Already happened, sort of...some inbred hillbilly in Georgia is selling shirts with Obama's name, and a pictire of Curious George:

Clinton was using that story as an example of how she has more experience than Obama, so contextually it is different, and not a double standard.  He wasn't using his mistatement to proffer his superiority as a candidate.


Not to mention, Obama was raked over the coals by people misconstruing his "bitter" statement, so he's hardly immune to that.

The GOP loss in the Mississippi special election is not a good sign for the GOP for November.  Of course the DNC does have 6 months to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory . . . . .

'Still coping with the news that Fay Wray was born in Canada.  Anne Murray I was cool with, but Fay Wray?  Say it ain't so.

Well, when we finally get off our duffs and finish taking you guys over you
can all claim to have been born in Canada, so it'll all work out, Michael.

Grumble. We tried to take over the US and our best Sleeper agent (Walter Mondale) got dead-ended in the Vice-presidency. Took all the fight out of us, I can tell you.

(And we refuse to take responsibility for Karl Rove, that man is surely descended from Trolls.)

Well, with memories of my adolescent dreams of carnal knowledge now so irreparably tarnished,  you and your bunch may as well get on with it....


edit to correct drift:

Well, with memories of my adolescent dreams of carnal knowledge now so irreparably tarnished (and with no Republican candidate I'm entirely comfortable voting for), you and your bunch may as well get on with it....


Walter Mondale=Norwegian sleeper agent!  It explains a lot.  ;)

I think you misunderstood my question. How many black voters are there?  How many non-black voters are there? Totals - just the straight up ratio in the U.S. is what I'm interested in.

When you find out, let me know.  I'd be interested as well.

Hey - the Norwegians were responsible for one of the best real-life
espionage stories of WWII! Beware their sleeper agents at your own peril!

'Walter Mondale = Norwegian sleeper agent':

For future reference...'sleeper agents' are not supposed to bore everyone around them to sleep!;-)

Help me out then; what page is that link on?

(Oh, and saying "seems" is not baseless - I was relating an impression, not fact. But besides that, you were the one who had that info. I thought you'd  be happy to supply it again. Why make me go through all the trouble of  hunting it down when you've got it?)

And people call Americans lazy.  I scrolled back the 6 pages needed to find it.  I don't memorize every web site address I go to.  If you do, I can see why you would think I had it at my fingertips.  Unfortunately, I don't have a photographic memory.

Though, I realized I hadn't mentioned that I had to manually count them all previously even though I thought I had.

If there were, let's say for example, 15 motions regarding the same bill, did
you count the abstentions as 15 abstentions or 1?
