the point is there for comparison - all politicians utilize teleprompters. however, Obama does not get blasted as "stupid" for using one by the general media - Palin instead get's blasted as stupid because she didn't need one instead. Pick any politician about whom the media has fawned over as "intelligent" (as they did over the President) and the model still fits.
and I do write stuff on my hands. When I was in school that's how I kept track of my homework. Now, it's how I keep track of projects when I move from one location to the other - or leave note for myself to remind myself of tasks I want to get done during the day.
for example, two or so days ago i read a Prickly City comic and enjoyed the bit quite alot because it reminded me of some posters here. So i wrote "prickly city" on my left palm as a reminder that when I got back to my computer after work, I could look up the cartoon on line and post it to the Political Cartoons thread.
here it is:
The Ryan Budget Discussed.
what, you think I am lying to you to protect someone that I hope
doesn't run for any office ever again?
how would that work?
