I'm 250 miles from Canada.  Clearly I've got her beat.  Why didn't McCain (not) vet me?

We did vet you, Drew, and you were headed to be our surprise pick particularly on the strength of your ties to both Georgia and Canada.  Most of the committee thought you were too old however, as we were looking for a toddler.  Can you imagine the images, reversing generations of tradition, a toddler kissing the voters instead!

In the end, it was goddog who ruled you out.  When the tree came crashing down on your car as you were about to travel to the forbidden city of NOLA, we knew that you didn't have the support of the higher being.

Plus we didn't want anyone who could actually read polls.  ;-)

Seriously, the joke nature of this campaign evinces the weakness of the amurkan body politic.  That Palin could even be considered is a slap in the face of both intelligence and civilization.  That on the left side, the blind fawning over Obama is just as blind (though not as dangerous.) It is embarrassing as hell.

Aside:  i supported you.

Most people live in a mythical reality, not a scientific one, where the people they see on TV are more real to them than their neighbours are.

I'm not even sure how many scientists live consistently in a scientific reality.

Nothing is going to get better until people figure out that making political decisions for mythical reasons is really, really stupid.
