    To study cow burps? $5 Mil for an FAA party? I read the link - it' absolutely sickening. NIH (National Health Institute) is one of the biggest $ wasters, but it just continues yr after yr after yr........

    I remember when Obama was campaigning, "I PROMISE YOU NO MORE EAR MARKS!" Riiiight! Another bald faced lie....... that's what Obama excells at - lying......

    True, that one was very funny. I wasnt trying to poke fun at just one party, they all make stupid comments. Although I give the stupid award to Bachman on her John Quincy Adams comment. It is one thing if a candidate misspeaks or has a slip of the tongue but it is a whole other thing when they open their mouths and make comments showing ignorance on a subject. Again, Democrats and Republicans do this in equal amounts but the Republican primaries have given us some good ones.

    That one is a real doozy, but the other real jaw-dropper is when he said the US Constitution was written 2,000 yrs ago........ this came out of the mouth of a Harvard grad/constitutional lawyer and the libs didn't blink an eye....
