Political meme -- a rare politcal post from Severity.

[severity_softly]

From celandineb and stasia:

As was demonstrated in an interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade.

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun.

Plessy v. Ferguson - 1896, the Supreme Court upholds racial segregation under the doctrine of "separate but equal". [stole the wording from wiki; they said it more succinctly than I could have]

Dude, I am not a history buff, but Palin is a tool. Even I might be more qualified to run for VP, which is a sad and scary thought.

My sister and I just said the same damn thing @ us being more qualified.

Palin scares me, dude.

I was leaning Obama anyway, but that just sealed it. :/

As was I. I don't actively dislike McCain (and, separate from his political views, think the man deserves respect) but I don't agree with more than half of his views, and I SURE AS SHIT don't agree with his running mate choice, oi. I... actually, I'll stop there before I start ranting again. >.>

Randomly, the icon you posted with? is it SUPPOSED to make me think of the Yggdrasil? Because it does, and that's pretty awesome. ::g::

I dislike McCain, but I can easily dislike politicians, especially when I disagree with them. I don't hate him though (but I honestly don't really honestly hate many people).

I have to be honest and admit that I just had to google Yggdrasil, but that is very cool, and I can certainly see it in that icon now that you've mentioned it! :D

That woman scares me. I am glad I live far, far away.

If McCain gets elected, I'll wish I did.

Jesus. I'm more qualified for VP judging by that.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I want to live where you do. :(

Sometimes I think the world would be a better place if "average normal people" ran our countries!

you know.....people with an ounce of common sense, morals and values!!!!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'm not convinced your "average" American is all that smart either. But I do hear what you're saying. We need someone who knows what the daily experience is for most of us. Heh.

I've read about it in the newspapers, and heard about the debate in the news today. Politics, blah, they're not making much of it in my country either (except make us look ridiculous to the whole world :-( )
