God I hate the media
Ok so Kerry wasnt a great student at Yale but does he brag about it like Bush does, I dont think so. Anyhow if I were ever a president or a national political figure I would never brag about my medicore grades, in fact I am ashamed of my grades in high school, and I want to do better. I think the fact that Bush brags about his grades rather than his grades themselves should be what should be attacked if the issue is brought up, after all I thought the GOP cared about hard work and self reliance I guess that means if youre poor and stuff dont expect federal assistance but hey if youre rich, you can be pathetic academic wise and still get all the money you want. Stupid bastards. Rant over, so how is everyone, its burning out there!

2. and we won that series how?
and we're in first place how? Anyhow you should be laughing at the Yankees, I think youre better than them statistically almost, and you should be proud of yourselves, I think Detroit could be a force someday, though it will be hard this year with the Twins and White Sox, but I think they could get third. I am serious, I didnt like being swept but I have some respect for them, they got a good young pitching staff and yeah Dmitri Young and Rondell White scared the crap out of me, oh yeah and Monroe too.

4. Diebold HQ is more closer to Detriot than it is Baltimore
:tinfoilhat: explains the sweep, no? But seriously about the issue at hand, god what the hell is the media's fucking problem.

9. That pisses me off too
but hey its nice that its June 7th and we're still in first place and my prediction about the Yankees is proving to be true, btw I like how you guys are starting to respect us as legit competition for the prize, I noticed that in Boston last week watching the game, actually I noticed that while I was actually in Boston, for some reason, and I have a good idea why but I have never felt any hard feelings towards the Red Sox, like I hate it when they beat us of course, who wouldnt, but I admit it, Ive developed a soft spot for them having rooted for them in the past few ACLS' and I enjoyed the comeback last fall a lot.

8. Remember Mr.bush was involved in extra-curricular activities too.
The reason bush's grades were so low is he was busy cheerleading too. Kerry didn't have an excuse except he just wasn't very bright and didn't care. :sarcasm:

I hate the media too. Distract distract distract.

11. And, of course, because he's anti-America
and probably spent all of his free time planning un-American activities instead of studying. After all, we all know what a traitor Kerry is.


(I shouldn't have to do this, but, like you, I'll slap the :sarcasm: icon here lest anyone think I am serious.)

yeah I know, seriously though, if the party leaders go after Bush on this, dont go after his grades, but to after his bragging about it.
