Not to mention that even if that was all taxable income, they would only be paying the pre-Bush rate on $50,000 of it.

Both. There is no doubt. I don't think she even cares if she wins. She gonna make a mint off the notoriety. Heck she'll probably be a Faux analyst by Christmas.

TW used to call himself a professor. I'm just asking him for the minimum due diligence for his frothy whipped bullshit, as any good academic would.

60 Minutes (I believe it was) reported on what is taught in these colleges about 10 years ago. They showed students being videotaped. Then analyzed for how their facial muscles must move to make themselves appear to be more honest. I believe the concept was called kinesis.

O'Donnell demonstrates characteristics of one carefully trained in same. Do not know if she receieved such training. But what she does well is presentation. How to appear honest. As I believe classicman notes, the words and concepts behind her presentation are empty. She is all about image. And that, unfortunately is enough for many to believe her. Image alone was sufficient for O'Donnell to defeat a long time, popular, and highly regarded Republican Congressman from Delaware.

I never called myself professor. Would not even consider such a title. And have no idea where that idea even came from.

A ten year old 60 minute show about some college, does not warrant the blanket statement, "Christian Colleges".

Griff · 10-19-2010, 06:38 AM

Agreed. Besides didn't she go to Hogwarts?

I think I do. One of the default user titles is "Professor" 365-399 posts. If you were using the default title in that period...

... but he played one on the web.

Ah. I did not know that. It fit so well with TW's tone that I assumed it was his choice.

I believe you are referring to a piece that was about schools for those who wished to become televangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Jerry Falwell, Oral Roberts and the famous Joel Osteen. Thats a big difference than just a Christian College.

She's cute and "perky" (like a mini-Palin.) but thats about it. Not to many. Her presentation sounds immature, uninformed and shallow. She has ZERO substance.
A change from what we got in 2008. Interesting how "hope & change" has morphed into something as ridiculous as this.

Not as popular as one would have believed, apparently. Then again, perhaps complacency took over. Perhaps that apathy led to this situation.

I listenend to her debate Coons this am on the radio.
OMFG - First off, she doesn't know which amendments are which and then she asked where in the constitution was the part about separation of church and state. I had to turn it off.
I strongly dislike Coons opinions, but I'd put yard signs up for him at this point - just to ensure she doesn't win. This woman is beyond pathetic. Its truly sad that the choices to elect our representatives have come to this.

Did tw really have less than 400 posts in February 2003?

Pete Zicato · 10-19-2010, 02:47 PM

By looking at his join date and total posts, I see that tw has about a half a post per day average. So, yeah that seems likely.
