Because only awesomeness can come from googling sarah palin egypt

From the lips of America's next President:

"And nobody yet has, nobody yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak and no, not, not real enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level and from DC in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt. And, in these areas that are so volatile right now, because obviously it's not just Egypt but the other countries too where we are seeing uprisings, we know that now more than ever, we need strength and sound mind there in the White House. We need to know what it is that America stands for so we know who it is that America will stand with. And, we do not have all that information yet."


On a completely unrelated note


I'm linking to this Card essay on talk radio because I have an honest question: has Card always been this cool on Huckabee?

My experience with Southern Baptist religion -- grew up around them and had an ex-Southern Baptist dad -- is that they have some sort of beef with MOST religious. The further away from Southern Baptist ideology the other religion is, the more they hate it. Roman Catholics, Mormons, and Jews are especially hated, but Protestants are tolerated as merely misguided. My dad dropped the church by the 1950s, yet the culture was so ingrained that was still suspicious of the Mormon family that moved in next door to us in the late 1980s. It's probably going to be difficult for Romney overcome the attitudes of that culture.

Note to everyone: Please do not mistake this comment as sympathy for Mittens.

As the atheist kid of lapsed Other Kind Of Baptists, I find they've mostly thought of me as conversion fodder.
