Without Alaska, Sarah Palin would not have developed any foriegn affairs experience.  You can't see Russia from anywhere else in the US of A you know.

Well, anyone who has tried to use their software is gonna be anti-Inuit.

I've been dealing with a Lithuanian girl recently who was educated in the Soviet Union.  She was shocked to discover that Alaska wasn't leased for 99 years like Hong Kong.  Of course, she just chalked it up to yet another Russian lie.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I've never heard that one myself, but apparently a lot of Soviet immigrants in my junior high school social studies class did think that.
