Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

I went to two CC's at the same time...high school with ash trays.

But..you moved on to a real college, so did I...Limbaugh? Not so much....:)

Perhaps but the classes were the same at the CC. No difference. Trig was trig, organic chem was organic chem, etc., etc., Now some of my fellow students there... that was a different story. Only four or five us graduated with our science degrees. Our prof was a real SOB. Not an easy man to please.

Here's something crazy. All of my out of state credits transferred from the CC to the university in Indiana. My twin who has taken courses at an extension of that university was not allowed to transfer any. And some of the profs were the same profs!
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Indiana huh?
We used to go to Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom every year back in the 70's and 80's.
I'm a rock-and-roll guy but I can dig on most everything--like Risky's thread on old-time country.

How about your governor Pence tacking to the center--kinda pissed off the TEAs.
And I like Sen. Donnelly but don't hear enough from him.
And just love 80/90 when they replace tollway people with machines that **** up .
Tell me about it. My first experience with politics was applying for a state summer job. I was told if I was not a republican I could kiss the job goodbye. That was when my state of Indiana had patronage clearance forms as part of the job application. I had to go around and get signatures from various county officers including the county commissioner. 2 percent of your pay also went to the party of power if you were hired. Evan Bayh got rid of it thank God.

Being involved in lots of non profits including president I've had my fill of politics. I don't volunteer for anything anymore.
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Palin's greatest crime was that she ran for VP and is a woman. That just pissed the left off so much they stalk her to this day. Of course with them it's hands off guys like Bill Clinton who party on down.

No, Palin's greatest crime was she was a clown that was selected by John McCain to run as a VP, in a move that amounted to a hail mary to save his already off the rails campaign. The move not only exposed McCain's poor judgement, but the fact that so many took her seriously exposed the lack of judgment on the part of too many of the electorate... We not only had a uneducated politician so close to such a high office; we had an uneducated electorate that was willing to put her there. That all said, most of us are glad that her 15 minutes of fame finally ran out (a year or two late)....

It appears, however, that she may have stolen a page from Tonya Harding (I swear they are cousins or sorority sisters, of something) on how to stay in the news. event does nothing by further her reputation as a minor league, backwater politician called up to have a cup of coffee in the majors because the parent club was going nowhere and needed to sell tickets.

At the end of the day, Sarah Palin is harmless. What is really scary are the people that think she could be a leader.

But I thought were supposed to ignore academic superiority? You know like Obama's over Palin's?

Academic superiority ?

I served with grunts who were high school dropouts who had a 130 GCT.

George W. Bush flew the F-102 Delta Dagger, considered the most difficult aircraft to fly in the Air Force. Not really a fighter but an interceptor armed with nuclear tipped air to air missiles. Most Air Force fighter jocks couldn't qualify flying the F-102.

Sorry but the Air Force doesn't put dumb people in the cockpit of a fighter, especially a F-102.
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

I've read a lot of your stuff and respect you.
And your computer skills will be invaluable to our society as you grow older like I am--60.

Thanks, and I certainly hope so. Technology is a constantly moving target, and programming is even faster paced. New languages, database technologies, frameworks, etc. pop up every few years and it's tough to keep up with them to remain competitive. So I've tried to diversify myself some, entering the realm of management and now higher level decision making. I'm hoping that provides a path for me even if I fall behind on the latest and greatest technologies.

My forte was Chem/Physics teaching--and I'm very proud of what the kids have accomplished with THEIR hard work.
My ultimate goal was to prepare them for that first college year with very tough College Professors in my subject areas.
Not to mention teaching them how to be a good student in anything--including real life .

Heh- chemistry is one of those classes I can't actually remember passing, but I must have since I graduated. I had wanted physics but it was full. The harder a subject is to learn, the harder it's got to be to teach. And the patience and conviction to deal with kids... I could never do that. I've never liked that phrase, "those who can't do, teach". The people saying that clearly don't remember what their own teachers had to deal with.

I used to get a lot of "you don't know what it's like to have kids" from everyone in my life.
I'd retort, "aren't you glad to have a teacher who dedicates his whole life to your kids ?

I remember some of that. My son wasn't born until I was 30, and I was involved in a lot of education and child-related debates before that. I like to think I have a strong sense of empathy and could imagine parents' perspectives, but there are times since my son was born that I've thought things that my empathy didn't allow me to reach. Like how I could quite possibly beat someone to death if they hurt my son--and I am not a violent or confrontational person.

But... I think I'm getting a bit off-topic. :shock:

CCs have almost become a necessity for our parents these days due to cost--even for the top ten out of 250 in a class.
The AA degree transfers in toto to all our Universities here in IL.
And they've tightened the screws on raising requirements to do this.
We have a local CC with many PhDs in Chem and other sciences .

Here's something crazy. All of my out of state credits transferred from the CC to the university in Indiana. My twin who has taken courses at an extension of that university was not allowed to transfer any. And some of the profs were the same profs!

