all good points - "what a Country!" (Yakov Smirnoff)
and yet, another matter to ponder:
You may be aware that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states.
And everybody chalked it up to, 'Well, he's tired.'
Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells 'potato' decades ago and we still hear jokes about it.
Barack Obama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many places and so many countries, he probably thinks there are 57 states.
Well, according to a web site from the International Humanist and Ethical Union:
'Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United Nations Commission on human rights called commbating.'
Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states. There are 57 Islamic states.
So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip?
