Monitors too big

We're doing a monitor shuffle at home, to move the oldest of our monitors off to replace a very-much-outdated one at church. I figured, I'm starting to do video editing, the app I have is clearly intended to use on a widescreen monitor, and almost all of the video I watch these days is widescreen. So I looked for a widescreen monitor.( yammer )

Wow, worse than I thought

Palin apparently didn't know that Africa was a continent, and staffers pretty much predicted Katie Couric's interview questions and thought they were NOT out of bounds, but Palin refused to listen to their suggestions to prepare for the interview at all.

(Possibly willful) ignorance and willfully ignoring and even snubbing the people who are supposed to be helping you make better decisions; sounds familiar, doesn't it? Though she seems to have taken it to a new level.

It's pretty scary that someone like that even got anywhere NEAR being VP.
