Sarah Palin "knows more about energy then probably anyone in America" John McCain.

[Ichingcarpenter]

Sarah Palin shows the fishy she drew.

In 1982, she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College, but left after her first semester. She transferred to North Idaho community college, where she spent two semesters as a general studies major.

From there, she transferred to the University of Idaho for two semesters. During this time Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant, then finished third in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant, at which she won a college scholarship and the "Miss Congeniality" award.

Afterwards, Palin attended the Matanuska-Susitna community college in Alaska for one term. The next year she returned to the University of Idaho where she spent three semesters completing her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987.

In 1988, she worked as a sports reporter for KTUU-TV and KTVA-TV in Anchorage, Alaska,and for the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman as a sports reporter. She also helped in her husband’s commercial fishing family business.






Dr. Chu explains laser cooling

After graduating from Rochester with his bachelor’s degree in 1970, Dr. Chu applied to many well known schools. He chose to attend University of California, Berkeley where he worked with Eugene Commins. Chu would stay at Berkeley after graduating, first as a post-doc and then as an assistant professor in 1978. He left shortly afterward to pursue a career at Bell Laboratories.

While at Bell Labs, Dr. Chu began his work with laser cooling, which would win him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997. He shared this award with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William Daniel Phillips. Dr. Chu also had two colleagues whom he recognizes as assisting him with his laser cooling work at Bell Labs, Leo Holberg and Alex Cable.

Dr. Chu left Bell Labs in 1987 to be a professor at Stanford. During his time here, he has served as Physics Chair twice (1990-1993 and 1999-2001). Once at Stanford, he expanded his research interests to include polymer physics and biophysics.

Dr. Chu has received numerous awards and honors during his career. These include an NSF Pre-Doctoral Fellowship (1970-1974), being named co-winner of the King Faisal International Prize for Science (1993), being elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1993), Humboldt Senior Scientist Award (1995), Guggenheim Fellowship (1996), and being elected as a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (1998).



Yet another ivory tower elite that can't relate to Joe Sixpack! Our worst nightmares realized! If only we had Palin to save us.

5. What do you do to win Miss

Congeniality give all the Judges a BJ? Is that a photo-shopped picture? Man she has a big head.

[undeterred]

7. Yes, but can he hold in a baby all the way from Texas to Alaska?

That takes a lot of energy.

8. T. Boone Pickens had a very similar quote

Another energy "expert."

9. Typical liberal elitist

For gods sake, the guy went to Berkeley. Sure its pretty much tied for first with several other universities for the billing of 'most academically demanding institute on earth', but its Berkeley. Real Americans study engineering at Messiah college.

On another note, good for Obama. pragamatism and competence have been sorely missed here in America.

Also Sarah Palin, despite knowing more about energy than 'everyone', has no idea how much energy Alaska produces. Despite being head of an oil exploration group and despite being governor, and despite that being her claim to fame.

I am sincerely fucking frigtened that someone that fucking stupid could've been a heartbeat away from the presidency at a time of multiple interlocking (energy, foreign policy, healthcare, economic) national crisises. Democracy is only as good as its voters. And we can do way better.

11. The media never really called McCain on that statement either

that's what so sad about all this, because ignorant Americans
bought that bullshit.

I look forward to our future now.
