The Presidents accomplishments?

the bush legacy?


EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:





路 LAW ENFORCEMENT: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been lost" and is not available.








MILITARY: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.


COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was a cheerleader.


PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:





I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.


I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.


I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.


With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.


ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:





I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.


During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.


I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.


I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American history.


With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.


ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:





I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.


I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.


I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.


I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.


I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.


I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.


In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs and that figure has risen to over 3 million lost jobs by the end of 2003.


I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history.


My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.


I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. President.


I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.


My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history, Enron.


My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.


I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.


I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.


I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.


I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.


I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any President in U.S. history.


I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.


I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.


I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.


I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.


I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war" detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.


I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).


I set the record for fewest number of press conferences of any President since the advent of television.


I set the the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.


After taking off the entire month of August, 2001, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history.


I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.


I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind.


I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.


I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families -- in war time.


In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.


I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.


I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.


I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.


RECORDS AND REFERENCES:





All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.


All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.


All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review|||I think its great that you gave us this info, but just when things start looking up for my family I am reminded of the waste our country has made making this man our president once again. Thank you though for your comments. Alot of that I did not know and will have to research.|||Do you feel better now? I'm glad, because all you are doing is wasting your own time on something that you can't change and just spewing hatred causes more problems in the country than finding a way to make things better.|||No argument here.|||Bush? Accomplishments? Those are two words I would never put together!!!|||It's cool if you want to criticize the President. I'm not too fond of him either. But this thing has been all over the place. Find something a little more original.|||Tough as Hell, huh?





When you get out of diapers come and meet me and my cats - we'll have fun, I promise!|||yeah, nice president you have (i would never vote for such a person as the president of my country).|||Truth sure is painful at times,huh!|||He didn't spew hatred he copied and pasted just a few of the things our wonderfull dictator has done.|||Sorry slick, that's a statement, not a question. Get a soap box to use as your media, i will stand and listen then.





Respectfully,


Tom|||Nice job, but that's not a question.|||Do you think any people read that? The only ones who did are the Bush haters. You are wasting your time if you think you will get satisfaction out of arguing with us.|||I don't agree that this is spewing hatred. It's stating facts. It's one way of trying to make things better by bringing the truth to light so that maybe someone like this won't end up in the White House again. But, as H.L. Mencken once said, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."|||What's your question? Ya.. thought so..like most democrats you don't have one..or a point.


Oh..BTW..do a little research on the net and you can compile a really bad looking bio on just about anyone that's a public figure.


So..all your cutting and pasting has done nothing but keep you away from your kiddie porn sites.


Oh Bookish..here's another quote...


"Many condemned Mencken as a racist and an anti-Semite"


Next time you wanna quote someone to forward your liberal agenda..pick someone that's not a Klansman. Just a tip.|||Wow, nice of you to join us Michael Moore.


Maybe you should do a documentary on how bad President Bush is.|||Standard government work. Find what's wrong and unable to come up with a fix. Now you can run for president! Check the dictionary for the word question and explain how what you wrote is a question. Make sure to check with your advisers before writing anything else on this subject.|||We only have two more years of him, and I hope we survive them. Republicans are going to lose their butts in the midterm elections because of him. And the ONLY one who has been holding him back is a Republican Senator called Arlen Spectre. I voted for that man, and I am glad of that vote.





So, Dem's, you regain congress, what the hell you going to do? You got a plan, or is it all "I hate Bush". Hell we all do at this point. So, what is your party platform at this point? You sure as hell are NOT communicating it.





