This of course explains that smashing success enjoyed by the Jimmy "175" Carter presidency.

I'm not even going to respond to the rest, it's such obvious flamebait.

Really?? Maybe IQ is just a psuedo-measure. Maybe it just measures how well a person can answer a test concocted by people that have an agenda. The agenda being that they want people to believe that if you score high on their test that means you're smarter than everyone else, and you get free membership on si, with the right to make profound posts about topics that most people don't give a second thought to, since they have better and more productive things to do..

BTW I didn't realize that "an IQ genius" has a monopoly on good judgement, faultless decision making ability, or unparalleled powers to understand issues. Aside from being generally obnoxious "know-it-alls", I just always thought they could use "the big words" and subsequently write better than the rest of us. (WITH proper spelling and grammar, since that is always so important in the conveyance and proper understanding of an idea.) Thanks for the "heads up".

As far as the current Bush, I haven't paid much attention to what he's done or not done. Are we at war with anyone? Are taxes higher? Did they take away the citizens right to keep and bear arms yet? What's been going on with him, anyway?

P.S. I never liked what Clinton was doing in the sex department, those politicians need to be watched a little more carefully, (both for the voyeur aspect and the moral issues) the next thing you know one of them is going to kill one of their "conquests".

yields, Bill Clinton was an criminal AMERICAN EMBARASSMENT

the scumbag and all his scumbag friends put a number on the American people and justice system that will take a generation to overcome.

and as the his 'penis getting stuck', NO THATS WAS NEVER THE ISSUE.

HE LIED TO A F@CKING GRAND JURY.

and did you know its a felony to lie to an agent of the court?

do you think you would get locked up for refusing to answer or LYING to the court?

To condense my previous reply to your first message:

Genius in the pursuit of evil is not preferred to simplicity in the pursuit of good.

The end goal is not how well someone plays the game itself. If it were, Hitler or Stalin could be considered wonderful leaders and desirable role models for all.

I prefer wisdom pursuing freedom, compassion and fairness to academic skill pursuing the control of a people or one's personal ambitions.

Nice find, yields....

Unfortunately, IQ is only loosely correlated with wealth, or power (see stock market),...

Bush should be drummed out of office. Next time he will not be elected again, and the 4 years will be over fast. War games instead of measures for carbon-dioxide emission reduction? BFD, we need a bubble in defense stocks, why not.

Meanwhile Bush is busy in Genova, chit-chatting and holding hands with the Italy Padre Padrones, Berlusconi...maybe his IQ improves a bit...PFFT!
