Jon Stewart on the Sarah Palin Interview

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart pointed out that Sarah Palin would bring the much needed overconfidence that is lacking in the current administration.

To answer Jon's question, no,  He's not the only one who believes blinking is actually healthy.  Blinking brings much needed moisture to one of our most delicate organs, which in turn can help ensure that our ability to see the world around us clearly is preserved.

But Palin is not talking about eye moistening.  She's using the term "blink" in the manner introduced to the world by Malcom Gladwell, and according to Fred Kaplan at Slate:

…the thesis of his best-selling book Blink was not that snap decisions are superior to decisions based on careful deliberation. It was that people who have a deep understanding of what they do—for instance, really good surgeons, military commanders, air-traffic controllers, and so forth—often make their best decisions quickly and instinctively.

But if you don't know what you're dealing with, snap decisions can be fatal.

Fatal? Yikes.  It's a good thing she got all that expertise from gazing at Russia.

  1. And here I thought she was talking about Blink-182.
