Some time ago, a libhole here in the office was mocking Palin for saying she could see Russia from her house. I explained to said libhole that Palin didn’t say that, that it was Tina Fay that said that as part of a Sat Night Live parody (that CNN did not fact-check). I said that what Palin said was that you could see Russia from Alaska. The libhole scoffed, claiming that statement was equally ridiculous. When I explained that a US island is only 3 miles from a Russian island in the Bering Strait, any you can in fact see Russia from Alaska, she got the deer-in-the-headlights look and insisted I was making it up. I won 20 bucks.
Hey, we can't all be geniuses like Mika B, who in attempting to scoff at Gov. Palin, let loose that she thinks Lincoln was a Founding Father.
