he was one of those big boys
who went to high school
and came back as well rounded mystical men
The Seattle Times reports: that though vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin claimed in her ABC television interview with Gibson that she had never met with the leader of another nation.
She has in fact met with at least one, the President of Iceland, Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, the week of Oct 15th-18th, when they met privately for about an hour during the Arctic Energy Symposium.
Óli is actually back in Alaska this week for another Arctic Issues forum.
Now, I know he's an ex-Professor, of Political Science at that, so she might have drifted off into "bored undergrad mode", but he really is rather memorable, and it was less than a year ago, shortly after she became Governor.
Sheesh.
I'm more concerned about the state of her head than about whether she's met a head of state!
Give her break, she probably thought she met some guy from a colony of Denmark. She would not be the first to make that mistake....
(Did you see the video of her meeting the new president of Pakistan? It was awesome. The man is amazingly creepy.)
You realise that means war!
There are limits to the insult a free and sovereign nation will take.
Just ask the soon-to-be-OUR-allies the Spanish
After the great fish war with Canada, Spain is certainly ready for trans-Atlantic warfare. Iceland will be "unsinkable carrier." The US still has a slightly bigger navy, though.
I think the best thing to do is just wait a few years, then Iceland can buy most of the US and do whatever they want with it.
you unveil our plan!
fortunately no one reads this...
'course if we just wait a few hundred million years we will naturally overrun North America
I see a new motto:
Iceland: geology is on our side!
