What You Should Do Tonight…

…is go see Madeleine Albright’s talk at Town Hall. Mr. Sanders writes in Suggests:

The former Secretary of State, who recently told the New York Times that she can “leg-press up to 400 pounds,” speaks with Washington Post columnist Michael Kinsley about politics and religion. Albright has a new book out, The Mighty and the Almighty, which looks at the problem of religious fervor in a world system more used to dealing with “rational actors.” Asked by the Times whether it might be rational to be spiritual, Albright responded: “No.” (Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Ave, 682-7395. 7:30 pm, $10/$50 [patron ticket includes reception, book, and good seats].)

And bring a gift, would ya? A handmade Czech toy? She is Czech, and her birthday is in six days.

Well, that beats my 330lbs.

I'd love to, but it's been sold out for awhile - anybody want to get rid of a couple of tickets?

No, what's RATIONAL is killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians through sanctions in order to force their grieving relatives to overthrow their government. Fucking brilliant. A real high point in the history of enlightenment thought.
