True - very true. Too bad the majority of the rest only hear what they want to as well.

#16 on the Palin Lies list is one of the scarier ones for me, having worked at a college where the president did just that and seeing the effect that had on the experiences of all who were not in their clique. And it seems she has a history of doing just that in Alaska.

I found them in the readers comments at another site. I put them both as quoted to denote they weren't my observations, (I didn't even see the debate because I was at work), just throwing in what I'm seeing elsewhere.

As always, suspect everything you read, and do your own research.

Oh, I know, Bruce. I was just pointing out what I saw, what I heard, and how that comment was a stretch!

You're a good egg, in my egg book.

Hee hee. I nearly sprayed my monitor with half-chewed homemade goat cheese when I read that one.

Absolutely. I gave it to a faculty member who, after he realized the gist but before he actually read it said "You betcha!" Then he said "Hey, it says that on there!"
