IQ over a hundred. It matters in a President. You get a dull normal like
Bush in there and he's going to fuck things up.

News flash.
Perry had a secret. He rarely doctored the ball. Sometimes he did. But his
power over the hitter was that the hitter 'thought' he was doing something
weird.
Anytime an ump came out and checked his cap, glove, belt, hair, etc, that
was power for Perry.
He'd go to his cap, he'd go to his belt, ...he was just getting into their
heads.
He cheated just enough to make the hitter wonder.
He used that doubt to his advantage. 315 wins.
Guys would go back to the dugout and tell the rest of the hitters that
Perry's ball was 'cutting and diving'. It was a game.
I got that info from a very well known ( 12 years ) ex- MLB pitcher who's
currently a well known pitching coach. < My son's pitching coach too >
He said Perry was the master of making hitters wonder.

You know William, there really should be a test. Name all 50 states, stuff
like that. And also the major foreign states, prime ministers and/or
presidents, the major global hotspots and the various factions involved,
etc. That should enable us to weed out the idiots. Especially if we check
for wireless earpieces like the one Bush uses.

I saw an old speech of Clinton's a few weeks ago. The difference between
him and Bush is striking. Clinton speaks in paragraphs, he's articulate,
he understands how to develop a theme. Not only does he know how to talk,
he understands what he's talking about. Bush on the other hand is an
embarrassment to the office of the President. He can't pronounce words
with more than two syllables. He's just awful. How can anyone stand to
listen to him?

Of course the name existed before Bush. And then he and his cronies fucked
it up. That would be the basic point.

Under the Bush administration it was.

1) The Bush administration folded FEMA into the Department of Homeland
Security. You did know that, right? Basic fact: In Washington as with
everywhere else, if you have don't have control over the budget you don't
have any real power.

2) FEMA was further stripped of influence by installing a former horse
association president (of all things) as its leader. When Brown testified
about the Katrina debacle he said he couldn't get the time of day out of
the DHS. I believe him. That was the whole point of hiring him.

As with the Presidency, FEMA wasn't always a lame duck. In 1993 President
Clinton elevated FEMA to cabinet status and installed James Lee Witt as
its Director, someone with actual emergency management experience. So
unlike Bush, Clinton 1) gave the department control of its budget, 2) put
someone competent in charge.

I guess you just blocked all that out.
