New poll... total f'ing morons....

Hi-fucking-larious! From: http://www.udargo.com/mub/2006/05/bush_losing_core_supporters.html

Bush Losing Core Supporters

WASHINGTON  - President Bush appears to be losing support among a key group
of voters who had hitherto stood firmly with the president even as his poll
numbers among other groups fell dramatically.

A new Gallup poll shows that, for the first time, Bush's approval rating has
fallen below 50% among total fucking morons, and now stands at 44%. This
represents a dramatic drop compared to a poll taken just last December, when
62% of total fucking morons expressed support for the president and his
policies.

The current poll, conducted by phone with 1,409 total fucking morons between
May 4 and May 8, reveals that only 44% of those polled believe the president
is doing a good job, while 27% believe he is doing a poor job and 29% don't
understand the question.


The December poll, conducted by phone with 1,530 total fucking morons,
showed 62% approved of the president, 7% disapproved and 31% didn't
understand the question.

Faltering approval ratings for the president among a group once thought to
be a reliable source of loyal support gives Republicans one more reason to
be nervous about the upcoming mid-term elections. "If we can't depend on the
support of total fucking morons," says Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), "then we've
got a big problem. They're a key factor in our electoral strategy, and an
important part of today's Republican coalition."

"We've taken the total fucking moron vote for granted," says Rep. Tom Feeney
(R-FL), "and now we're paying for it. We've let the Democrats control the
debate lately, and they've dragged discourse back into the realm of complex,
nuanced issues. So your average total fucking moron turns on his TV and sees
his Republican Congressman arguing about Constitutional law or the
complexities of state formation in the Middle East, and he tunes out. He
wants to hear comforting, pandering, flattering bromides and he doesn't want
to hear a logical argument more complex than what you'd find on a bumper
sticker."

9. Behind the times
Ted is a little behind the times. Perhaps he should stop blowing into his modem.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamson_tube

Pneumatic tubes, also known as capsule pipelines, are systems in which cylindrical containers are propelled through a network of tubes by compressed air or by vacuum. They are used for transporting physical objects.

--snip--

History

Pneumatics can be traced back to Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century AD. The Victorians used capsule pipelines to transmit telegraph messages, or telegrams, to nearby buildings from telegraph stations.

While they are commonly used for small parcels and documents - now most often used at your typical neighborhood bank - they were originally proposed in the early 1800s for transport of heavy freight. It was once envisioned that massive networks of these tubes might be used to transport people.

Pneumatic post or pneumatic mail is a system to deliver letters through pressurized air tubes. It was invented by the Scottish engineer William Murdoch in the 1800's and was later developed by the London Pneumatic Dispatch Company. Pneumatic post systems were used in several large cities starting in the second half of the 19th century, but were largely abandoned during the 20th century.
