    The article states. “Pity the person who confuses her [Randall] for a lightweight; Randall’s idea of pleasure reading is ‘Freakonomics.’”

    Please don’t tell me you consider your books to be “heavy” reading. They are educational, thought-provoking, well-researched and well-written. Perhaps after graduating from Alaska Pacific University and getting another degree or two we might give her more gravitas.

    Well, seeing as how the other famous Alaskan apparently reads the sum total of English-language print journalism, she hardly has time for anything electronic beyond Facebook.

    Is itt Roe v. Wade that brought the crime wave down or as I would prefer to think, Griswold v Conn. that made birth control easily available so that unwanted children were not conceived in the first place?
