With Karzai, Palin made a quick connection as a parent.
While being photographed, they could be overheard discussing the Afghan leader's son, who was born in January 2007.
"What's his name?" Palin asked.
"Mirwais," Karzai said. "Mirwais, which means the light of the house."

On flea markets and recession
And about decision-making. At an urgent government meeting on September 18, Dmitry Medvedev spoke the key words: the authorities today have no task more important than supporting financial stability. And he announced the decision to allot half a trillion rubles for supporting the market, along with the decision to decrease the reserves and lower taxes on oil exports...
..Because a political decision can open Pandora’s Box, or it can open a big Matryoshka doll, and then we’ll have to keep taking other, smaller dolls out of it. And you can’t stop until you’ve taken out the last one.

Bush is a ***** in disguise
...Palin Went to See Ivana Trump at Costco, Saying Alaska was So Desperate for "Any Semblance of Glamour and Culture". "Sarah Palin, a commercial fisherman from Wasilla, told her husband on Tuesday she was driving to Anchorage to shop at Costco. Instead, she headed straight for Ivana. And there, at J.C. Penney's cosmetic department, was Ivana, the former Mrs. Donald Trump, sitting at a table next to a photograph of herself. She wore a light-colored pantsuit and pink fingernail polish. Her blonde hair was coiffed in a bouffant French twist. 'We want to see Ivana,' said Palin, who admittedly smells like salmon for a large part of the summer, 'because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.'"