-Dio|||Amen!AAAA++++|||If you hate him so much, why don't you go to Cuba and see how you like it there? Or maybe Afghanistan or North Korea. You can also try China. Iran is pretty nice. So is Saudi Arabia. I'm sure all of those countries leaders are outstanding gentlemen working hard for world peace and have no personal agendas. You will be very free to express your opinion there.|||I love these diatribes, and I would love to spend the time debunking the lion's share of what you posted, but frankly I just don't feel like wasting my breath on the chronically disenchanted. I hope the Dems do win the mid term. I haven't heard many Democrats in Congress that have anything but hate rhetoric to offer. Without a plan they will hold power for roughly 2 years and people will once again remember why they voted the Dems out in the first place. In short, get over it, get positive about America and the future, or continue to doom yourself to further obscurity. Moderates in the country do not hold the extremist viewpoint of either the left or right wings, most do not feel the overwhelming hatred of the left wing and the media, and most are just sick of it in general. If the Democrats continue to ignore this truth, it will be at their own political peril because as the moderates go, so goes the leadership of the country. Times have changed, the left wing does not possess control over the flow of information any longer in this country.|||I'll answer this question with another: Why all the complacency in this nation?

Help from Usain Bolt fans?

Usain Bolt is the current world record holder for the 100 meter and 200 meter sprints.


What if he could maintain the same speed from the 100 meter dash throughout an entire mile?


Using 1600 meters as one mile, calculate


a. Usain Bolt鈥檚 mile time, and


b. The difference in time between the imaginary Usain Bolt mile time and the actual world record.





His time for the 100 meter is 9.58 seconds (im pretty sure)





Thanks|||so multiply his 100m time by 16 to get his estimated 1600M time





then subtract this from the actual world record time (go google it) to find the difference

mankind.

I've made my presidency the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history.


Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (The 'poorest' multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).


I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud in any market in any country in the history of the world.


I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the world community.

I am the first president in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the Elections Monitoring Board.


I removed more checks and balances, and have the least amount of congressional oversight than any presidential administration in US history.


I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant.


I withdrew from the World Court of Law.


I refused to allow inspectors access to US prisoners of war and by default no longer abide by the Geneva Conventions.


I am the first president in US history to refuse United Nations election inspectors access during the 2002 US elections.


I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations.


The biggest lifetime contributor to my campaign, who is also one of my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation).


I spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in US history.


I am the first president to run and hide when the US came under attack (and then lied, saying the enemy had the code to Air Force 1)


I am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government.


I took the world's sympathy for the US after 911, and in less than a year made the US the most resented country in the world (possibly the biggest diplomatic failure in US and world history).

I fired federal attorneys for political reasons and did not inform the Senate.


I have not fully made enough armor both for vehicles and body armor for US military in Iraq.





RECORDS AND REFERENCES:


I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available).





I was AWOL from the National Guard and deserted the military during a time of war. I refuse to take a drug test or even answer any questions about drug use.

All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.





All minutes of meetings of any public corporation for which I served on the board are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.





Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP) attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.





Bush also went AWOL...and had his hand in the demolition of the WTC.





Bush referred to the US Constitution as a God damn piece of paper.





He was wrong about WMD. That got the US into a war with Iraq. The UN said there were no weapons and we still went to war anyway. At least Colin Powell did the right thing and resigned. Too bad Bush doesn't have Powell's intregrity





His initial response to hurricane katrina was horrible.





The "no one left behind" idea is terrible: dumb down education so children look smarter without learning what they should.





The patriot act violates the bill of rights. How can we talk about the freedom of democracy here in the US when the government keeps taking away those freedoms?





His tax cuts did not go to those at the bottom of the income bracket.





He raised interest rates for those taking loans to go to college.





Abstinence taught for sex education does not work. Safe sex should also be taught in school as well.





He talked about border protection and sealing off America from Mexico, then gives the Saudis (i think it was them) control over offshipping cargo on our coast. I thought we were supposed to be protecting our borders, not selling that right off to the highest bidder!





His environmental policy is not helping reduce global warming. His solution is clean-burning coal! That will never happen!|||Hmm, I bet that this long list could be continued almost endlessly!





The distraction from the topic that someone else brought up by mentioning Jimmy Carter's performance is just a distraction, and nothing but a distraction, from the issue. One has nothing to do with the other. This is not an issue of party evaluation, it's a question about George W. Bush and his performance, and yes, he is the worst President since WW II. He is the ranch vacation sabre-rattler president. Even the pro-US portion of the world has lost a lot of the respect for us as a nation.





