there was no “slipstream” on ST. that was from “andromeda,” the show developed by roddenberry’s wife. really, i’d bet even Palin knows they used a warp drive on ST.

I only saw some excerpts but the scraps I saw had her bashing China and centralized government and praising Japan, I can see her speechwriter laughing as he inserted these zingers into a speech that was to be delivered within a partially autonomous Hong Kong by some chick who was clearly clueless about the historical and political context of either. But somehow I don’t imagine representatives of the Party were amused.

Or maybe they were amused despite themselves:

“The wonder of the dancing bear is not how well it dances, but that it dances at all.”

A good depiction of our Sarah and a policy speech.

I’m picturing many, many readthroughs of that part of the script, not unlike distinguished guest actors on the different Star Trek series who were confronted with phrases like “reverse the polarity on the quantum slipstream”.

Sometimes, people can read other people’s words on subjects they don’t understand and not sound dumb.

This was clearly not one of those times.

“She talked about the recent protests of ethnic minority Muslim Uighurs,”

“Wait, wiggers?….. Like Levi?…… They have those in China?”

Yup. it’s borderline but lets hear it for the odds that “uighurs” was spelled phonetically for her benefit

According to the WSJ report, she was criticizing Obama’s foreign policy decisions. Didn’t somebody say it was wrong, in fact traitorous, for Americans to criticize the sitting president from a foreign location? Of course, that was the Dixie Chicks, who have a lot more gravitas.

Yes we are all “sort of” sharing bloodlines but I don’t believe we all descended from {”Black”) people in Africa….
Yeah, well…participate in this from National Geographic. It’s only a cheek swab. https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html
