This is an interesting example of pop culture subconsciously seeping into common parlance (or written word, as the case may be).
MBN meant to say "prism," but he used the spelling, "prizm," made popular by the Geo sedan of the early 90s. While not picking on MBN for his error, I still feel that it is my CVCC duty to point it out.

Palin's husband is a commercial fisherman and works on the North Slope. I thnk this clinches Landpoke's vote.

Dems are a bunch of pompous, effete elitists. Makes my blood boil.

I am shaking my head at this one. After reading through her bio she seems like an impressive person, but one with frighteningly limited experience. I expected a pick with a little more gravitas. Are you comfortable with her a heartbeat away from the presidency? Keep in mind that McCain has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
