From an outside poll asking: "What could be dumber than that idea of burning the Koran?"... Seems like there could be a few things! Like electing Sarah Palin president. What can DU come up with to top it? Original poll at: http://www.pledge-drive.com/lesterandcharliesurvey.html

1. Just to get the ball rolling... |
|
I'd say electing George W. Bush twice was probably a lot dumber in the long run.

2004 is a bit up in the air, depending on who you ask... fishy but probably still pretty solid, I'd say. Bad voting machines plus hugely differing exit polls, that's suspicious, and the voting machine requirement was a disenfranchising factor for poorer neighborhoods. 2000, there's little question about it... when the Supreme Court overturns elections and decides the leadership against the actual vote, that's called a judicial coup. And considering the entire Bush admin's ties to the military industrial complex and PNAC, it's not too far out to actually call it a military coup.

2. Here is a little something. |

A proof.
Another accomplishment, if correlations can be found beyond coincidence, and yet other correlations that should occur can not be found.
Then you prove a couple things.
First you prove that information sources are inaccurate. Second you prove them unjust.
From that proof you are then allowed to correct issues with other means.
In other words, by having shown that correlations can be created, from many different things, yet also showing that just correlations have not occurred.
Then what is presumed to exist can be shown to be a distortion for other reasons, and can be removed.
They will pay, one way or another, they will pay.
:hi: Joe Lieberman, hows it working out for you?

My '73 Chevy Van with an 8 track defined smooth when I got out of high school. It had a "If this van is rockin' don't come a knockin" bumper sticker and everything. We load up on beer and the odd nickel bag and head for the beach... Good times at seventeen....

20. I put a QUAD 8 track in my car |

The only song it really did justice to was Quincy Jones' "Soul Saga" (The Song of the Buffalo Soldier)--and it was almost worth it, just for that.

26. No, I missed that fad |

I was having too much fun playing my big brother's 45's ("Great Big Idol With the Golden Head," "Charge," The Belmonts, lots of early R&R that I can't remember now).
We had the dance shows on TV (Dick Clark, et. al.) and R&R on FM radio with Wolfman Jack and 'boss jocks' like KRLA's Bob Eubanks (whom I met at my dentist's office once).

I would guess those who made small and large fortunes from the effects of the invasion are quite satisfied with that idea. I doubt those who shared in the $8,000,000,000.00 pallet of American Dollars that "disappeared" in Iraq are thinking it was a dumb idea, for example. No doubt fine homes and resorts around the world are filled with disgusting pigs who know it was a great idea.
