Never heard of em... elighten me.

Your governor is a democrat named Bill Ritter.

The Secretary of Defense WAS Rumsfeld, and is now up in the air (the next possibility is former CIA director Robert Gates).

Alan Greenspan used to be Federal Reserve Chairman (he's an economist). The current Chairman is Bernanke.

Kofi Annan is from Ghana, and is the UN (United Nations) Secretary General.


Consider yourself enlightened.

See? Removing your head from your butt isn't as hard as most people make it out to be, huh.

well most people dont know about politics because the tv news really doesnt say anything thoughtfull about it and thats were probably 90% of people get their political knowledge. The governer race here in Wisconsin didnt talk about a single issue. They just badmouthed each other and go figure, the one that spent more won the election.

It's not that I don't care about politics (oh wait, yeah it is!), but I've got more important things to worry about all the time. Can you tell me how the twine knotter on a 348 john deere baler works? Can you tell me what grit of sandpaper I should be sanding my pickup with after applying 2 coats of primer surfacer? Can you tell me how to port the heads off of a 351 windsor so they flow better? Can you tell me how to take 20" dayton wheels and make beadlocks for my 6x6? Do you even know what dayton wheels are?

These are things I care about... not who's kissing who's *** in politics.

No, but I'm actually interested in learning. That's the difference. I'd love to know that kind of stuff, even though it's totally useless to me.

well, read up on the history of the pledge and what it means, in the context of when it was written then and what it means now in the context of todays climate. There is a world of difference.

Oh, this is going to get me in trouble...

Barak Obama.
