"But what people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward." -- Professor Bachmann

Bachmann, like Sgt. Schultz, knows nothing.

In any event, China could win a war against the U.S. without firing a single shot. All China would have to do is dump all of its U.S. treasuries and the run on treasuries would collapse our ability to fight any war. It turns out that smart weapons and stealth bombers cost a lot of money to use. Human cannon fodder is cheap.

Note to the mathematically literate: Yes, I know that would actually only be true if he used the term "median" rather than "average". But you take the setups you get.

It's that attitude that is going to get Sarah Palin elected the next President. People are less comfortable with people that THINK they are smarter, than constituents in other states, and towns, that are a world apart from their socioeconomic demographic.

I mean, wasn't he supposed to be the 'smartest man in the room' or something? Based upon actual actions that can be empirically evaluated now, it seems more like it was all about who had the 'smartest teleprompter' in the room, in retrospect. Which actions are those that can be empirically evaluated?

That's the big problem with hick voters. People should want an intelligent president. The problems the country and the world are facing are hard are require intelligence, if only do be able to properly evaluate the advice of domain experts. I, for one, would want a president who was more intelligent than me. But, alas, I am unable to convince Steven Hawkings to run.

However, he did win the election once you discount all the electoral fraud, and had he served as president, the state of the country would be far better. But really, I still am bitter that Picard-Riker lost the '92 election.

    16   7:39pm Mon 22 Aug 2011   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   shrekgrinch says No he didn't. Dude, I live in Palm Beach county, the county in Florida that screwed up the 2000 elections. I can absolutely assure you that all the old Jews down here did NOT vote for that anti-semitic Pat Buchanan. You count those votes for Al Gore and that would mean he carried Florida and thus won the election. In case you doubt that Jews who lived through WWII don't like Buchanan, consider this: Buchanan wrote that it was impossible for 850,000 Jews to be killed by diesel exhaust fed into the gas chamber at Treblinka. When George Will challenged him about it last week on TV (it is, alas, all too possible), he ducked. Buchanan's long battle with Nazi-hunters is shy of loony but still conspicuous. In 1983 he criticized the U.S. government for expressing regret over its postwar protection of Klaus Barbie. In 1985, he advocated restoring the citizenship of Arthur Rudolph, an ex-Nazi rocket scientist accused of employing slave labor at a V-2 plant. ref In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler's anti-Semitic and genocidal tendencies, he was "an individual of great courage" ref No 60-90 year-old Jew living in South Florida voted for Buchanan.

    17   7:49pm Mon 22 Aug 2011   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   And if you have any doubt that a fair counting of the voter's intentions would have left Gore president, read this wonderful mathematical proof that Gore won. It's conclusion: Evidently, the number of votes that were intended for Gore but that went to Buchanan because of the butterfly ballot is large enough to have changed the election outcome given any of several reasonable standards that might have been used to count the votes in Florida. I'd trust mathematics over politicians and newsmen any day. But the great thing about mathematics is that you don't have to trust it. You just have to understand it.
