<p dir="auto">On a trip to Great Britain while he was President of The United States Bill Clinton had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth.</p>
<p dir="auto">During that meeting he asked her, "How does one manage to run a country so smoothly?"</p>
<p dir="auto">"That's easy ," the Queen replied, "You surround yourself with intelligent Ministers and advisors."</p>
<p dir="auto">"But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?", asked Bill.</p>
<p dir="auto">You ask them a riddle," she replied, and with that she pressed a button and said, "Would you please send Tony Blair in."</p>
<p dir="auto">When Blair arrived, the Queen Said, "I have a riddle for you to answer for me.</p>
<p dir="auto">Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?"</p>
<p dir="auto">Blair replied, "That's easy. The child was me."</p>
<p dir="auto">"Very good," said the Queen. "You may go now."</p>
<p dir="auto">Sizing up his wife's chances in her presidential bid, and thinking back on that meeting, Bill Clinton spoke to Hillary.</p>
<p dir="auto">He said to her, "I have a riddle for you, and the answer is very important.</p>
<p dir="auto">Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was that child?"</p>
<p dir="auto">Hillary replied, "Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine the answer. Can I deliberate on this for awhile?"</p>
<p dir="auto">"Yes," said Bill, "I'll give you four hours to come up with the answer."</p>
<p dir="auto">So Hillary called a meeting of her campaign team, from top to bottom, and asked them the riddle.</p>
<p dir="auto">But after much discussion and many suggestions, none of them had a satisfactory answer. She was quite upset, not knowing what she would tell her husband, the former President.</p>
<p dir="auto">As Hillary was leaving her meeting she ran into her most formidable challenger to her Presidential Nomination, Barack Obama.</p>
<p dir="auto">So she said, "Mr. Obama, can you answer this riddle for me? Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was the child?"</p>
<p dir="auto">"That's seems pretty easy," said Obama, "I think the child would be me."</p>
<p dir="auto">"Oh thank you," said Hillary. "You may just have ensured my nomination for the democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States !"</p>
<p dir="auto">So Hillary went back to Bill and said, "I think I know the answer to your riddle. The child was Barack Obama.!"</p>
<p dir="auto">"No, you Dumb #### !" shouted Bill. "The child was Tony Blair"</p>
<p dir="auto">The bottom line... guess where we're headed with the two of them again running the Country.</p>

Most of us will never even get the opportunity to say 'woops' at that level.</p>
<p dir="auto">Im just saying that the people leading our country are more proficient than the special kid at your local mcdonalds who keeps the bathrooms so sparkling clean.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hell, I'll even admit George W. is capable of dressing himself and tieing his own shoes (whether he does so or not is another matter)</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, I'm bored with this thread.  I tried to make it interesting and it failed hard.  baww.</p>

<p dir="auto">There are plenty of people that manage to make it through a university program, even an ivy-league school, and can't really think critically or objectively. The nicest thing you could say about most democrats, for instance, is that they buy-in to Keynesian economics, which has been shown to be full of FAIL by lots of credible economists.  But I'd wager that most democrats in the race couldn't even tell you who their closest ideological economist is because they don't have one.</p>
<p dir="auto">I won't say that the republicans are much better... well except for Ron Paul who will tell you EXACTLY which economists he has studied, written books about, etc (members of the Austrian School... Ludwig von Mises, FA Hayek, etc).</p>
<p dir="auto">The point being -- well-conected dipshits in politics can certainly be stupid-asses, and even if they can do well on standardized tests and turn in thier homework on time, still be utterly unfit for critical thinking.</p>
<p dir="auto">I interview people for software development jobs and they've all got college degrees and they're all from good schools and ... well not all of them get hired by us.</p>
<p dir="auto">Union bosses are also "elected".  Do you think that implies any particular qualification?</p>
<p dir="auto">So while it is probably unfair to say that any of the 08 candidates are plain stupid, lots of them have some funny ideas that have no apparent basis in fact or sound reasoning ability <img src="https://fargostreet.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=40430adaedb" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>

I'm not that much of a fuckass in person, it's just fun to argue on the internet.</p>
<p dir="auto">And the reason I remarked wasn't because of the joke itself, but because of what came right after it, the implication that the 'joke' was an accurate characterization of those people and that the political leadership we could expect from them.  If you read the words that you quoted, I'm pretty sure I made that clear.</p>
<p dir="auto">Even if it was entirely copypasta, he still put it up, which to me means an endorsement of whatever he actually thinks.   If you post something, prepare to get flack about it.  I wouldn't go around posting that stephen hawking is some fucktard cripple if I didn't actually think that, which I don't, because that would be stupid.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have fucked up and said dumb shit on here myself, and I usually am pretty willing to say if I was wrong, or at least explain my position.  I won't retract anything I've said though.  I really hope no one takes ANYTHING on the internet that seriously, as to get personally offended by it.   Sometimes when I post, I like to take it over the top, I think that people HAVE to know I'm fucking around, as no one is THAT big of an asshole, you know.</p>
<p dir="auto">I didn't see your post in the jokes thread, good job tho?</p>

<p dir="auto">So how come you didn't remark to me posting the old, dumb indian joke in the jokes thread? That's right cuz it's a joke. I hope you are kidding, otherwise you just made yourself look less intelligent than some of the redneck bafoons that Bill was referring to.</p>
