Barfing from Jeb Sickness
« on: November 16, 2015, 04:47:15 PM »
Jeb has a commercial out (Yeah, okay, all "Paid for by some damn' PAC" disclaimer) with a suspense-inducing musical background, talking about how he should be Prez because he was governor of Florida as if he was the only successful governor to ever run (Mitt somebody-or-other, for instance).  But the part that really makes me want to launch a Technicolor yawn is his line "Children started to learn."

Granted, it would explain a lot about Florida if it was true that children did not learn anything until he became governor, which means they probably stopped after that as well.  But it's such an over-the-top malaprop that it just makes me want to hurl every time I hear it, which is WAAAYYYY too often.

Be comforted, Tanker, it's the death throes of his campaign you are witnessing - he'll expire soon.

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
