Texsox Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Something for my GOPerhead friends, I'll come back and explain it if y'all don't get it After the president has been in office for 6 months it is customary for the last president to send a note of congratulations to the new one. So yesterday when the note came from Bush to Obama, the president was somewhat troubled because it was written in code and all it said was: 370H-SSV-0773H This troubled him as he had always heard from his peers how former president Bush was perceived to have been scholarly challenged. So he took the note to his wife. She was unable to decipher it. They called in the VP, and he was unable to decode the message. They called in the chief of staff and the head of the Secret Service detail and they were unable to determine the meaning of the note. Next he called in the head of the Senate and Speaker of the House. They both were mystified by the meaning of the coded message. Now there was complete panic in the oval office. The y called all of their contacts in the media and sent copies of the note to all of them, and not one was able to come up with an answer. A special emergency meeting was called by the staff. All branches of the military, counter intelligence, CIA, FBI were called in, and the best minds were unable crack the code. After a sleepless night, a now humbled President picked up the phone and called the former president, and asked him the meaning of the note. Bush chuckled and replied: “Dude....You're holding it upside down!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Carter is electing to go out there in the world and try to do some good, while Buchanan sits on his ass and gets paid to spout crap. Carter spouts crap for free. I would tend to agree though, that just looking at what they both say, they are of a similar ilk - people who I wish I didn't have to keep listening to.

StrangeSox Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Carter needs to just shut his mouth and build some homes. I don't think Buchanan is comparable because, as NSS said, Pat hasn't actually brought good to the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, on the one hand: Following a whistleblower report that criticized a global warming rule, They don't seem to know what a whistleblower is. Dissenting opinion is not blowing the whistle - nothing illegal was being uncovered. But on the other hand, to me the real story is getting ride of that NCEE office, and there I'd have an issue. The EPA should indeed make sure it makes real estimates (as real as projections can be, anyway) of anticipated costs of regulations. Seems stupid to remove that.

You can't understand getting rid of something that's in their way to implementing "global warming" or "cap and trade (aka tax and kill)" policies?

lostfan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Going back to the numbers of the 9/12 protesters I did a little reading and figured out the sequence of events. Some conservative blogger, I forget who, said there were between 1 and 1.5 million and attributed it to ABC News. He basically completely made that number up, didn't link to it or anything. Malkin repeats this on her blog but she "rounded up" and said there were 2 million protesters, and from here it got linked to/repeated everywhere, and of course Beck jumped on the bandwagon too. ABC, having not said anything remotely close to this, has to come out with an article essentially saying "we have no idea where the 2 million number came from but it wasn't us, we cited the Capitol Police/Fire Dept. number that said 60-70k." Malkin eventually corrected herself Interestingly the guy who started the whole thing corrected himself too but blamed the "media" for the inaccuracy. The photo with the big crowd is apparently one from years ago that someone arbitrarily started passing around and saying it was a picture of 9/12. This is what the crowd looked like on Inauguration Day by the way. And this isn't showing the crowds in the streets that didn't get into the Mall. Edit: I'm not a hypocrite btw, the number isn't that important if we're talking about the difference between 70k and 100k, it is in fact a large crowd, but we're talking about multiplying the number by 28.5 times the actual number. Funniest analogy I saw was from Nate Silver who said exaggerating by a factor that large is like claiming to have a 53 inch penis.
