Damn, that's a lot of assistants.

She needs them all. It takes a lot to get a Silver Back looking pretty. And after all of their efforts, she is still ugly as sin...
Kinda like putting lipstick on a pig...

No story here. Hillary Clinton had 19 and Laura Bush had 18-24.

Also one was a direct quote, so I'll give BL the benefit of the doubt and assume he left out the "[sic]" after the quote

Not too smart to give the benefit of the doubt to a person who obviously has no idea what the difference between your and you're is. You would not find a direct quote from me confusing the two because I don't. Language precision is an indicator of intelligence, IMO, particularly on the basic level "your vs. you're" represents.

That was the purpose of the "" at the end there. Apparently it was not noted though.

Language precision is an indicator of training. Intelligence and education are not one and the same, though the can be and often are related.

drg, I saw this article a few days ago, and I was reminded of it by your reply. A true student of the flame.

Everyone, read this article before going any further. It will make you more adept at participating in this thread.

"Internet flame wars are very important parts of life and subsequently learning how to start one is part of being a complete human being. Herein is a guide to creating a flame war on the internet.[...]"

I have not read a post in this thread.

I saw DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND EVENTS COORDINATOR FOR THE FIRST LADY.

Seriously. That's a really long title.

That is all I have to say. I tend to avoid political thread. But wtf. That name is too long.

Th think that is a dual title. I think it is supposed to read Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events/Coordinator for the First Lady.

This is promoting cost efficiency in government, because one person is doing two jobs

Correct. I was messed over for life in spelling as public schools originally taught me to read and write phoenetically.

Knight = nit
knife = nif
(there should be a hard bar over the i in both of those examples instead of the dot)

As for intelligence...I am the fellow who found a mistake in the Mensa handbook.

Fact for the day:
The dot over the i or other diacritic mark is called a tittle. That's a great word.

Agreed. I love tittles

[bornl33t]

I'm surprised you didn't catch my lack of capitalization, incorrect punctuation....I mean if you really wanted to discredit me those would also need be included right? But if I didn't do any of that wouldn't that mean I didn't really care? It would indicate I'm lazy right? IMO abbrev. are lazy. Assumptions are indicators of ignorance.

And he's not really siding with him, he's just siding against you.

Besides if you really want to argue intelligence, then we could discuss this in German. Ich kann beides. Wenn du wirklich so schlau waerst haetest du nichts gesagt. So wie es jetzt staed lache Ich am lautesten.
