Quote of the Week
« on: May 18, 2008, 01:59:35 AM »

"I believe the potential for life begins at conception." - Hilary Clinton (commenting on abortion)

People are often saying clever, interesting, but more often, stupid things. We need somewhere to store these quotes. I'm expecting Bush & Miss Universe quotes to appear shortly.


A couple of classics:
"Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever." - Brian Wilson
"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils"  - Louis Hector Berlioz

Mandatory Bushisms:

"Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, 'Vote for me. I'm an agent of change.' In 2004, I said, 'I'm not interested in change—I want to continue as president.' Every candidate has got to say 'change.' That's what the American people expect." —Washington, D.C., March 5, 2008

"I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be—hold hands."—on how he can contribute to the Middle East peace process, Washington, D.C., Jan. 4, 2008

"I fully understand those who say you can't win this thing militarily. That's exactly what the United States military says, that you can't win this military."—on the need for political progress in Iraq, Washington, D.C., Oct. 17, 2007

And now for some oldies but goodies. Amongst my favourites are:

"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream." —LaCrosse, Wis., Oct. 18, 2000

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." —Greater Nashua, N.H., Jan. 27, 2000

"They misunderestimated me." —Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000

"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" —Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

Ahem. Yeah I'm done.

Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe.

You'll note, though, that with the information that was available, he didn't say anything particularly wrong.

I think that even in the deep historical past of 1989 we knew that:

1. Mars is further from the Sun that Earth (thank goodness)
2. Mars has no water
3. Mars has little breathable oxygen and therefore...
4. We cannot breathe on Mars

Oh...I was thinking of a previous '89.  A hundred years ago it'd have made much more sense.

1. Mars is further from the Sun that Earth (thank goodness)

Well, you'll note that he said "somewhat"...that gives alot of leverage.

Yes. There are some 'celerities' who are beyond a joke now and SHOULD NOT BE touched by comedians because jokes about them AREN'T FUCKING FUNNY ANYMORE- Paris Hilton, George Bush, Heather Mills, Shane Warne, Amy Winehouse

Yeah I find the Heather Mills jokes a bit much.  Just cause she has one leg... honestly, its prosthetic.

Ahh, Trux...

Anyhoo... is Wayne Carey in that list yet MSJ? Must be getting close.

I must say I found the Shane Warne jokes tedious even back in the Today Today days...
