War for Ukraine Day 754: A Brief Monday Night Update

News and commentary on why America needs Barack Obama at this moment in our history.
I love the new article by Sam Harris in Newsweek. Here are some choice quotes on Sarah Palin:
Here, finally, was a performer who—being maternal, wounded, righteous and sexy—could stride past the frontal cortex of every American and plant a three-inch heel directly on that limbic circuit that ceaselessly intones "God and country." If anyone could make Christian theocracy smell like apple pie, Sarah Palin could.
Refusing to hesitate isn't a primordial truth of wise governance.
What is so unnerving about the candidacy of Sarah Palin is the degree to which she represents—and her supporters celebrate—the joyful marriage of confidence and ignorance. Watching her deny to Gibson that she had ever harbored the slightest doubt about her readiness to take command of the world's only superpower, one got the feeling that Palin would gladly assume any responsibility on earth.
