Thanks - Joe - for Posting this Really great video showing the President of the United states interacting with a young student - showing interest in his Invention.
Dave Letterman does this on his Show once in a while - about Young Scientists.
It's a Really good segment.
Unfortunately - now that I live in the ET zone I don't catch LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN as much as I used to.
Thousands of students, several well-known athletes and a number of politicians are expected to join Michelle Obama for an event in Des Moines that will promote exercise and healthy eating. Besides the first lady, participants at the Thursday event include Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, gymnast Shawn Johnson, figure skater Michelle Kwan and NASCAR champion Carl Edwards. About 10,000 children will be bused to the event from 45 schools in the Des Moines area. It will be Obama’s first stop on a three-day national tour marking her Let’s Move initiative, which promotes physical fitness and healthy eating for children. She’s been drawn to Des Moines by Iowa’s Healthiest State initiative. That program aims to make Iowa the healthiest state by 2016.

Please explain whats wrong this picture? Where in the HELL are all the White's, and the Asian or Hispanic's, and the rest of the majority, kids? Why does she always focus on blacks and on all those ghetto things? Wouldn't it be politically correct to have children of all races posing with the wonderful First Lady?. (shakes head) She impresses me as being one of those angry black racist women
For starters, it has nothing to do with the event in Des Moines. It is a still from this video of a bunch of kids from a D.C. elementary school doing jumping jacks on the White House lawn. Pause the video when the camera zooms back. Your assignment is to count the white, Latino, Asian and black faces. Then calculate the mean, median and mode for the races and report back to me. We'll find out just how racist is Michelle.
Joe, You must be giddy over the results from Tuesday. Rick crushed in my home state. You won't have to worry about Pres. Santorum hosting science fairs in the White House. Maybe this kind.
Second place entry, middle school group;
Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets;
“We went into a recession in 2008. People forget why. They thought it was a housing bubble. The housing bubble was caused because of a dramatic spike in energy prices that caused the housing bubble to burst,” Santorum told the audience. “People had to pay so much money to air condition and heat their homes or pay for gasoline that they couldn’t pay their mortgage.”
A black man?? Obama is half white. Why isn't he a white man?
Ah, because of the one-drop principle. Democrats once maintained that if a person had even one drop of African blood in their veins, they were black. Democrats. The nation's traditional racists.
I don't care what color Obama's skin is. I care that he is ruining the country. If he were Betty white, I'd still want him out of office.
"....Your assignment is to count the white, Latino, Asian and black faces. Then calculate the mean, median and mode for the races and report back to me......"
I'm not sure how one might calculate the mean or the median of this data set, but I can see how the mode could be determined. Nonetheless, yins are on a real roll in this string - especially your 'Santorum Science Fair' quip.

Nyuck, nyuck - Another thing we have in common Joe.
Dearest Lone Ranger,
Weaponised marshmallows?
Freeze them in liquid nitrogen - better than Depleted Uranium for punching through Infidel body-armour.
You capitalised the 'O' in onion! Accordingly, giving you the benefit of the doubt, I assumed you were referring to a proper noun, "Onion". I'm glad I did! "The Onion" is very funny! Thank you.
When Jonathan Goode grows up, I'll be all over him like moss on a rolling stone! With men having a de facto higher centre of gravity, would it not then be easier to push them down the stairs and collect the insurance money? And since I have a low centre of gravity, it'll be easier for me to haul his dead arse off the landing and into the back garden for inhumation.
I am an extremely odious xenophobic bigot. I make standard racists look like choir boys - at least the ones not intubated by the clergy that is. I detest all Caucasoid, Negroid and most Mongoloid races. In fact, everyone who is not me is inferior. Not my fault - I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
AND I am not trying to be funny. I am deadly serious!
"....You may think that your funny, but let me assure you, you are not....."
Oh dear! Should you have written 'you're' instead of 'your' in the above?
AND according to the parentage tennets of Islam, the religion of a child is determined by the religion of the father. In Judaism, the religion of the child is determined by the religion of the mother. This is logical, as you could debate who the father is/was, but you cannot debate who the mother is/was.
President Obama's father was a Muslim. Therefore, whether the President is 'practising' or not, he is considered to be Muslim in the eyes of Islam. Don't shoot the messenger here, tthe above facts are not my fault!
You need not be so chivalrous deleting those who might disparage me. I can take care of myself. If anything, I'd feel sorry for those poor sailors who hazard to go a few rounds with me. They are to be protected - not me.
Maybe that is what you are doing? Deleting them for their own good?
Thank you. Though I prefer 'grandiloquent' or 'bombastic' if an adjectival modifier to describe my prose is deemed requisite.
Eric Blair possessed a keen intelligence and wit - as do I. He was blessed with a profound awareness of social injustice - I am not. Mr. Blair also fomented an intense opposition to totalitarianism - I am very much an adherent of totalitarianism, especially because it is octo-syllabic. Eric also had a passion for clarity in language - this I regard with extreme repugnance and abhorrent aversion. He wished to be understood by the many - I wish to be understood by the few. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers(1).
Looks like the kids had fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do for fun, Joe?
Ducky: I read your comments.
ReplyDeleteStrictly a Marxist pretending to be an American
ReplyDeleteYeah, a science fair is Marxist.
ReplyDeleteStrictly a Santorum voter pretending to be conscious.
Cute Schmucky!

Almost blew coffee.
Craig, did you catch this quote from L'il Ricky?
ReplyDelete“We went into a recession in 2008. People forget why. They thought it was a housing bubble. The housing bubble was caused because of a dramatic spike in energy prices that caused the housing bubble to burst,” Santorum told the audience. “People had to pay so much money to air condition and heat their homes or pay for gasoline that they couldn’t pay their mortgage.”
We are so far down the rabbit hole.
He's probably wondering how to weaponize marshmallows and launch them into Pakistan.

ReplyDeleteAquarius, your prose is stilted. Try reading Orwell to get it in shape.
