Watch this video. Just watch it. Kindgartners think Africa is a country. Now that Palin has lost maybe she’ll return to the sandbox, build some sand castles, play some kickball, and drink some kool-aid.
Part of this is that Republicans will be looking for someone to blame. Obviously, it couldn’t be their fault. And blaming McCain wouldn’t stick because of how clearly uncomfortable with the bigotry that the campaign was deliberately trying to evoke. So it must be Palin.
I dearly hope that McCain writes a book about the campaign. Doing so would expose and kill Rovian campaign tactics for a good long time, perhaps forever.
If Ted Stevens gets removed by the Senate Ethics committee, She can, and probably would, select herself (!) to take his place in the Senate, with an election to then follow in 2010 , I think.
Then she’ll be all experienced up for 2012. You betcha!
Do you rely on observable facts rather than your gut? Are you interested in science, human rights, skepticism, atheism, or humanism?

So what is Factonista?
Factoista is an online freethought advocacy organization that relies on its users for content. Through international broad-based collaboration with its users, and other groups and organizations, it strives to provide timely and comprehensive news, views, reviews, and creative multimedia on issues at the forefront of everything under the umbrella of freethought:
1. Defending civil liberties like freedoms of speech, inquiry, information, religion or lack thereof, and association
2. Opposing misinformation, pseudoscience, and quackery
3. Commenting on the intersection of religion with politics, science, human rights, and academia
4. Discussing media misinformation and reform, environmental defense, and human rights.
5., Defending and supporting the continued growth of the Internet as a central enabler of idea and information sharing, social organization, advocacy and political participation. Relevant issues include net neutrality, the social impact of the Net and various programs (e.g., the blogosphere, social networking and news aggregator applications, search engines), and means of enhancing netroots advocacy.
5. Contribute significantly to the expansion, coordination and social/political import and impact of humanism and freethought.
Factonista is about putting people before ideas, reason before superstition, and evidence before faith. It’s about being team players (i.e., putting reason, honesty, civility first), as we can achieve far more in collaboration than in isolation. And it’s about making the most of our creativity, diverse skills and backgrounds to contribute to a collective intelligence that will have influence far and wide.
