blue, here's a riddle: How do you know when an obscene caller is Canadian?

He says, "I'm sorry, am I calling at a bad time?"



I was actually going to preface the first post with something like, "Oh, sure, now that the election is OVER...." sort of thing.

My two (previous) employers have an NGO that takes them various places, including the Yukon, and in a place very close to the Alaska boundary.

These are two serious academics, not given at all to gossip or making things up. They took me out for dinner on Monday, and the husband was speaking about information he had gathered on Palin's faith. (At this telling, it is third-hand, I realize that). She is a person that believes in the rapture, which is all fine and good; in this case, she will be personally welcoming the raptured into Alaska. Apparently she believes this.

But whatever...there are many different beliefs throughout the world, let alone the USA and Canada.
