(sort of like "Yogi-isms only not clever or funny, just stupid bullshit)
Right after the stock market crash of 1929, FDR went on television to address the American people. Of course I always wondered what the Secretary of the Navy would talk about on TV, especially since the only person who might have been able to watch it was Philo T. Farnsworth.
Awww, I thought the single page version was shortened. How can the product of the public school system be expected to maintain his attention span through the entire text?
"And don't forget that bars and pubs force beer through to there pumps using large compressed cylinders of CO2. Does anyone know?"
Where do you suppose bottled CO2 comes from? The same place to which it returns. The air. This looks like an April Fool's post (but you never know). It's really stupid but it's not that funny or clever.
The votes are in. The cutoff point for new knowledge has passed.
We have to have a cutoff point. Otherwise we might discover we were wr... wr... misinterpreted and taken out of context.
How could he have died in obscurity if we're discussing him today? I'm still trying to find out who, from the US, invented the automobile (according to Obama). Now, *THAT GUY* died in obscurity.
... I'd buy one of their dog-shit cars or invest in their dog-shit stock. They haven't made a decent car or sensible strategic business decision in 40 years. It's bad enough my tax $s are supporting this corpse, what happens when the Volt doesn't sell even WITH subsidies? The solution: more incentives to buy GM cars and disincentives to buy the car you REALLY want.
Extinctions are essential in nature and in business, and GM need to become extinct. They're already dead. Why can't everybody see that?
Authorities are generally stupid and dangerous.
Of course. We know that from all the sci-fi movies.
"perhaps we should outsource our entire government to buddhist monks"
Those crooks?!!
The Scotch Boutique comes to mind.

"What?!! This is nothing!! This happens all the time! Stop worrying!!"
(Paraphrase of Dustin Hoffman character whenever something goes wrong in "Wag the Dog".)
It will be years before we know what is in this abomination of a bill. 5, 10, 15 years from now you'll be reading about the unmitigated stupidity of it.
But I look at it the same way the politicians do - hopefully, I'll be dead by the time the bill comes due.
I thought the science of global warming was settled. Why are we still studying and discussing it? I guess someone thought there was just a bit more room for additional info.
Can we now declare this the cutoff point for new knowledge?
"Boy, talk about cherry picking a slanted conclusion..."
Really. Please. We can stop that practice now that George "Fuckin'" Bush is almost gone.
Yeah a lot of people really have no concept of the context in which they are doing something on a computer. I was helping a female co-worker in another department recently and I asked her something like "Were you trying to do that through Outlook or Internet Explorer?". She slowly turns to me with a blank, wide-eyed expression, raises her hands and says "All I know is, I come to work, I log in and I do my job."
And that's ALL she knows.
That does not resemble, nor is it likely to be confused with a Christmas Tree.
"Teachers sacrifice" "Teachers give of themselves" "Teachers cultivate minds" "Teachers are heroes" Just some of the myths about teachers that the media bombard us with.
Call it a profession or vocation if you want. Teaching is an occupation. A way to pull down a paycheck. A job. And many do their job very badly. Just as there are bad programmers, bad mechanics, bad doctors and bad ditch-diggers. Where did we get the impression that teachers are somehow immune to ignorance, bias or incompetence? In fact, you could make argument that incompetence in other professions is *_because_* of bad teachers.
