One letter away from a Slander Lawsuit...

I like how the White House won't comment about this.

There's nothing slanderous here. But it is an interesting case of perception versus reality. Little chance of this campaign happening if Kerry had been elected, and his IQ is lower than Bush's (although both are well above average.)

Kerry's IQ is lower than Bush's? And Bush's is above average? Can you give us the numbers please? Are we talking 102 and 101 or something?

slander is oral -
there is nothing spoken here;
it's more like libel.

In a telling display of Lakehead's reputation and enrollment numbers, none of the posters actually use the instituion's name....

(ah, apparenlty one does. I have only seen the other).

this is a no-brainer.

Pointless information: Paul Shaffer is from Thunder Bay, ON.

I would think the whole "YaleShmale" thing would have a "c" in it and be correctly spelled "YaleSchmale." Unless I'm mistaken, the whole "schm" <as in Plans/Schmlans, etc> thing originated from Yiddish humor. Fucking irony about the whole "we're smarter" stance. I guess they're not interested in impressing any Jews.

They could have used the same rhyme if Kerry had won....

Estimated to 123 vs. 120 (both of which are higher than JFK at 117 but less than Gore at 130-something.)

Also, if it means anything to you, Bush's grades at Yale were slightly higher than Kerry's at Yale - and much higher than Gore's at Harvard. I happen to think that means basically nothing, but FYI.

Since when has IQ, integrity, an honesty ever won an election? Shit, not in my lifetime. It's all been about who has the most dirt on their opponent - or who comes across as more sincere. If ANY of them had integrity or morals, there would be no more smear campaigns.

Speaking of high IQs, when does that Dan Quayle correspondence course start?

they should just offer free beer to students who enroll

nobody goes to a university to learn anymore, they go for that "college experience."

They can't. They're already offering a chance to win a 4 year lease of a "Smart car" and 4 Sony PSPs. I guess there's only so much money in this year's Gimmick Budget.

Or in this case - a small college experience in a remote location. You can't get that anywhere else.

Thunder Bay is actually a cool fucking city. i loved it there. HOWEVER, my tour of the campus actually left me dumber than i was when i arrived. they say "eh" far too much, even for a bunch of Canadians.

and finnish is the weirdest language ever. i hate it. it's a useless language and it makes me angry

Much appreciated irony!

.......but the "College Experience" is pretty valid, I think - I learned the finer points of sexual experience in the dorms, how to gamble, get to know my buses dearly (a much needed mode of transportation, took acid trips - all that ANIMAL HOUSE stuff.

AND got to meets the BBF, loved authors, some great filmmakers, and saw movies - some great, some awful, but for FREE!!

Speaking of which, I wonder Bush's fave movie list is.
