There was a short bit of news today from the governor which inspired “lipstick-gate”

The state said Wednesday it wants the federal government to withdraw its decision to list the inlet’s population of the small whales as threatened. Gov. Sarah Palin has said she opposes the listing of the Cook Inlet belugas because of the effect it could have on development.

Yes by all means, protecting the wildlife must take a backseat to the economy, the long-term effects be damned we need money now, mindset at work here. The only upside I can think of regardless of the outcome of this case is that she did not become Vice-President of the U.S. There is hope yet for you americans.

I could write something funny about this, however I think the article says it all.

The 440 students enrolled in the master’s degree course will learn how to write flirtatious text messages and emails, impress people at parties and cope with rejection.

The full story about this course that is available to students at the Potsdam University is available here from reuters

A short comment from me would be if the cast from “Revenge of the Nerds” will be attending ?
