[quote comment="57587"]Also, here is one:

Congress vs. A schizophrenic having an argument with himself.[/quote]

I am reminded of the following riddle: “If a schizophrenic threatens to shoot himself, is it a hostage situation?”
So then, if a congressman takes Capitol Hill hostage, is it a terrosrist threat?

Dude, Dora is not bullshit…. wrong show to say is crap, dude.
Yes, Teletubbies are re-dick, but Dora is highly educational…..
My son has learned alot from that show. One being ‘where do we go next?’ which helps kids learn the concept of before and after, what comes first and what comes last..?
anyhow, i’m done. sorry … i love Dora….

[quote comment="57582"]In Bush’s case, I highly doubt if he has a 125 IQ. That said, in general IQ is not necessarily a reflection of intelligence, especially if the person has a learning disability.[/quote]

Oops, that should have said “IQ is not necessarily a reflection of educational achievement.”

If only PBS childrens television characters like Big Bird & Oscar the grouch would get angry at Bush like they did Homer Simpson….lol

If there was an invisible elephant, Dick Cheney has already shot it.

Loved the Sesame Street, Friendly Giant and Mr.Roger’s references. Ah, roosters in plastic bags. And now we have aliens with televisions in their stomachs. How far we’ve come.

I’d take the the Friendly Giant or Mr. Dressup over Bush any day.
Great post! :)

I watched a tonight show rerun of Political Jeopardy the other night with Bush, Clinton and Obama. The Bush impersonator is awesome. Bush picks election for $100. Topic: Superdelegates. Bush answers; “What are delegates with a secrete identity who fight crime in an invisible car.” LOL!! You tube it if you haven’t seen it.

I think you may be on to something. He probably does talk to invisible elephants.

Wait…what do you mean that Big Bird and Snuff are based on the fantastical?
Listen buddy I have it on good advice from someone who had once known a man who thought he might have heard someone talk about a guy who’d maybe seen the existence of these two, that they’re quite real.

Hrmph.

For someone whose head is – by your own admission and so eloquently put, I have to say – “full of shit”, you write with the most amazing clarity. All you need to do is add one word to the end of each of these three entries.

“Discuss”
…and you have the perfect Sixth Form* student exam papers.
(*17-19 yr/old in UK – sorry, don’t know your equiv.)

Coincidentally, re your earlier post, there has been a highly reported murder here in the UK over the last few days. A stabbing of a teenager lad (allegedly, by a group of young black men) whose sister is a minor TV star (hence the TV coverage…celebs sell, y’konw…). His relatives are calling for National Service to be reintroduced: “If they want to fight, let them fight with REAL men” etc. etc. Of course, now this has upset a lot of professional service personnel…

And guess what? London’s new mayor (Bonkers Boris Johnson) is telling people “not to get involved if you see any trouble”…

Off topic but nonetheless a reason to be happy: Ingrid Betancourt has finally been freed along with 14 other hostages taken by the FARC guerilla in Colombia.
I wish her all the best.
