The Higher Education of Sarah Palin, Part 1

While the beans are on the boil and Gustav is coming to dinner, or lunch, or tea...I thought I'd reflect on Sarah Palin's love of higher education.

Sarah loves college so much that she didn't just go to one undergrad college (or...uhhh, two like some of us transfers!) she went to six! Pretty impressive, huh?

Let's take a look at some of these places.

1. The University of Hawaii at Hilo. The web address is actually "www.uhh.hawaii.edu" I kid you not. And it seems "uhhh" is exactly what the registrar there is saying as they have no record of Palin! What was she doing, hanging out at the beach? Czech out Hilo on wikipedia. According to Palin's bio (can you believe there is one? Hardcover is out of print, paperback going cheap) she and her girl chum left after a few *weeks* because it was too rainy. Excuse me?

2. Hawaii Pacific University. It looks like Palin and Obama share something in common: Hawaii. Except that no one seems to have really know her there and I used to work with a guy who once met Obama in line somewhere in Hawaii. So there ya go: real proof that Obama has been spotted in the state of Hawaii.

3. North Idaho College. Their motto is "Changing Lives Every Day." Except for Sarah Palin. Not that I blame her, I mean, Hawaii to Idaho? When I think of Idaho I think of that scene in Napoleon Dynamite where he's walking down that looooooong stretch of road in the middle of nowhere. A friend of mine also moved there to be with her boyfriend (ha!) and I think I read about kids sniffing OxyCotin (sp?) in Coeur D'Alene, where this college is.

Anyone else starting to get tired? I need to go chop some vegetables, be back in awhile....
