Guest diggity Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 This was forwarded to me in an email, normally i dont read anything thats forwarded but my girl sent it and she had "approved it" anyways i found it interesting. The next time you hear a politician use the words "billion" casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases: A billion seconds ago, it was 1959 A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive. A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it. The Democrats are complaining on how long the war is taking but consider this: It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation. It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it took HillaryClinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records. It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick. It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation. ^ Because she wasn't going to kill American citizens on american soil without a huge uproar. Iraq is far enough away to hide certain 'facts'. It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida. ^ again no one cared about dead Iraqis but everyone seemed to care about a bunch of old jewish retirees who 'voted' for Pat Buchhanan (sp) It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick. ^ Because a) he's a drunk and B) the kennedy clan has their own way of dealing with problems.
