The Lion and Gun

By way of Crooks and Liars, meet young Stas Gunkel -- a seven-year-old gifted student and violinist with his own infrequently updated political blog. In the last days of his campaign President-elect Obama sent Gunkel a letter; what's more interesting to me is the young boy's commentary, such as it is. And, for a seven-year-old, it's not bad. More astute than much that I've seen on cable news. And he seems to have a firmer grasp of logic and reality (and undoubtedly a greater interest in the world) than a certain former Republican Vice-Presidential candidate:

McCain and Palin are not be qualified to be President / Vice President of the U.S. The President's job is to do good for the country and the world. To do good for the country, the President must make smart decisions on important situations.

Governor Palin believes the world is 6000 years old. This is absurd. This is not a rational belief. This is a mistake. Scientists, experiments and evidence have shown this to be completely false. Therefore, she is not rational. If she is not rational, she should not be allowed to be President or Vice President.
