Blake:

After some detective work, it seems that the quotes is somewhat of a fake. In 1993 however, Bill did make several disparaging remarks in various talks about the internet, which is probably the source of that made up quote. However, I was working for a high tech company at that time and in 1993, the Mosaic had just come out and there really wasn't much "internet" to speak of... ftp sites were still king at that time. ; )

I don't understand why people get offended by quotes of dumb comments by politicians.

GW has some of the best.

If we cannot in good humor laugh at ourselves or those we support politically it is a real shame.

I listened to a couple hours of the Health Care Summit today.

We deserve better leaders.

I was amazed that for the last year folks have been telling me about billions of dollars of fraud that occurs monthly . . but in all the months they've been wrangling they've done nothing, nada, zero, ziltch to prevent one bit of it. I'm not sure we need pass anything to stop waste and fraud.

These guys, and it's obvious why the Big O is their leader, are laughably incompetent.

Not sure how you got no politicians out of this.

OK SO here's the rules. Lets get some good WTF quotes. How about we keep current politicians out of it. Maybe this way it will stay Fun to clarify Bush Clinton fine. Obama Palin(I'm aware shes not a politician right now but shes still off limits) not fine.



Beyond that my video didn't even have a politician in it. Grow some skin man.

Over & over I hear the "57 states" line.
Ok, if you want to call it a Fraudian slip, there are 57 islamic states....

Look up the video. Obama told a JOKE! Not bad either, may be the funniest line I've ever heard from him. The spooky part is his crowd mostly didn't get it. ( that doesn't mean I agree with most of the Prez's ideas, but come on! It's just as B.S to say "bush lied people died" as to say obama don't know how many states there are... )

Nothing interests me. That is to say, nothing interests me a great deal. nothing..... the opposite of something. Who's to say that nothing has no value, thats absurd, nothing is surely of value. Lets take nothing.....it has a very close proximity to something, it has boundaries, it ocupies space, it makes the difference between something and ....well ....nothing. Something would have no value if everything was something, as it would be too abundant(something) and simply worthless, everybody would have it, and consequently there would be no need for something, ultimatly it would bore you. Think about nothing..... it is colorless, tasteless invisable yet it is one of the most powerfull enteties in the universe, without it I believe everything might just be solid....solid something with no space in between, therefore its imperative that nothing exist so that there can be space to ocupy. Nothing has been taken far too lightly untill recently, even Stephen Hawking likes nothing....or rather the properties of nothing. nothing explains very well the mechanics of quantum physics, infact I believe nothing will be the new renasance in physics and our understanding. well in closing, "nothing from nothing leaves nothing, and you got'a have nothing, if you wan'a dance with me..........
