Acronym City

I've just spent two hours in the company of my comrades, moving module codes and titles around to produce an intellectually justifiable degree while satisfying the whims of management (there is a contradiction, unfortunately). 

I return to my office to find a similar example of cognitive dissonance in the American political system. 

Sarah Palin has recently and repeatedly described state healthcare as 'evil'. She's suggested that even the minimal healthcare available to the aged be cut so that taxes can reduced. But what's this? Sarah says that she used to drive 15 hours through Alaska to take advantage of the CANADIAN (state) health system. 

So not only does she think that Canada's system is better, she's prepared to steal another country's resources, while demanding stricter border controls to stop South Americans and Mexicans from entering the USA. She even defended two border control agents who illegally killed a migrant (their sentences were commuted by Dubya, presumably on the basis that Hispanic non-voters' lives aren't as valuable as others'). 

Clearly, it's time for Canadians to seal the borders. Not only to keep the ghastly Palin out, but so that Americans will be forced to improve their own healthcare rather than sneak over the border to leech off their Friendly Neighbours In The North. 

Benton Fraser, do your duty!

Constable Fraser says 'on your snowmobile, Palin'.
