Newspaper that struck me as funny...

Post by Forboding Angel »

There was a quote from a newspaper today that basically went to the tune that Al Gore was the best vice president there has ever been.

That's all fine and good until you look at the 2 main official duties of a vice president, and those 2 duties (the ones that actually matter) are:

Make a deciding vote in the event the senate gets a tie.
Stay alive in case the president dies.


The thing that struck me as funny was the thought that "Well damn, he sure did a damn good job of not dying!"

hehehehe :lol:

Well, I think the reason people care about the VP is that Cheney has people confused. You know, what with him running the country and all.

My post wasn't a political statement. I would have had the same reaction no matter what VP the mentioned. It was simply funny. :-)

Yeah. The VP needs more to do. He should be the one who says "Mr.P that idea is really dumb" or "I don't think we need to invade that country just now, Mr.P".

In order to defend myself I would like for you to explain why you feel I am retarded. For example, right now I feel that you are probably too non-intellectual to understand the irony of the statements I made, while you might not even recognize the literary reference. If this is the case then I feel you are the one who is retarded.

If however you disagree that my comparission of the world of IngSoc and the US's current foreign policy isn't funny, I will accept your opinions on the subject.

I read that as "Sindbad is retarded inasmuch as war is peace".

if so, then Caydr entirely missed the point; However, that is for him to elaborate.

I'm just wondering if the people who are reading Hunters: Vacation know that one of the main charicters WROTE that book.

Eric Blair...aka George Orwell.
