When my son was 4 years old and playing with Spyro the Dragon video games, he quickly selected the right answer from some riddle questions... Adults seeing that and the riddles were in English were in total awe - because they were not able to even figure out the riddle... hehe, but of course he had memorized the correct choice, and could not read - no less English... It made me crack up, though - how gullible they could be.
When I ran for Congress my complete transcripts and scores WERE provided to the media. Lotta good it did.... Actually during a City Council race the Chicago Tribune snuck in a line that I was a "smart candidate" as they endorsed my opponent.
Speaking of daffy, the pre-election predictions of mayoral challenger William "Dock" Walls that he would win in a landslide made him look either severely delusional or chronically dishonest. Even when you are going to win in a landslide, the smart candidate expresses optimism and maybe even confidence while reminding voters to take nothing for granted and get to the polls. "We're victorious in lots of ways," Walls told supporters after winning just 9 percent of the vote. Yeah? Name one. Walls achieved nothing in this race aside from assuring that the more plausible anti-Daley candidate, Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown, would have no chance of turning it into a real race. ???
ROFL. I know Wells. We had lunch together a few years back. He's a Jesse Jackson acolyte. Not me. Dock is several shades darker than moi. Edit: I just Goggled. Nothing. So I went to the Trib site. Funny how flawed these search engines can be. I put "My Name" (haha not my real name) in quotes and my name yielded a few hits but NOT the "smart" mention. I then searched unquoted Name, smart and the listing of the article comes up. Weird shit. In any case, pay per view.
Yeah, I am pretty good at finding "anything" if it's out there... I came up short this time, just to chime in that there really is nothing to link... hehe I guess I could look more into refining "chicago for-congress McCain-Feingold 2004" as a search... ah, but no...
This was my FAVORITE press in the Congressional. Pabst's Reactionary Army speaks.... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1230095/posts#comment
Hehe, a bit too consequentialist for my taste, and a step away from the containment realism of Reagan.
