Alternative Retirement Plan:
After they complete their term in office, have them hospitalized incommunicado in a Mental Facility. Running for office is a guarrantee their sanity left long ago.

Agreed. But it’s their “culture,” Hambo.

@21; 11,000…30,000 So be it. Call me a low information anthropologist.

“ice age Europeans, and later, the Welsh, Vikings, Polynesians and Japanese also came to the America’s before Columbus.”

As far as I know, none of THEM got full of themselves and it, by invoking the erroneous term NATIVE-Americans.

@19: 11,000 years is so 1950′s. Now, it’s closer to 30,000 years and also ice age Europeans, and later, the Welsh, Vikings, Polynesians and Japanese also came to the America’s before Columbus.

perhaps we should refer to them as Subasians…

SubcontinAsians? SubcontinAsiaticals?

Ganeshomaniacs? Shivaphiles?

Here in the Free State of PIG, we never use ‘indians’, and we sneer at ‘Native Americans’

We follow Burt’s line of thinking and use Siberian-Americans.

SIBERIAN-AMERICANS, n.
The 3rd or 4th wave of pre-Columbian, New World immigrants, they crossed into North America from Siberia about 11,000 years ago, then pretended they were “always” here by calling themselves “Native Americans”. (See also: Indians)

I understand the hesitation of calling those folks from India Indians. Since they are residents of the Asian Subcontinent, perhaps we should refer to them as Subasians…or does that sound too much like a cyst?

Recently I attended a lecture about ancient Egypt. When the lector mentioned the Nubian kings who ruled over Egypt around 700 BC, she called them “African-Americans”.

@2 DamnCat: “I’m sure that when the history books are written these people will be proven wrong.”

….Only until they re-write those history books, too.

“Be vary wary of anyone who acts certain how history will turn out.”

Especially, when they have no understanding of world history. Coincidentally, the same people claim to be experts in global science, yet have no understanding of that, either.

But there’s still a 25% probability – in the future – that Frank will get tricky and fix it.

Normally I’d just go in an fix Frank’s typo, but you guys are already having too much fun with this.

As a rule-of-thumb, I try to stay within one standard deviation of wary.

Sue, there’s a 50% probability that “vary wary” will automatically transform itself in the future to “very wary.”

@5 – In my head, I hear it in Chekov’s accent: “wery wary”.

By: Sue

“Vary wary??” Is that how it’s said? Is it literal as in: one should vary his/her wary? Or does it mean to increase your ordinary wary like if you said “very wary.”

Be vary wary of anyone who acts certain how history will turn out.

Assuming they aren’t just an overconfident false intelectual, this is a good sign that they may actually be a dangerous time traveler. And it’s common knowledge that getting involved in time travel shenanigans is absolutely horrible for your health. The mortality rate for extras on Dr. Who is rapidly approaching red shirt territory.
