I say go with Richardson, because Obama would have to deal with Bill if he picks Hill.

/just like the election

So if Clinton weighs the same as a duck...

Subby: What else is heavier than water?

Dude...You got it wrong, here, with the passage you want emboldened:

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!


I'm not gonna lay down a fail on ya, though, because it was still funny.

This new learning amazes me, Sir Obama. Explain again how unicorn's bladders may be employed to prevent credit crunch.

You know who else was interested in heavy water?

Well said, Bruce.

Yeah, heaven forbid we try to make people happy. What kind of way is that to run a country? We need 8 more years of pissing everyone off, I say.

 
rogue49 2008-11-15 10:54:37 AM  
on a less humorous note, what I said from a previous thread

rogue49: I think she has a bad habit of rubbing people the wrong way,
Secretary of State needs to have that dilettante that her husband or Obama has.

She would be more appropriate as a Supreme Court Justice,
replacing the libs that have hung on during the GOP years.
Her intelligence and legal accumen would be excellent there,
and she'd be the best to support the libs agenda for balance there.
Most likely to replace Ginsburg, I'd think.

While I tend to be a conservative,
I'm suggesting this in a machiavellian point-of-view with an Obama/liberal agenda,
but also as to what might be most effective for American international interactions.


I'm unsure of Richardson; he'd be a better choice,
at least, from his foreign policy experience and interactions,
and his executive experience to potentially run the State Dept.

OK, peoples, here's how it is:

(1) Make a list of every person who has been an ambassador, chief political officer, or chief of mission in the following countries:

- U.N.
- G.B.
- Russia
- Germany
- France
- Kenya
- South Africa
- Brazil
- Japan
- China
+
- any "ambassadors at-large" if there have been any recently.

(2) Toss out any political hacks, buy-ins, neoconservatives, McCarthyites, and CIA from the above list.

(3) Bring the rest in for interviews. Pick one.

And that my Liege is how we know the Earth to be pear shaped.

On Topic?

Get Hillary to take over from the moribund Failmaster Reid in the Senate and get someone who knows wot they are doing as SoS.

/ie. Not Richardson. Use the above Zagloba strategy.

Reminds me of a great book I just finished reading. Y'all should check it out.

Huh...I woulda figured she'd float.

We need a rule:

Any submitter who misquotes Python in a headline, and still gets greenlit, shall be outed by the modmins forthwith, and the modmin responsible for the greenlight shall be forced to watch 7 hours of FarkTV.

"What also floats in water?"

 
Gyrfalcon [TotalFark] 2008-11-15 11:22:42 PM  
Maybe he meant that Clinton ISN'T heavier than a duck?

 
deeproy 2008-11-16 12:08:10 AM  
Highroller48: We need a rule

I agree.

- Burma!
- What you say that for?
- I got excited.

- This indian's not dead.
- Must be a cooker that doesn't work properly.
