mircea_popescu: "Obama is neither smart nor a noteworthy peace maker. But that doesn't matter. The left has won over the key voting boards to give him these now-plastic trophies."

<< notbad.

pete_dushenski: "Theorem 5: Jewish genetics cause superior intellect"
<< clearly, it's the converse that's true, funkenstein_ ;)
pete_dushenski: "The canonical example is that intelligence is correlated with foot size. It's a fact."