Good thing that this spook will be over "soon", unfortunately not fast enough! I am a conservative, but that president is ... there is absolutely no word strong enough that I could think of ...|||well.. i can't say i don't miss him right now

Report Abuse


|||no, he also has some disadvantages. because he is not god.|||Well,, now that you put it that way,, hell yeah,, he is the best ever.. Wooo-Hooo.....





and all this time I had thought he was just a goob|||Boy, Keep that nonsense up and people will start to think you've been brainwashed!!!!!!!!!!!!





Let me guess, you are really George W. Bush, on here asking questions just to see what the everyday person thinks of you.


Well George, looks to me like, you ain't doing too good, huh?|||HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!鈥?br>

HES THE WORSEST ONE!!!!!|||GOOOOO BUSHYYYY!!!!|||He's da bomb


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuniKsBxZ鈥?/a>|||best ever? at what making the ppl in our county look dumb? or just the best *** we ever let run this country|||Well at least there is gas. Under Jimmy Carter people lined up for blocks to buy gas because of a "gas shortage" (yuk,yuk). Jimmy also gave us 22% mortgage interest rates and....crap I'm not gonna type all that. I am a republican and agree Bush has not done well, but don't you demmies think you're any better.|||Well... uh... no... nice guy, but... well, not quite the best... in fact... uh... the worst... the very worst... even worse than that... in fact so bad, that if he can't be forced to resign, and I mean tomorrow, he should be removed... impeached... and I mean tomorrow... and sent back to Texas where he can chop bushes on his big ranch - now that's a job he'd be good at, though he would probably prefer leaving that to some "hired hands" while he rides his bicycle and pretends he's a cowboy on a horse like John Wayne or Ronald Reagan.

Do think I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a skin disease where skin may get stretchy. The most common area to get that is in the chest and neck. My skin can stretch from around 5-6 cm and Im only 12. The world record holder is 15 cm and he's around a young adult. So please, im wondering if I have it or not. Also, don't tell me to go see a doctor to get me diagnosed, I want to know what you think.|||Hey, my mum has Ehleres-Danlos Syndrome. I'm no expert on the condition but I'll tell you a little about her symptoms then maybe you can draw parallels and come to your own conclusion.





She does have elastic skin, though it isn't too excessive. What is more apparent is that the skin on the back of her hands feels very thin. She also bruises easily and her skin doesn't heal too well which often complicates surgical procedures.





She is very hypermobile too. Her arms almost look like they are broken when she fully extends them and her knees dislocate and cause her excruciating pain on a regular basis. She has recently had knee replacement surgery, though, it doesn't look like it's been successful , but only time will tell. This was a concern the surgeon had previous to the operation on account of her suffering Ehlers-Danlos but we didn't have any other option.





Those are the main things. I hope you find them useful.

Which US president is the?

all-time U.S. (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations?|||Strange how a simple question can be the magical rendezvous for people that do not search urban legends.





I'll take GW Bush for $200M Alex





Go big Red Go|||clinton|||clinton|||bush|||Clinton was a President of the people. Bush is a President of the corporate world. the easy answer to your question is Bush.|||DUH-BHUYA..... the criminal puppet.|||All of the Above that named Clinton are...CORRECT!


And yet no one mentioned Loral Electronics, selling missile guidance technology to China, betraying national security for a buck.


How did Gore put it! No authorized controlling authority.|||For laughs calling Dictator Dumbya "president", although NEVER elected, it has GOT to be he.|||Bush of course. He accepts loads of cash every day from his friends in Saudi Arabia.|||bill clinton. all from trial lawyers and ofcourse the red chineese for secret illegal arm deals

Average momentum during a race...?

