Sarah Palin: the Greek connection

craziness.
just in time for my recent plunge (back) into the Greek language and amidst the recent swirl of the politcal debates comes a clever, quirky article from the National Review that ties Greek and the Repubican party together.

Or Greek and the Palin Party together.

Greek and Palin.

Apparently, the Greek word for re-birth in New Testament Greek is "Palingensia."

The article goes on to joke: Is this perhaps a prophecy in Bible code? Could it be a favorable omen for the Republican party? (These days it is probably wise to explicitly state that I’m kidding . . .)”

well, there u go. a laugh-out-loud connection.
I laughed, at least.