I wonder if it has to do with the whole AA degree versus just a course or so .
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Something must be wrong here. Either that, or Sarah's chance at becoming our first female president must be finally going by the wayside. I only say that because, and I am pretty sure I did not see it in the thread, but because, not one of her diehard supporters has come out to tell all those who think she is dumb as rock, that they are threatened by her. That was the Standard Operating Procedure for a long time wasn't it?

Does this really mean we won't have a President Sarah? Oh, how the comics must be in mourning if it is truly official.

Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

An attorney a Constitutional law professor. :lamo

>" Mr. Obama has been rejected, slapped down, overturned, tossed out, ridiculed and laughed out of the courtroom so many times..."<

Read more: HURT: The Supreme Court's Biggest Loser: Barack Obama - Washington Times

An hysterical (and pointless) article for the funny papers. Thanks for sharing, we all need a little comic relief now and then. Try getting you news from a real news source and lay off the political porn, it will turn your mind to mush.

Sorry, but that article was fundamentally pointless drivel. It had nothing to do with Obama's savvy as an attorney, which is what the title implies, but just take political shots. Its just a very bad editorial and not worth the time it takes to click on it. Prior to reading that, I thought the Washington Times was somewhat serious about news, but I guess not.

But I did say it without a link.

>" To Bush-bashers, it may be the most infuriating revelation yet from the military records of the two presidential candidates: the young George W. Bush probably had a higher I.Q. than did the young John Kerry.

That, at least, is the conclusion of Steve Sailer, a conservative columnist at the Web magazine Vdare.com and a veteran student of presidential I.Q.'s. During the last presidential campaign Mr. Sailer estimated from Mr. Bush's SAT score (1206) that his I.Q. was in the mid-120's, about 10 points lower than Al Gore's.

Mr. Kerry's SAT score is not known, but now Mr. Sailer has done a comparison of the intelligence tests in the candidates' military records. They are not formal I.Q. tests, but Mr. Sailer says they are similar enough to make reasonable extrapolations.

Mr. Bush's score on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test at age 22 again suggests that his I.Q was the mid-120's, putting Mr. Bush in about the 95th percentile of the population, according to Mr. Sailer. Mr. Kerry's I.Q. was about 120, in the 91st percentile, according to Mr. Sailer's extrapolation of his score at age 22 on the Navy Officer Qualification Test.

Linda Gottfredson, an I.Q. expert at the University of Delaware, called it a creditable analysis said she was not surprised at the results or that so many people had assumed that Mr. Kerry was smarter. "People will often be misled into thinking someone is brighter if he says something complicated they can't understand," Professor Gottfredson said.

Well you can expect two more years of comical relief.

But after laughing stop and look at the world today, look at what has happened to our military, look at America today, it's not so funny what Obama has been doing.

Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

So sick of this redneck family. What an embarrassment.

To whom? What is it to you how they act? You should concentrate on being sick of the family in the White House, they're the real embarrassment. The man does selfies while representing our country, where were you then?

Well, there ya go then. Must be true. I mean, if you extrapolate his extrapolations out in the long run, the answers are obvious and quite official.

Bush was apparently a ****ing genius. It was determined before he entered basic that on completion he'd be commissioned. Sure enough, about a month after basic he became a 2LT. What a guy! It looks to me like he even beat the record for shake and bake.

As to flying a F-102, it was an unforgiving aircraft. If Bush had wanted to get in the fight he sure picked the wrong squadron. No F-102s in Nam. Son of a gun, just his bad luck, huh? I guess if he wanted to request a difficult aircraft in a combat zone he could have pulled some strings and flown F-105s - a rocket with a seat in it and arguably as difficult as 102s. But all in all it seemed Bush would have rather flown 102s in Houston than 105s in Phan Rang.

By the way, as far as we can tell, Bush only flew for a year on a 6 year enlistment. Why he didn't fly longer than that is anyone's guess. Maybe he couldn't handle 102s after all.

Actually, I am pretty sure he was in basic training, something like the fifth week, and then got commissioned. No special treatment though.

The IQs are so close they're completely within the margin of error.
Too bad Bush-41's records went missing so you can't provide a link to what an ace pilot he was.
We do have a link to is "mission accomplished" followed by the "bring it on" remark.
Probably the dumbest ****in thing any President has ever said



Up there with the "WIN" button.

Well in my life time I've heard thousands of people, many college grads who mispronounced nuclear. When I was young I also probably did the same because in the 1950's our teachers in the classroom also mispronounced the word nuclear because just a little more than ten years before 99.9% of Americans never heard of the word nuclear.

In my life time I only heard two people who mispronounced corps or misused the word corpse.

Back during the 70's I heard an anti war activist commie call the Marine Corps, Marine corpse.

And when Barack Obama referred to a Navy corpsman as Navy corpse man, three time in a couple of minutes.

Semantics..you set the bar, a president that mispronounces a word is stupid...matters not what the word is.

All the while, you make atrocious spelling errors trying to explain your silly standards.

Yeah, laughing at you.

(Look up Ford and his statement about Poland, no one is perfect, you are focusing on silly minutiae in order feed your bias)