Maurice Green is the current world record holder at 100m-dash with 9.72 seconds. He weighs 140 lbs. What is this average momentum during the race?|||Convert his weight to kilograms:


140 lb = 63.5 kg





p = m*v = m*(d/t) = (63.5)*(100)/(9.72) = 653 kg*m/s|||First, compute for the velocity:


V = d/t


V = 100 m / 9.72 s


V = 10.29 m/s





Now, compute for the momentum:


P = mv


P = 63.64 kg * 10.29 m/s the mass should be in kg, so you must divide 140 lbs. by 2.2





P = 654.86 kg(m/s)|||just convert the weight to mass, then find the velocity by 100/9.72 and multiply the mass and velocity for your answer...aka p=mv

Ok so rubik's cube people, what is the deal here?

if there isnt one big algorithm to solve the whole thing at once, how can anyone possibly solve it in seconds like all thos world record holders?? i can do it in like 2 minutes at fastest|||Simple... they turn it fast, and use less looks. The fridrich method uses seven looks at most. Using 52 moves on average, people will use 4.5 moves per second. They use a lot of intuition, but when they go through all of the cases (for each step, not for the whole cube) then they get so used to it that they will always solve it quickly.|||ok, these are the steps of the advanced method that most of the speedcubers use (like me) ... called the Fridrich Method





1. cross


you probably know this step and it done by the best in about 1-3 seconds, this vid shows how to get the cross really fast - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY_FbpdNR鈥?/a> ... i think i already gave you that link in your other Q, whatever





2. F2L


this is getting the first 2 layers of the cube all finished (there are 3 layers on a cube) ... you group up 2 pieces at a time and insert them into the slots next to the cross, hard to explain, just search a vid on that ... this is usually done in 6 or more seconds by the best, not me





3. OLL


now you are on the last layer (3 layers on a cube) ... ok, pretend you got your cross on white, you would be looking at the yellow side in this part ...

RESUME OF GEORGE BUSH





1600 Pennsylvania Avenue


Washington , DC 20520





EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:





LAW ENFORCEMENT





I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under


the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my


driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.





MILITARY





I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to


take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By


joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.





COLLEGE


I graduated from Yale University with a low C average.


I was a cheerleader.





PAST WORK EXPERIENCE





I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.





I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas, in 1975.


I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas . The


company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.


I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.


With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry,


including Enron CEO Ken Lay, I was elected governor of Texas.





ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS





I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies,


making Texas the most polluted state in the Union.


During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most


smog-ridden city in America.


I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.


I set the record for the most executions by any governor in


American history.


With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my


father's appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.





ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT





I am the first President in U.S. history to enter office with a


criminal record.


I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over


one billion dollars per week.


I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S.


Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in


U.S. history.


I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in


any 12-month period.


I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.


I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of


the US stock market.


In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their


jobs and that trend continues every month.


I'm proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any


administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza


Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.


I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S.


President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for


receiving the most corporate campaign donations.





My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best


friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. History, Enron.


My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys


to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.


I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against


investigation or prosecution.


More time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.


I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and


refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.


I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.


I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded


government contracts.


I appointed more convicted criminals to administration than any


President in U.S. history.


I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest


bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.


I've broken more international treaties than any President in U.S. history.


I am the first President in U.S. history to have the United Nations


remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.


I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law.


I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. "prisoners of war"


detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.


I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations


election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election).


I set the record for fewest numbers of press conferences of any


President since the advent of television.


I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one-year period.


After taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the


worst security failure in U.S. history.


I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade


Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S.the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.


I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.


I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked,


pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.


I have cut health care benefits for war veterans and support a cut


in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families-in-wartime.


In my State of the Union Address, I lied about our reasons for


attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our British friends.


I am the first President in history to have a majority of Europeans


(71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.


I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD.


I have so far failed to fulfill my pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.





RECORDS AND REFERENCES





All records of my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my


father's library, sealed and unavailable for public view.


All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my


bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.


All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President,


attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and

Is The Green Monkey overrated?

He warrants a mention as arriving at Saratoga "from Belmont Park Saturday at about 8:30 a.m." on the bloodhorse.com notes. He hasn't started yet - is expected to debut at Saratoga...said to be "professional".





