Instead of deciding between Python or Lisp for a programming intro course...What about an intro course that uses *BOTH*? Good idea?

I was trying to differentiate models of computing.  Perhaps you don't know the concept.  I'll refer you to http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ModelsOfComputation.  One might think that they ALL originated from Western Civ, but not quite.
