Win.

Close thread.

well, i'd say some people still live up in the mountains out of touch with reality, but these people must necessarily have answered the phone and taken a poll.

so who knows. were they calling asylums?

Count me in the 10%:

Technological deflation

Actuarial Escape Velocity, where life-expectancy is starting to grow by more one year, per year

Youth less prone to sex, drinking & drugs?

Solar power supplying all the world's energy needs in twenty years

It's easy to see that things are getting better and better if you read books and articles by scientists and engineers, as opposed to the soundbites and talking points fed to us by politicians and journalists.

That's probably the 10% with the cash to buy everything when it hits rock bottom and will make a killing in the inevitable economic recovery.

Or if you escape to science fiction rather than economical reality.

You may very well be justified to be in that 10%, but I guarantee that of that 10%, 99.9% would have no clue what the HELL anything you just referenced means. (I agree we're heading in the right direction, but politically that depends on these 08 elections- presidential, gub, senate and house)

The people who cashed out of the market when it was ~14K and now are salivating over the ruins of Wall Street.

TheAbstractor: Youth less prone to sex, drinking & drugs?

that's the wrong track. sex, drinking and drugs is what youth is all about.

If you can keep you head while everyone around loses theirs...then you have obviously misunderstood the situation.

I, for one, welcome our new oligarch masters!

You know, he should really start using a logarithmic scale for this. It's impossible to see any detail in this thing.

I suggest you all subscribe to this man's newsletter, once he gets around to writing it.

They are the 10% that want things to go to shiat so baby Jeebus will come back.

The Market cannot be that bad, Warren Buffet made $8 BILLION in the last two (2) months. And he was drunk on margaritas the whole time.

===================

America (disregard if you're not american) is ranked 46th(!) in life-expectancy. Just 10 years ago, we were in the top 5.

That's not progress. That's regressing.

These guys.



That's Simon and Hecubus from "Kids in the Hall" if you could not tell.

Well by pure probabilities, 10% of the population has an IQ below 70.

10% of the population is left handed.

10% of the population is gay leaning.

10% of the population doing this or thinking that is just pure chance.

The 10% who entered their shorts before shorting was banned.

Does this mean that Coevolution Quarterly is restarting?

Cubic Zirconium Jim Brady

Ahurm. That should be spelled 'Poleethman'.

Carry on.

The 10% who have guaranteed government pensions to live on.

Weaver95: If you can keep you head while everyone around loses theirs...then you have obviously misunderstood the situation.

...then you're probably not paying attention.

My guess: Bush, Cheney, their oil buddies, their buddies in the contracting business -- the ones making all the money

I believe the article refers to how well our country is doing as a whole, now hot well the advancement of technology is doing. Which means you have to look at icky economics, and you have to consider about 200 more factors concerning the poor and middle class that make up the majority of this country.

so you're saying it's the retarded homo lefties?

/i think i read the same thing in a michelle malkin blog

I don't know but I'm gonna stare at this picoontil I find one of them.

Maybe there's a 10% sampling error.

Kleptocracy is great, but only for the few years that it doesn't collapse the entire country.

"Newsweek asks the question everyone is wondering. Just who in the hell are the 10% who think the US is on the right track?"

The 10% of this country that is going to receive a Bush pardon?

Seriously, wait until you see how many people involved in this criminal enterprise are going to get pardoned; it may equal 10%.

You could count me in the author's 10%. As cynical as I am, I also something of an optimist.

I just remember one thing...I could be on fire.

"sad it's tied."


Heh.

Bowen: Richest 1% and dumbest 9%?

where's the RON PAUL ????

Phil Moskowitz: Kleptocracy is great, but only for the few years that it doesn't collapse the entire country.

These bozos forgot the tapeworm principle. Take what you want, but leave the host alive if you want it to continue.

(Think of that 10% that thinks buying twice as many tickets makes them twice as likely to win the lottery.)

TheShavingofOccam123: I don't know but I'm gonna stare at this picoontil I find one of them.

I think the filter actually added a little extra meaning to that post.

andrewagill: You know, he should really start using a logarithmic scale for this. It's impossible to see any detail in this thing.

The fact that that is shifted to the left as much as it is does not give me hope for my country. I just hope that after this election the kids of those idiots see what a great president can be and realize that melatonin does not make people bad.

Bowen: dumbest 9%

People who are doing ok for themselves and don't ever spare a second to think about the rest of the country.

When they ask "is the nation headed in the right direction?" People hear "is your life going ok?"

andrewagill: You know, he should really start using a logarithmic scale for this. It's impossible to see any detail in this thing.

I remember the good ole days when either side was equal red and blue, and so I was all like, "yo, he really should start using a logarithmic scale for this. It's impossible to see any detail in this thing."

It is ironic. Dontcha think?

The same idiots who think that tax cuts are going to get us out of this crisis...

...anyone see Lindsey Graham on Meet the Press today? That is what he is touting as McCain's grand economic plan - cutting corporate and capital gains taxes.

Didn't we do that already in the past 8 years with negative outcomes?

McCain = A third term of George W. Bush.

FTFA: "Nobody's that Republican"

Nope. I'm sorry. There are easily 10% of Americans who are that Republican. Hell, I know a number of them. "Things go up, things go down, but we're taking on the bad guys like we should. We didn't blink, so we're A-OK." Or another: "Was the U.S. on the right track in the middle of World War 2? -- of course!"

It's amazing what you can make yourself believe if you try hard enough.
