The Poorman points out the obvious: Alaska seems very foreign.In fact, it is — and I know this because I graduated from high school in Fairbanks and lived there for years. It is actually, in many ways, like a foreign planet. A very cold and icy foreign planet. Don’t tell Cokie.

There is much to be said about Sarah Palin, but I think the thing I like the most about this choice is the fact that McCain chose someone from the state which is simultaneously the most oil drenched and the one that is suffering the most dramatically from global warming. Not that the governor cares. She’s far more concerned about saving blastocysts in petrie dishes than saving drowning polar bears.
