Going to Moscow and The Cold War

If I take a trip to Moscow anytime soon, I sincerely hope that my airline doesn't choose to take the long way around and fly through Alaskan airspace.

There's not an international flight in America that would spurn the Atlantic route for the itinerary Sarah Palin suggested to Katie Couric. But I guess that's ok - geography isn't her strong suit.

Also, really, someone needs to remind McCain's running mate - and McCain, too, for that matter - that the Cold War ended 20 years ago or so. Honestly. I was alive when it happened.
