"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."

I post this not because it is Palin, but because I find it very Pithy...

"We can survive the Error of Obama; it�s almost over, and we can survive this President. The question is, can we survive the people who voted for him a second time?"
