Unbelievable that people even consider her qualified or ready to lead our country. And you wonder why so many people are making plans to head to Canada should the election go the wrong way.

I thought the piece was fantastic and despite Taibbi's absolutely vitriolic journalism, I appreciated his earnestness and quite frankly, I don't understand why more people aren't stomping around America in utter outrage. Oh, and good luck on the GRE. I'm dreading taking the second one when I eventually get around to applying to PhD programs. The one I took for my Master's almost killed me!
