Guest #51 March 19, 2003 "The Vatican scolded Bush for assuming a 'grave responsibility before God' in deciding that diplomacy had been exhausted, and the top UN refugee official Ruud Lubbers warned of the humanitarian consequences of war." This, from a guy who is stonewalling investigations of the acts of pedophilia committed by members of the Church."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

peppermint 0 #52 March 19, 2003 Sorry. I didn't realize that in order to be governor, you had to know all the names of the world leaders in major countries. See, governors deal with state issues. Now, you may say..."well, he was running for president at that time." but he was not president at that time, was he? I like the old saying (which I believe applies here) "It's not knowing the answers, it's knowing how to find them." The flowing wave returns not, nor does the passing hour.

flyingferret 0 #53 March 19, 2003 That just makes it even more sad, an environment where we hijack threads to keep peace?

rgoper 0 #57 March 19, 2003 well the way i figure it, at the time he was asked, i knew the answers and i've never even considered running for any office. i just thought it was odd to be so ill prepared. i guess your point is valid enough, in that he wasn't president at the time, so i guess we're in agreement he didn't need to know where 1600 penn. ave. was until he became president? or is all knowledge on a "need to know?"--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peppermint 0 #61 March 19, 2003 Wow! You know all the names of the major world leaders? Gosh! I daresay you are a minority. How does it serve you, knowing their names? Do you find it makes you smarter, empowered, or just champ at Trivial Pursuit? Good for you *pats on back* The flowing wave returns not, nor does the passing hour.

skreamer 1 #62 March 19, 2003 Speaking about blind people, true story : I had a part-time job waiting tables when I was a student. Anyway we had this one chick working with us who wasn't particularly bright. So, one night this couple come into the restaurant, blind wife being assisted by her husband. They are sitting in the not so bright chick's section. She walks up to the table with two menus and puts one down in front of each of them. Now, it was rather obvious from the moment they walked in that the wife was blind, so there was an uncomfortable silence for a moment before the husband says 'My wife is blind.'. Waitress looks a bit confused for a moment, then smiles, taps the blind wife on the shoulder and says : 'Your menu is in front of you.' As funny as it is now, I can remember cringeing at the time...

billvon 3,058 #75 March 19, 2003 A plane loses power over the mountains; on board is the pilot, Bush, Chirac, the Pope and a college kid. (Hey, this is a joke - at least there are no hookers or midgets.) The pilot comes back from the cockpit. "Bad news, folks - we have to bail out but there's only four parachutes. I'm gonna take one so I can get word to Bombardier why the engines failed, so I can save the lives of other passengers." With that he takes a parachute, opens the baggage door and bails out. Bush and Chirac eye each other momentarily, then lunge. Bush grabs it and puts it on. "I'm the leader of the strongest country on the planet, and it is my vision of a democratic middle east that must survive. You, my friend, do not deserve to live after what you did." With that he bails out. The remaining three look at each other. "Take the parachute, my son," says the Pope. "I am not long for this world anyway." "No problem, your holiness, we're all gonna make it" says the college kid. "The guy with all the vision just jumped with my backpack." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
