia "boot camp" that teaches audio, photo and Soundslides.

Multimedia, 99.99% computerized. But this application has to be snail-mailed; no email, no online application.
