Call me crazy
Aug. 19th, 2011 09:43 amIsotropic updated this morning—there are now FOUR lobbies, rather than one, which is awesome. \o/ I hope it means that the player cap is raised, too, because 300 at a time is no longer enough. But it's still great.
On a different note, I think Jon Huntsman has moved to the top of my list of Least Scary Republicans Candidates for President. Rick Perry has moved to the top of the Most Scary Republican Candidates list, though he might be tied with Michele Bachmann. According to Ms. Bachmann, all we have to do to solve the economic crisis is hold firm on the debt ceiling, cut spending, and—somehow not collapse into an economic meltdown, somehow create more jobs so that the unemployment rate doesn't go up from all the social service jobs that would get eliminated by cutting spending, and somehow still manage to find money to spend on the military.
According to Rick Perry, global warming is a hoax, evolution is a giant conspiracy, and all scientists are loony.
But I was talking about Jon Huntsman, ambassador to China under Bush and Obama, and now Republican candidate for president. Apparently, he tweeted (and said, and had his spokesmen say):
To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.
It is a sad day when a candidate who TRUSTS in science is NOT at the top of the polls. And when he feels the need to defend himself by adding in "Call me crazy." If Jon Huntsman were at the top of the Republican polls, and if he were nominated, I would not be quite as afraid of the future of the US. And I confess, it wouldn't be all bad to have a president who actually knows something about China.
