"... among the 34 countries surveyed, we are second only to Turkey in the number of adults who reject evolution."

You people aren't giving 110 percent! We could be No. 1!

USA! USA! USA!

Well, as a rookie President, we have to consider his first year in office as his Spring Training, so 9/11 really doesn't count.

Bah! I see it in porn films all the time. But you'd think they'd use another color besides white...

"You people aren't giving 110 percent! We could be No. 1!"

Have no fear, we're working on it (the "libertarian" homeschool curriculum):http://www.talk2action.org/...

But first, we'll need to eradicate public education entirely. Meet the Libertarian/Religious Right "Alliance for the Separation of SCHOOL and state" (note the signatories):

"Our Proclamation: I proclaim publicly that I favor ending government involvement in education."http://www.schoolandstate.o...

The actual fuck: Tea Partiers love them some Dubya:

"The struggles Bush is having with some Republican primary voters don't seem to have anything to do with his brother's legacy. George W. Bush has a 74/21 favorability rating with them, and the closest any of this year's candidates get to that is a 56% favorability for Mike Huckabee. And the former President has plenty of credibility with conservatives among those rating themselves as 'very conservative' his favorability is 81/14 compared to his brother's 37/43. It's Jeb's record on certain issues rather than his last name that is causing his issues."http://www.publicpolicypoll...

In short, those who deny both evolution and climate change are huge fans of the Christofascist tea baggers running in 2016, except Jeb, who originally claimed to "believe in" science.

I have a favorable opinion of bushes too, although it's a lot of work to trim them and water them.

for a clumsy operation, it was pretty sophisticated. It drove Dr Ivins to "suicide" (dead men tell no tales--I almost misspelled it "tails" but that is also true) and paid out a settlement to Dr Hatfill. Hatfill is only talking after he depletes the 8 million or so, but the "suicide" might give him pause. Uh oh, my tin foil hat is getting too hot (funny story, one of my sons dressed as Buzz Lightyear for Halloween when he was 5 and there is a picture of him in that costume at preschool with a tin foil hat over the "helmet." I figured he was going to wear one at some point, but didn't expect him to do so at age 5.)

Of course, the CNN poll only had two choices:A. Was George W. Bush the greatest president ever?B. Was George W. Bush a great president?

Michael Moore had a chapter about him in "Stupid White Men" in which he discusses Jeb's ability to get the upper hand in any interaction with him. I guess Jeb lost his edge with the time he stayed in Floriduh (I was born there which might esplain my underachiever mentality despite my East Indian ethnicity.)

dii'nt I "suggest" in the past not maligning the commercial sex worker since s/he provides (a) valuable and needed service(s). Granted, I would never put one of his paintings in my home or office.

His latest "flub" should be getting more attention:

Jeb Bush thinks retirement age is 65, and wants you to work until you're 70

The poll was of barely over 1000 people. I'm not convinced at all.

Very few people remember how actually terrible Stalin was. Also, much of his horribleness was hidden -- you have to dig (i.e. take an interest and read a FUCKING BOOK) to discover it.

Boosh is still live in most folx' living memory. That makes a difference.
