Hey . . . Curtis brought teepees, not houses, to the GOP ticket.

Let's remember that according to the official Soviet Encyclopedia, television was invented by a Soviet--just in time for FDR to make use of it. As governor of New York.

Biden said "television" instead of "radio?" We'll have to add that to the famous bloopers list, along with GW Bush saying,
"I know how hard it is to put food on your family,"
"They misunderestimated me,"
"I understand that the unrest in the Middle East creates unrest throughout the region,"
and one of my favorites,
"And so, in my State of the - my State of the Union - or state - my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation - I asked Americans to give 4,000 years - 4,000 hours over the next - the rest of your life - of service to America. That's what I asked - 4,000 hours."

Dear A2...so did you? Or just keep on whining?

Dan Quayle was handed a flash card with potato spelled wrong on it. He did what any of us would have done -- assumed that he'd been mistaken and that the flash card was right. And for the rest of his life he was branded as an illiterate -- for having TRUSTED A TEACHER and the PROFESSIONALLY PREPARED MATERIALS she supplied him with!

Whereas Biden can't open his mouth without something stupid coming out, and can't shut it again without biting in half another stupid thing that was trying to escape.

I get the biggest chuckle out of a little noticed aspect of this.

Joe Biden's words, directly preceding his gaffe:""Part of what being a leader does is to instill confidence, is to demonstrate that he or she knows what they are talking about and to communicating to people ... this is how we can fix this," Biden said.

I find it amusing that Anonymous Two doesn't recognize what Biden's gaffe actually was.

(Hint: It's not the technology. It's who was using it.)

Why, you're right, he worded it badly there too!
Instead of "when" the stock market crashed, he should have said, "in the depths of the Depression following the stock market crash of 1929."

The Whitehouse.gov describes FDR's actions this way:
"He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority."

I have to admit I got so caught up with your television picture that I paid no attention to the year that this famous Democrat saved the nation.

Go back and re-read the economic numbers. The Great Depression only really ended with the onset of WWII.

Could you clarify in which year it was that FDR saved the nation? In which year would that be?

1932 FDR's Great Depression?
1933 FDR's Great Depression?
1934 FDR's Great Depression?
1935 FDR's Great Depression?
1936 FDR's Great Depression?
1937 FDR's Great Depression?
1938 FDR's Great Depression?
1939 FDR's Great Depression?
1940 War economy raises employment, GDP.?

Is that your final answer?

The fun thing would be to go back and ask your parents from "The Greatest Generation" whether FDR helped the nation.

My grandparents weren't big fans.