For those unfamiliar - he's the world record holder of sale price 2 year old in training @ $16 million. see http://racing.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.a鈥?/a>





He's well bred, pretty but there's a lot of well bred pretty horses that bring lots of money that don't pan out on the track. Any thoughts/ideas from others as to his potential?|||No I don't think he's overrated necessarily. He is an oddity, a curiosity as the most expensive sales horse ever. Everyone will be watching him but no one is hyping him - basically he's not rated so he can't really be overrated. As for his price, it really has less to do with the horse himself and the pissing match between Coolmore and Godolphin. If those two entities are up against each other they'd fight tooth and nail to win a beauty pageant.





Of course the best coverage of The Green Monkey has been coming from Indian Charlie





(Todd Pletcher to John Magnier) "Boss I've got some bad news. The horse is training like a million bucks".|||We cant know until he actually runs. But I admit they sure spent alot on him.|||A $16 million 2 year old. The only winners in this case were the ones that sold the horse.|||If you will consider the amount of money he might earn on the racetrack in his lifetime, before being sent to stud, he is definately "overrated" for the purposes of wagering on the races he will run in. It will be nearly impossible for him to win his price back from purses won even in the best of circumstances.





His true value to the owner lies in stud fees from breeding him as a stallion. The horse owners are the true gamblers in horseracing. They pay all expenses for the chance at large purse money in the graded stakes races. If this horse can win a race like the KY Derby or the Breeders Cup Classic his value at stud alone will exceed his purchase price.





This is the risk the owners have chose to bear. It will be very intresting to see how he performs into his triple crown season. His value for wagering will be comprimised by all of the attention and high expectations foisted on him. The Green Monkey has much to prove before he can reach the point where he is a profitable investment.





This is simply my opinion as a serious fan of horse racing.|||As I'm not in a position to spend $16,000 on a horse let alone $16,000,000 I can't really judge, but history shows that top priced horses rarely win back the purchase price. He will have a better chance to breed back the money.





If he can run like his broodmare sire and breed like his paternal grandfather he would be a bargain.

Tyson Gay is not competing in the 200m. WHY? Yes, he fell down in the trials. Isn't this gonna cost US a gold?

He is the world record holder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH TEAM USA POLICY??|||He is not the world record holder, he is the current world champion.


the U.S. selects its Olympic teams through a competitive meet.


Gay pulled or strained a muscle and did not qualify to run the 200 in Beijing.


This is not the first, nor will it be the last time that the best athlete did not qualify for the Olympics.


There is always discussions about making changes in the process, but no one can agree and even though this procedure may not field the best team it is the fairest way to pick a team.


No one wants a committee playing favorites on who gets to go to the Olympics.


Gay would have been one of the favorites, but you never know who is going to win a race, that is why we run the race.|||he is not the world record holder...michael johnson is and he set that at the 1996 olympics in atlanta. and actually it might not cost the u.s. the gold because the u.s. have lots of sprinters who run the 200m like xavier carter, wallace spearmon,walter dix,and etc. also there is nothing wrong with the team usa policy...if an athlete does not qualify for an event for the olympics that athlete just doesn't qualify they couldn't do that because that would be called cheating, but on the bright side he gets to run the 100m and 4x100m relay at Beijing.

Micheal Johnson in the 100m?

Micheal johnson is the current 400m world record holder and the former 200m world record holder with a time of 19.32 so 19.32 divided by 2=9.66 which at that time would have been a world record so why did he not run the 100m?|||Your math is correct but you're overlooking the fact that he has to accelerate from a complete stop to full speed at the beginning of the race. The slowest part of a sprinter's race is coming out of the blocks at the beginning of the race and they accelerate until they achieve and then hold their maximum speed for the rest of the race. This "slow period" of acceleration is present in his 200m time, but then he holds his maximum speed for the remainder of the race. When we look at his time in the 200m we see the slow period averaged with his maximum speed for most of the distance. If he were to run the 100, this slow period of acceleration would make up a larger proportion of the shorter race, dragging down his overall time, and making it unlikely that Michael Johnson could have run the 100 in half the time it took him to run the 200m.





If this was helpful, I'd appreciate it if you marked this answer as a good one. Thanks!|||jvoorhees is spot on there. the acceleration speed of sprinters is around 20/30metres and in that time you arent at full speed. id give him best answer...even if his name is that of a killers! lol|||I think it's because he enjoyed the 200m and 400m more.

