The VP Debate

So, I watched the debate. I don't really have time to discuss it right now... hopefully I'll come back to this on Sunday.

What I wanted to share was a NYTimes OpEd by Steven Pinker... I recognized the name as I scanned Google news. He is a Harvard professor in psychology who studies language and cognition. I knew of Pinker because he once made a remark that music is "evolutionary cheesecake," and that comment has been picked up by mainstream media and other academics...

Anyway, he wrote an editorial on the debate, and he talks about Sarah Palin's use of language and her accent much more eloquently than I ever could, and I thought y'all might be interested.
