Because I think it will help throw the election to the GOP.

Thanks.

1. It's making less and less of a difference.

Remember... the further "right" on this chart means the more the candidate is in the pocket of global corporatists. (More and more, the "social" issues are merely used like sheepdogs to herd the sheeple into their corporate pens.)

2. Try to explain primaries
versus caucuses, delegates and super delegates. :eyes: One can only hope our extra terrestrial friends have a better functioning system of electing their leaders than we do.

5. I've got a feeling that that is the reason they choose to land in remote areas...
our system is so fucked up, it makes their third eyes hurt.

3. because they can appeal to that 10% that hasn't made up their minds
the other 45% of us can kiss the leadership's ass because we don't have anywhere else to go.

4. I've wondered how one might explain leaf blowers to aliens.
But your idea is a lot better. :D

8. Explain why women put paint around their oral cavities.
Explain why humans don't give a hoot about the condition of their planet.
Explain why humans kill each other over which superstition is true, when it's patently obvious that they're all a crock of shit.
Humans, individually, seem quite sane and intelligent, but humanity as a whole is an insane and irrational blight on the planet.

10. Red lipstick was used by prostitutes in Napoleon's day ... to mark the client's 'member'
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 09:07 PM by TahitiNut
(You know... that "certain part of the male anatomy.")

Well... not to be outdone, the "ladies" of Napoleon's court took up the same 'practice' and made it a fad. It became FASHION.


Have you ever noticed what color Monica wore? :silly:
