Reply To: Political Statements
I remember Oprah Winfrey a couple of years ago showing off her apparently newfound knowledge that Africa was not just one country, after she read it in one of the books featured in her book club. It was almost as amusing as that time when she asked ‘how many lemons?’ when somebody said that urine should be the colour of lemon juice. And then the person answered ‘one lemon’. I can’t decide which is stupider out of the question and the response. Anyway… my point is… well, maybe I don’t have one. But maybe Sarah Palin should watch Oprah, she might learn some things. I didn’t know that Europe and Asia were the same land mass until about five years ago so I’m not going to criticise anyone’s geography (and whether Africa, Europe and Asia are continents depends on where you were taught, anyway. I didn’t know that either until about five years ago, but if I’d been taught geography at all, I would have preferred to have been taught one of the models with at most six continents.) I’m having trouble concentrating today.
Anyway, carry on with the serious political discussions.
