[Artoo]

I had to read Miss Alabama's comment 2 or 3 times to get my head around it...

OMG, yes, Bushisms alone... Volumes, bookcases, "libraries...."

"There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments."

--George W. Bush, speaking at a private fundraiser, Houston, Texas, July 18, 2008

"Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

--George W. Bush, in parting words to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy at his final G-8 Summit,
punching the air and grinning widely as the two leaders looked on in shock,
Rusutsu, Japan, July 10, 2008

Those are or will be two exceptionally entertaining "Presidential Libraries," or at least they will be once the planet recovers from the former in a decade or so...

If John Bartlett were alive he'd have thrown himself off the nearest bridge by 2002.

For the record, Mariah Carey never said that. It was disproven on Snopes.

Lauren Upton.Miss Teen USA pagent 2007.



When asked about the reason why some Americans could not locate the U.S. on a world map, Upton said:


"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."


"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment.It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

Former VP Dan Qualye.

Yogi Berra used to made statements like those all the time. Two of my favorites:

"If you don't know where you're going then you might not get there."

"If you don't go to a friend's funeral then he probably won't come to yours."

Good old Yogi.

He also said,talking about a popular restaurant:"It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore."

I love my Uncle John's Bathroom readers, they have pages of some of our "Greatest Thinkers" here is a sample of the many I found in the books:

"Ive been up and down so many times that I feel as if I'm in a revolving door"--Cher

"A zebra does not change its spots"--Al Gore

"This isn't a man who's leaving with his head between his legs"--Dan Quayle

"I don't think we learned a lesson. I think it was a learning experience for us"--Shaquille O'Neal

"If I'm androgynous, I'd say I lean toward macho-androgynous."--John Travolta

"There is no capital of Uruguay you dummy, its a country."--Lorenzo Lamas

"In an action film you act in the action, in a drama film you act in the drama"--Jean-Claude Van Damme

"You can hardly tell where the computer models finish and the real dinosaurs begin."--Laura Dern

"I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness."--Alicia Silverstone

MORE TO COME!!

Im gonna pick Dr. Greg Graffin * lead singer of Bad Religion and part time professor at UCLA*

a few quotes from songs hes written

"There's no such thing as hell
But you can make it if you try " - Prove It


"No progress ever came from war,
only a false sense of increase " - Atheist Peace



Striking at mental apparitions
Like a drunk on a vacant street
Silently beset by the hands of time
Indelicate in its fury
An aberrant crack as skeletons yield
To unrelenting gravity
While viruses prowl for helpless victims
Who succumb rapidly

(Tell me!) Tell me; where is the love?
In a careless creation
When there’s no “above”
There’s no justice
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I’m frightened of
Is that they call it “God’s love”

Twisted torment, make-believe
There’s a truth and we all submit
“Believe my eyes,” my brain complies
To all that they interpret

[Chorus]

I know there’s no reason for alarm
But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm
We can change our minds; there’s a better prize

But first you’ve got to…
[Chorus]

They call it God’s love
My pain is God’s love. - God's Love , cant pick just one quote because the entire song is is epic

I'm really not sure what this has to do with this thread.

 

[Musicroxmysox]

Me neither.

BD it's time to find you a new band to listen to. Remind me to add that to the list of things I'm supposed to do!

Anyway I love the Bush quotes, he's oh so smart (insert sarcastic laugh here.)

This is an impressive crowd — the haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elites; I call you my base.

* Speech at the Al Smith Dinner for charity (October 20, 2000), as quoted in "Bush And Gore Do New York" (CBS) (October 20, 2000); also in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

I happen to agree with this.
