When we pick a leader of the most powerful country in the world, why is this a factor? Can you imagine picking a computer technician on that basis?
This year it's Sarah Palin (or if not a beer, at least the CILF). While not even her folksy charm is enough to rescue Republicans after the disaster of the last eight years, the need for a President who is likeable, as opposed to intelligent and capable, still dismays me.
A discussion of skepticism, logic, math, intelligent design creationism, board games, the Utah Jazz, marriage, having three children on the autism spectrum and two that not on the spectrum, being a DBA, teaching, the St. Louis metro area, my health since being diagnosed with ALS, and anything else that comes to mind.

Coming out the other side
Well, I heard I waslosing my job on April 4, and that led to a six-month depression. I'm back to work now, and hopefully coming out of it.
Meanwhile, my youngest is 90% potty-trained, Son2 has discovered dating, and CharityBrow took a job on the side. So, life goes on, no matter what.
One more thing: I want to add my voice to the chorus of derision that resulted from the selection of Palin over many more competent Republican women.
