> [@Captain\_Carrot](#): > > And that poll was [ridiculous](http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/11/interview-with-john-ziegler-on-zogby.html). No it was right on but short a few. 1. 42 % of the American public do not know your middle name determines your politics forever. 2. 38 % do not know Rev. Wright lives in the white house and it determining the course of our country. 3. 92 % do not know that a guy who was a weatherman 40 years ago cannot change and everyone who was on any board with him are also weatherman. Their names should be listed on the front pages and identified as enemies of the state. 4. 48 % do not know that Limbaugh and Fox are just defending the world from a commie/democratic takeover. ---

Now Bachmann is introducing legislation to keep the dollar the currency of the United States. I guess our “foreign correspondent” has found a plot by our “nefarious enemies” to replace our currency. It figures the liberal media is ignoring Obama’s effort to eliminate the dollar. ---

> [@t-bonham@scc.net](#): > > No, I disagree. She didn’t get reelected “fairly easily” – she won by less than 3%, even though she was the incumbent and had more money to spend than her challenger. The spoiler was the independent candidate, who pulled 10% of the vote. I stand corrected. I thought it was more like 47-42. > [@Shodan](#): > > You failed the test too, eh?

Oh I know she is crazy, and my member would burn like 1,000 suns. But If I didn’t have to listen to them talk, and I’d never have to see tham again? Throw me in a tub of oil with Bachman, Malkin, and maybe even a side of Ingraham, even though I don’t usually like blondes. But then again, Like luci said. It’s spring. I’d just about fuck a stump around now. ---

I wouldn’t worry too much about it, **luci**. The second most notable property of that sentence (after its utter greatness) is the frequency with which it is ignored. I’m sure that the cumulative allure of sixty-something, balding, hairy-backed and doughy is providing you with all the trim you can handle. 😛 ---

Heh. The ocularist who made my wife’s first two or three prostheses told us that Sandy Duncan didn’t have a prosthetic eye. We had been told that he made it for her, and asked him about it. That was when he told us that it was an urban legend. He did make prostheses for Peter Falk, though. How did the conversation get here? ---
