Adrants reader Candace sent us Palin as President, a just-for-kicks interactive site “updated daily until November 4th!”

Palin sits behind the desk of the oval office, wearing a frozen doll-like grin. Click on the items around her and along the walls.

“Where’d Russia go?” she wonders when I brush by the window. For bonus points, take a shot every time you see or hear the word “Maverick.”

I found the BABY NAMES poster pretty funny. When I clicked on it, a dart shot up out of nowhere and landed roughly between “Cashew” and “Rake.” Still smirking, I trained my mouse somewhere on the desk, pushed the button on my touchpad and heard Palin croon, “Ohhh, here are the nucular codes!”

That’s when I lowered my head and surrendered myself to the pre-sob sinuses.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
