  - Heaven help us, but maybe she's *learning*! Soon she'll become self-aware and that'll be all she wrote. -- nm - TWuG Jun 16, 16:50 1

- Agreed it was a bad joke and Palin has a right to be angry.... - Remlik Jun 16, 16:49 11
  - I partially agree with you. - Dr.Vermin Jun 16, 16:53 5
    - Only problem is that reason is justification after the fact. - the liioulu with shibiuchi Jun 16, 16:55
    - to me...a real small part. -- nm - Remlik Jun 16, 16:55 3
