Sarah Palin sent by god… and the master’s commission


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasilla_Assembly_of_God

I’m confused, which is why I’m posting. Perhaps someone will enlighten me. There’s a law about the separation of church and state in the US, right? How can someone run for office with the policy of the linking of church and state? What is the role of apocalyptic visions in running a country, and what is the role of ‘god’s will’ in decision making? I know that everyone in the US talks about faith and politics, since one informs the other, but what will happen when one leads it? Sounds like theocracy to me.

I’m scared.

iPod roots traced back to 1970s UK

Apple has admitted that a British man played a part in developing the iconic and extremely profitable iPod, although he has so far received no money for his invention.
In 1979 Kane Kramer from Hertfordshire filed a patent for a digital music player that stored just three and a half minutes of music to a solid state chip - limiting media options to just

one short song.
