![]() ![]() The Elvis TaxonIn paleontology, an Elvis taxon is an organism or group of organisms that has been misidentified as having re-emerged in the fossil record after a period of presumed extinction.

Coined in 1993, the term is a reference to the many sightings of Elvis Presley after his death, as well as to his many impersonators. What is one example of an Elvis taxon? More... Discuss |

That interview was pathetic. I saw a woman on television who said she was voting for Palin, that she thought she could invite her into her home for "snacks." Since when does that qualify one for next-in-line to the highest office in the land? Shudder.
So was the interview with Charles Gibson. The woman clearly can't answer even the simplest of questions.
The thought of her being next-in-line for the office of President....scares me.
The idea of her being in the VP seat is scarey indeed! The scariest part is that there are those that support her.
