On a trip to Great Britain, while he was President of the United States, Bill Clinton had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth. During that meeting he asked her, "How does one manage to run a country so smoothly?"

"That's easy," the Queen replied, "You surround yourself with
intelligent ministers and advisors."

"But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?" asked Bill.

You ask them a riddle," she replied, and with that she pressed a button and said, "Would you please send Tony Blair in." When Blair arrived, the Queen said, "I have a riddle for you to answer for me.

Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?" Blair replied, "That's easy. The child was me."

"Very good," said the Queen. "You may go now."

Sizing up his wife's chance in her presidential bid, and thinking back on that meeting, Bill Clinton spoke to Hillary He said to her, "I have a riddle for you, and the answer is very important. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was that child ?"

Hillary replied, "Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine
the answer. Can I deliberate on this for awhile?"

"Yes," said Bill, "I'll give you four hours to come up with the
answer."

So Hillary called a meeting of her campaign team, from top to bottom, and asked them the riddle. But after much discussion and many suggestions, none of them had a satisfactory answer. She was quite upset, not knowing what she would tell her husband, the former President. As Hillary was leaving her meeting she ran into her most formable challenger to her presidential nomination, Barack Obama.

So she said, "Mr. Obama, can you answer this riddle for me? Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was the child?"

"That seems pretty easy," said Obama, "I think the child would be me."

"Oh thank you," said Hillary. "You may just have ensured my nomination for the democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States!"

So Hillary went back to Bill and said, "I think I know the answer to your riddle…

The child was Barack Obama.!"

"No, you Dim Wit!” Shouted Bill. "The child was Tony Blair"

I can't stand the fact that my party (Democrats) is not allowing my delegates to vote for the nominee. By this time next month every state will have moved their primary dates up 3-4 weeks, Florida will not be the major problem, Iowa and New Hampshire will be so once again the nominee will have been decided way before it comes to us. But go ahead and punish Florida anyways, after all, when have a few hundred votes ever actually mattered?

I'm thinking of voting for Stephen Colbert (either on the ballot or as a write in). I know he may not be the best, but I don't want to half-ass it, I want to vote for a real clown for office (Sorry, but I don't like any of the Republicans either - I was considering Edwards, because I actually liked him last time, but probably not now). I consider myself to be very liberal, but I want someone with intelligence and a whole lot of balls to take an action (with careful deliberation) and stand by it.

A popular Des Moines Barber shop had a new robotic barber installed A fellow came in for a haircut. As the robot began to cut his hair it asked him, "What's your IQ?"

The man replied, "130."

So the robot proceeded to make conversation about physics, astronomy, investments, insurance, and so on. The man listened intently and said, "This is really cool."

Later, another gent came in for a haircut and the robot asked him as it began the haircut, "What's your IQ?"

The man responded, "100."

So the robot started talking about football, baseball, and so on.

The man thought to himself, "Wow, this is really cool."

Later on, a third guy came in to the barber shop. As with the others, the robot barber asked him, "What's your IQ?"

The man replied, "70."

The robot then said, "So, I understand you Democrats are really excited about Hillary running for president?"

Boooooooooo

As long as we get someone who will agree that gays are not evil and will help us with what has been discussed before (god I don't feel like revisiting that thread right now), I really don't care what party they're from (shallow I know, but it may work).

Hey, don't feel bad. All I want from a candidate is someone who thinks Mexicans are evil and will get them the hell out of my country. I also don't care what party that person is from.

i dont think any of the candidates considers gays to be evil. but i also doubt any of them are going to actively fight for gay marriage. its a political death trap regardless of you being democrat or republican. the political time for this issue has not yet arrived in the minds of americans

Which is probably why I'm going to end up going with some kind of independent or libertarian (or Colbert - at least he's supposed to be funny).
