anne coulter is crazy

I was picking up a few groceries in the supermarket yesterday and I paused to look at a few magazines. I was flipping through the pages and came across the dreaded woman's name - ick. Anne Coulter. The mere sight of her name and my blood pressure rises, but of course, I must read on. And she never disappoints. In this diabolical blurb, she states that it is the workings of an evil liberal empire who suggest that the world is round - she maintains that it is still a theory (like evolution, she adds for good measure). And what's holding us up?? Gravity. "Nowhere in the bible does it say that the world is round ... God made the world, if it was round, don't you think he would've told us?" Um, so she compares the liberals who support this with Mao, Stalin and other communists (you can hear the venom in her voice when she says that word). I, um, I was speechless in the supermarket, and nearly leaned on the closest person beside me to say, "read this!? she's insane!" I really don't know what to say. But I'm pretty sure the world is round.

They taught me in school that the earth is a tri-axial oblate spheroid, but round is close enough.

This past week, Anne Coulter was prevented from speaking at University of Ottawa by student protests (http://artthreat.net/2010/03/anne-coulter-performance-art-for-conservatives-yuck/) but she went on to speak at some other Canadian campuses.
Looking forward to Apr. 3rd, Amy.
