Video:Presidential Intelligence

presidential intelligence

subject: presidential intelligence

a report published recently, the lovenstein institute of scranton, pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four month study of the intelligence quotient of president george w. bush. since 1973, the lovenstein institute has published its research to the educational community on each new president, which includes the famous "iq" report among others.

there have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from f.d. roosevelt to g.w. bush, who were rated based on scholarly achievements:

1. writings that they produced without aid of staff.
2. their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological
factors, which were then scored using the swanson/crain system of intelligence ranking.

the study determined the following iqs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points. in order by presidential term:

franklin delano roosevelt [d] 142,
harry s truman [d] 132,
dwight david eisenhower [r] 122
john fitzgerald kennedy [d] 174,
lyndon baines johnson [d] 126,
richard milhous nixon [r] 155,
gerald r. ford [r] 121,
james earle carter [d] 175,
ronald wilson reagan [r] 105
george herbert walker bush [r] 98,
william jefferson clinton [d] 182,
george walker bush [r] 91

in order of iq rating:

182 . . william jefferson clinton [d]
175 . . james earle carter [d]
174 . . john fitzgerald kennedy [d]
155 . . richard milhous nixon [r]
147 . . franklin delano roosevelt [d]
132 . . harry s t r uman [d]
126 . . lyndon baines johnson [d]
122 . . dwight david eisenhower [r]
121 . . gerald r. ford [r]
105 . . ronald wilson reagan [r]
098 . . george herbert walker bush [r]
091 . . george walker bush [r]

the six republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average iq of 115.5, with president nixon having the highest at 155.

president george w. bush rated the lowest of all the republicans with an iq of 91.

the six democratic presidents of the past 50 years had an average iq of 156, with president clinton having the highest iq, at 182.

president lyndon b. johnson was rated the lowest of all the democrats with an iq of 126. no president other than carter [d] has released his actual iq (176). note the institute measured him at 175.

among comments made concerning the specific testing of president g.w. bush, his low ratings are due to his apparently difficult command of the english language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary [6,500 words for bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents], his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic mba, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis the complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis.

"all the presidents prior to george w. bush had a least one book under their belt, and most had written several white papers during their education or early careers. not so with president bush," dr. lovenstein said.

"he has no published works or writings, which made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. we relied more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking."

the lovenstein institute of scranton, pennsylvania think tank includes high caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. among their ranks are dr. werner r. lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and professor patricia f.dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist for more information on the lovenstein institute, go to http://lovenstein.org// .

hm - the smartest president didn't know enough to keep his pants zipped and the dumbest one thinks he can run a war.

Video:The Presidential Candidates...9 Things About Them

the presidential candidates...9 things about them

1. mccain hates net neutrality
the record shows his position. whatever happens, we can not let this man get into the oval office. he hates everything we, as internet users, stand for. his ignorance to the value of a free internet makes him a dangerous man. he is the type to sign a bill banning the internet without knowing anything of the consequences except that he made some special interest group happy. if it is possible to do worse than bush, mccain is the man who can find out.

2. vegas has 3 to 1 odds on hillary
seriously. the bookies in vegas have calculated the odds and the crazy clinton chick is the favorite. it’s as if the entire circus was a horse race and not the greatest democracy in the world choosing its leader. i wonder if the betting windows will be open election night? even worse, i wonder what kind of sad, lonely soul reduces himself to betting on elections… that was before i started seriously considering it.

3. speaking of clintons…
since 1980, every single presidential election we have had has included either a bush or a clinton on the ticket. 2008 will make it 28 consecutive years this has happened. that means every american under 50 never had the chance to vote in an election without one of those two names present somewhere on the ballot. six out of seven times, whichever name it has ended up to be has won the election. the one exception is when clinton beat bush in 92, which is only really half an exception.

4. giuliani married his cousin
of course it was annulled... after at least five but not more than fourteen years. how long he was married to her and whether she is the second or third cousin is in dispute. however, none of that really matters. acts like this should disqualify a man from ever becoming president of the united states and leader of the free world. there should be little ban cards we hand out. “here, take this… you slept with your cousin; you can never be president.”

5. ron paul’s daughter is a gynecologist
ron paul was himself once a gynecologist. he has been to places most of us have only had nightmares about. he faced down the worst of vaginas and to this day his kids are keeping up the good fight. if we ever had a vaginal emergency in the white house and he was around, i’ll bet he saves the day.

6. obama is one of the greatest speakers in history
it is nearly impossible to hate barack obama. his speeches are borderline greatness. he is hands-down the most charismatic of the group. he may trail clinton in the polls now, but he is going to own her in the debates. (funny story; while writing this, i got a red line under the word “obama”. microsoft word insists i meant “osama”. coincidence, or hidden anti-obama propaganda? you decide…)

7. nader?
of course he is going to run. even if he hasn’t announced it; everyone can see it coming. he is, of course, also not going to win. just like guys who marry their cousins, guys who don’t comb their hair can’t be president. he does get a lot of young people to register to vote, which is a good thing… even if he can’t get any of them to off the couch and actually vote for him.

8. google hates john edwards
check out the google search for ”john edwards”. he gets three links before some other guy takes over the rest of the page. poor john. first he loses an election to a leader everyone hates then he loses half a google page to some guy who claims to talk to dead people. not to mention his wife has some kind of cancer. his luck is not good. if he did get elected the world would blow up the very next day.

9. al gore will not run against hillary
however, that doesn’t mean he is going to pass on this election all-together. hillary is going to need a running mate, and al has worked for the clinton's before. the two would make a powerhouse ticket the republicans would be short-handed to beat. al gore is pissed off he got robbed in 2000. count on him to begin taking his revenge by screwing the gop in 08.

Video:Russian Presidential Plane Gallery

russian presidential plane gallery

a collection of pictures from what is said to be the russian president vladimir putin’s private jet. they were originally posted by someone nicknamed “hectop” and later linked to a blog. after the pictures were released it was said that russian special services showed interest in the blog that posted them. the plane is an ilyushin 96-300 and was refurbished in 2001 by diamonite aircraft furnishings ltd, a firm based in bristol in the united kingdom. the only link to the pictures from the firm is a preliminary drawing that looks an awful lot like the conference room of the leaked pictures. the cost of the refurbishing was said to be in the millions. as one can guess, this is all here-say and the information has yet to be verified, for obvious reasons. thanks to mitsulancer for the pictures.

after cleaning up he said, "boys, you saved the president of the united states today. you deserve a reward. you name it, i`ll give it to you."

the first boy said, "please, i`d like a ticket to disneyland!"

"i`ll personally hand it to you," said mr. president.

"i`d like a pair of nike air turbos," the second boy said.

"i`ll buy them myself and give them to you," said the grateful president.

"and i`d like a wheelchair with a stereo in it," said the third boy.

"i`ll personally ... wait a second, son, you`re not handicapped!"

"no -- but i will be when my dad finds out i saved you from drowning."
