The number one enemy of progress

[olyclimber]

is question. This just sends mixed signals to our troops and the enemy. That is irresponsible. Stay in your homes. Your neighborhood watchofficer will be by to collect urine examples in the morning.

[cj001f]

Is that sunburn or has he started drinking again?

[catbirdseat]

He has aged a lot since he took office.

[TREETOAD]

I think that picture was taken at his reading class on 9/11. The teacher asked "Now who wants to read in front of the class" The rest is history.

And so I've made some proposals to the Congress, proposals that work with how fast benefits will go up, proposals that said if you're in the -- a poor American, nothing is going to change for you. If you're a wealthy American, your benefits will grow, but at a slower rate.

makes sence that whom ever was actually on this watch would have to do this fricking dumb bastard can't think for himself let alone pee without an example

seen on bumper sticker recently:

 

The opposite of progress is congress

[archenemy]

They shortened the original: If the opposite of pro is con, then isn't the opposite of progress congress?

 

Just as cute: If electricity is made by electrons, does that mean morality is made by morons?

A popular bar had a new robotic bartender installed. A fellow came in for a drink and the robot asked him, 'What's your IQ?' The man replied, '150.' So the robot proceeded to make conversation about Quantum physics, string theory, atomic chemistry, and so on.

 

The man listened intently and thought, 'This is really cool.' The man decided to test the robot. He walked out the bar, turned around, and came back in for another drink. Again, the robot asked him, 'What's your IQ?' The man responded, '100.' So the robot started talking about football, baseball, and so on.

 

 

The man thought to himself, 'Wow, this is amazing.' The man went out and came back in a third time. As before, the robot asked him, 'What's your IQ?'

The man replied, '50.' The robot said, 'So, you gonna vote for Bush again?'

[sexual_chocolate]

Bill Gates voted for Bush.

As did Marie Von Savant or whatever her name is, the one with an IQ of 223 or somesuch nonsense.

 

As in: IQ don't mean much, especially when hashing out one's political and moral beliefs (you can be an idiot and still sport a MENSA membership).

[beer_factor]

Yes, IQ is a limited means of quantifying a person's overall intelligence. And it is also true that there is little correlation between IQ and political beliefs, but indulge me here, OK? I happen to sport an IQ of 46 and I love that joke. I'm going to go watch the Muppets now. Jeez.

[AlpineK]

Well BG has a lot of money, so it's no wonder he votes republican.

[knotzen]

Bill Gates voted for Bush.

How do you know Gates voted for Bush? Did he say that in an interview or something?

[sexual_chocolate]

And another thing: How are mini-vans a tangible evidence of evil? They seem to do ok in mpg ratings, are safe and roomy, and generally support car-pooling. What gives?

[mattp]

Yeah. I'd have a hard time picturing BG pulling the lever for Bush. Look at his father's politics and his wife's charities. It just doesn't compute.

[sexual_chocolate]

It was an article about the ultra-rich and their politics.

Can't remember the article, but I'm sure if you googled any well-known name along with "voting record" or "political affiliation", you'd get the answer.

[AlpineK]

Yeah. I'd have a hard time picturing BG pulling the lever for Bush. Look at his father's politics and his wife's charities. It just doesn't compute.

 

BG has a lot of money, so it's no wonder he votes republican.

[TREETOAD]

I bet Mr. Gates has no relatives getting their legs blown to splinters in IraQ

[sexual_chocolate]

I think it's generally well-known he's Rep.

 

As far as his wife and the charity work, believe it or not, Republicans actually engage in charitable work. They don't all eat babies for breakfast. I think what their answer might be is that they would prefer to be in control of their money and its uses instead of the government. Pretty standard Republican position.

[TREETOAD]

I think gates gives a lot of money away doesn't he. Maybe he could build a library in Mozul or a daycare for orphans somewhere in Afghanistan.

[sexual_chocolate]

He's put 23 billion into vaccination and education programs around the world.

[archenemy]

Yes, you need healthy, educated people in other countries in order to outsource previously well-paying American jobs to cheap workers overseas.

[TREETOAD]

I will say he has done a great deal of good with his wealth and I heard him say once that as he ages he would give more and more. Not a bad thing to do with money.

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.

 

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were

killed."

 

"OH NO!" the president exclaims. "That's terrible!"

 

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as

the president sits, head in hands.

 

Finally, president looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
