‘I can see New Jersey from my house’

Can someone explain why the left is so ignorant as to think Palin statement was stupid in regards to being able to see Russia from Alaska?

It a relative point that as Governor she deals with a major and very different geopolitical reality that no other Governor has to deals with or even come close to when it's comes to foreign relation as compared to let say... Arkansas ... or did Bill the C have a hostile Texas with nukes on his border?

[Mr. Jazzy]

Howard Cosell spoke at my alma mater at graduation. He was great, apolitical.

I can see New Jersey from my house!

I can see Katie Couric's ego from here.

I thought commencement speeches were given to congratulate and motivate college graduates?

So now they have become soapboxes for the socialists to spout their political agendas.........We're so screwed!

Katie, I don’t think anyone called you a cougar, I think it was dog. Understandable mixup. If you look down, Katie, you can see your ratings.

Yeah when I read that part I thought, who the hell called Katie Couric a Cougar?

Ann, I don’t know how common it is around the country, but at the Ivies, class day occurs the day before graduation. The graduating seniors dress in their robes and wear ridiculous but often creative headwear and parade around campus and to the class day event. The class day speaker is either a comedian or someone who mistakes him or herself for one. Fortunately when my son graduated we had a real comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, as class day speaker. Graduation, of course, is much more solemn.
