I thought you guys might find this funny...

Even on Urban Dictionary Kerry can't be defined without turning him into an anti-Bush. I think Kerry would stand a better shot of winning if he secretly changed his name and got himself listed on the ballot as "Anybody But Bush" instead of his own name.
 
Whew! I can feel the love from way over here.

Those definitions should be presrved in some way--maybe a time capsule.

What exactly is the matter with "anybody but Bush"? That's saying a lot. He's NOT Bush and it's great. We're in a two-party so being the anti-bush is good enough.
 
That reminds me of Dan Bartlett being on the Daily Show. Jon Stewart said a typical DS viewer could make a bong out of an apple, Bartlett said those weren't GWB's voters 😀

Same folks (*ahem* college) on Urban Dictionary! 🙂

Works for me. I wish Kerry would get up and show us more so this thing would realy be in the bag, but for the moment I'm happy with Anybody-But-Bush.
 
Anyone see that picture of Bush giving the finger? Is that a real picture? Nothing on Snopes about it.
 
"You know I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office."

--- George W. Bush, 1989.




HAHA
 
Media creation with a degree from Yale. I don't care if he had a B average, that is a feat in and of itself.

The whole anti-Bush thing is tiring. Nobody can even put together a shred of reason as to why they should hate President Bush. It is simply the popular thing to do within the so-called "intellectual elite" of today. For some reason liberalism and socialism is the "smart" politik of the modern age, so being anti-Bush appears intelligent.

Read the first few entries for John Kerry on UrbanDictionary.com. They accuse Bush of being inarticulate and stupid...
 
Getting into Yale under legacy admissions is not a feat, either is "passing" once you are in. The guy didn't even want to go to Yale (he hates the North East), he just couldn't get into any Texas universities.

Passing college is more than a feat, it is an acheivement indicative of character. I've known hundreds of people in my lifetime who dropped out of college due to their lack of commitment and dedication and their unwillingness to make an effort to pass. George W. Bush put in the effort to earn his degree at one of the most academically challenging schools in our nation. If that is not an accomplishment worthy of some form of praise, then why the hell did I even go to my State University and work my ass off to graduate?

I'm the first generation in my family to attend a University. I graduated third in my class in History and Political Science and that is one of my finest accomplishments in life. To say that passing college is not a great acheivement is arrogance.

Well Todd, you've peaked my interest. Where was your undergrad and masters degree from?

State schools, no legacy programs, all merit. I never applied for a masters program, it was a freebie as part of the Ph.D. I guess if I had a rich powerful dad I could have went to a fancy ivy league school, but I kind of like standing on my own two feet and not having a silver spoon in my mouth.
 
Hey you passed college. Three cheers!

Wait, passing college once admitted isn't a feat as I recall you saying above. You don't deserve the respect as an educated man that you receive. Sorry.

what school did You Go to that Still Has courses called "history" or "Political Science" and were You Ranked or did You Just Score High.

p.s. College degrees are a dime a dozen. sorry to say.


I once ripped TheMagnificentCheese
 
History and Political Science was my major. Out of my graduating class, my scores were third in rank. I was a Junior College transfer into the University of Washington, Tacoma. Today I teach Social Studies to sixth and seventh graders at a middle school near my home.

As far as college degrees being a dime a dozen, this may be true within a certain demographic. But for those of us from humble beginnings and for a vast majority of Americans, a college degree is a great accomplishment. To diminish the value of a person's education is to diminish yourself as an individual. Those who are willing to criticize President Bush of being incoherent and stupid are secure in the fact that their arrogance goes completely unchecked. Who are they to say that they could formulate policy better than an individual who has many years of political experience and a prestigous degree to back it up? Regardless of how he acheived these experiences and honors, he deserves respect as a very capable leader through the trials he has been given during his term.

This statement makes no sense. You fail to realize that Bush is a socialist himself, especially a military socialist. In fact, conservatism and socialism are not mutually exclusive. See chapter 5 of the link in my signature. The only fundamental difference between social-democratic socialism (which is what you refer to as the "smart politik") and the socialism of conservatism is how the property that has been expropriated from the natural owners is distributed to non-producers.

Where's the proof he got a B average?

Anybody can graduate from Yale. Honestly, as other have mentioned on this board, once you're in (and here it's because of legacy, not merit), it's almost impossible to flunk out. Now if he had 1600 sats and straight A average in college I might give him some credit-- but he didn't.

I learned something here today. Thank you dissipate.

Infohawk, I do not agree that college is easy and does not require intelligence and hard work to pass. But I do see your point. Normally, if a student is worthy of admission to such a school, they are aready equipped with the proper education and work ethic to excel in such an environment. But if Bush was admitted on "legacy" as is most likely true, he must have not been so formally equipped. His ability to work hard and gain the intelligence he needed to graduate is what everyone wants for their own lives. To climb from having little and accomplish something large. That is why we cannot diminish the pride and value of a college degree.

I see where you're coming from though. I just see it a bit differently due to my background, and maybe a little bit from the kids I see every day.

No problem, I suggest you read the rest of the book in addition to chapter 5. It has stuff that someone into poly sci would find interesting. Although, I'm not going to lie, it is not "objective" material.
