Reading Sarah Palin Live, with Rudolph Delson: Part Two | The Awl

Loving this running diary of reading a book, normally a very solitary activity. Great.

And this:

She also likes to remind her readers that all that Down syndrome amounts to is an extra chromosome; I agree with her; that is a good fact to remember. Still, it is baffling that someone who is so impressed with the “special,” “precious,” and “amazing” difference that a single chromosome can make does not believe in evolution.

There’s just too much good for you not to read it yourself so that you never have to read the book.
