Well, I went to Harvard, so I shouldn’t talk. But I had the advantage of a strong religious education before going there, so I could choose my professors and avoid the obnoxious junk. I’m not sure if that’s even possible now. Where half the English Department or half the History department used to be ideologically questionable, now it’s closer to 95%. There are virtually no decent professors left standing.
But this article has Palin’s strengths down. She is smart, well educated, lots of common sense, a natural leader since high school or earlier, plenty of executive experience, and strong religious faith which makes her reliable under difficult conditions, when most politicians would bend with the wind.
You don’t have to be religious to support someone who is, if that’s what it takes to be absolutely reliable.
She is by far the best candidate out there. Indeed, she is about the only candidate I’ve seen in the past twenty years who has the qualities we need in this national emergency.

Well, Cornel West has left your alma mater.
There seems to be a bidding war among the Ivies for his services...
Here’s hoping that his replacement will be much better.
