ha ha: Have a laff about some loose nukes

Speakin' as someone who was actually around back in 1961, I'm feeling "a little" more grateful (now) that a (large) number of us got to see 1962, and beyond:

P.S. May not want to read even more here (off-site link, new window) , prior to trying to sleep well....EVER!

Isn't there already enough ugliness in the world...?

...Why go out of the way to manufacture more? (It's a rhetorical question (at this point), dudes.)

(First off, let's have Katie Couric ask Sarah the questions, thank you.....)

I have five more basic questions for someone who might (somehow) possibly be voting to enact (or obstruct) legislation affecting our country's present, future.....:

(We'll start with a couple of "warm-up" questions:)

1. Spel this (pictured) animal:

2: Cipher these:  2 + 2 = ? 
 (Hint: Sum is the same number of fingers ya see on one of your hands. Minus 'Mr. Thumb' of course...)


3. Name the pictured varmint animal. (Not sure Sarah has ever really seen one up-close. Maybe from safely high-above in the air though.... )

4. Define the following word, in the context of legislative deliberations and actions:  "Compromise"

5. Define the following word, in the context of legislative deliberations and actions: "Ethical"

Bonus question: Explain/defend this previous, attributed statement of yours: ""What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?" --Sarah Palin, inquiring with Wasilla librarian Mary Ellen Emmons about banning books right after taking office in 1996."

Bonus question: Is building a gas line "up to" God? (""I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that." --Sarah Palin, on the $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state, speaking to students the Wasilla Assembly of God, June 2008 (Watch video clip))"