He snatched 213.0 kg (469.6 lb) in September 2003 at Qinhuangdao. Rezazadeh scored a record total of 472.5 kg at both the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2004 Athens Olympics.

Johnathon Edwards the triple jumper?

I have read that former world record holder of the triple jump,johnathon Edwards has gone from devout Christian to atheist,in recent years.Is this correct?And if so,what brought the change in him?|||I heard Jonathan Edwards speaking on the radio last week, and when the interviewer asked, 'You're a Christian, aren't you?' he replied, 'I used to be'.





I have no idea why Jonathan is now describing himself thus. All I can say is that being a Christian is not down to a human's opinion or effort; it is a work of God. If someone is genuinely a Christian, ie they have genuinely repented of their sins %26amp; trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, they cannot lose their salvation. Being saved does not depend on them, but on what Jesus Christ has already done! If it were possible for somebody to lose this spectacular salvation, then there would be no assurance for the Christian %26amp; Jesus's death would have been in vain!





So, back to Jonathan: Either he is a Christian, who has backslidden away from God, or he was never truly converted in the first place. I am in no position to judge either way, neither are you; only God knows Jonathan's heart.

Throughout the movie he never acknowledged Steve Wiebe's skill at playing Donkey Kong. Wiebe now holds both the live and taped Donkey Kong world records after beating a taped score of over 1 million points set by Billy Mitchell in 2006 !





Mitchell may be a great Donkey Kong player but he's a horrible human being !

Asafa was quick, like his brothers and his father before them - William tells me he never met a man who could beat him in a race, until he became a dad - but there was nothing to suggest he would become a professional athlete.

Who is the worlds youngest black belt in tae kwan do?

ok there is this kid in my skool who says he is the world record holder for the youngest blackbelt i guess in tae kwan do but im no sure does anyone kno? name is jerome bivona...does name strike a bell?|||no. but i take tae kwOn do. and their are kids about 3 years old that are black belt all ready.|||If someone has any black belt and is under 18...feel sorry for them for their (parent's) wasted money, wasted time training in a McDojo, and their false sense of security.|||Under WTF rules, I'm pretty sure you can't get a black belt under the age of 16. But rather, you get a so-called Poom-belt with red and black on it, which is exchangable for a black belt at 16.





And I strongly disagree that in order to have a black belt below the age of 18, you went to a belt factory. In general, Taekwon-do is a bit faster to advance in than other martial arts. For example, it took me 1.5 years of Karate to achieve my yellow belt rank, whereas it took me a year with Taekwon-do to achieve a yellow belt with green stripe. That said, I am a bit more determined than others so I skipped a belt.





A good friend of mine is 16 and has her black belt. Her technique is amazing. She is pretty good at sparring against other girls her weight and age, and the winner of several international awards in doing Poomsae (forms). She comes from a school whose youngest black belt (or rather Poom, as I explained) is 12. Would that make it a McDojang? Definitely not - our instructor is nationally and internationally recognised and appears in martial arts magazines and even on TV, rarely.





Of course, the instructor has little to do with the black belt examination anyway. He merely trains you to be able to do it - when you do your dan examinations, you will be judged by several other high-dan black belts who come from all over the country and not by your own instructor.|||Every Tae Kwon Do orgsnization is independent. I a reputable organization, it takes 3-5 yrs to reach black belt %26amp; the earliest a student should start is around 5. If you see 5 %26amp; 6 yr old black belts, something is wrong. He may be the youngest in his school or organization. I doubt if anyone has a comprehensive list of all black belts in all organizations.|||The youngest I remember was Bruce Li Hwang. Was on That's Incredible in the 80's. I think he got it when he was 6? I watched him grow up, the little bugger.|||All a belt is good for is KEEPING YOUR DOBAK TIGHT!!!!|||black belt under 16= black belt factory. His black belt is worth as much as rotting sewer rat meat.|||Rank has no importance. Just agree with the kid.


I have a nephew who is under 18months, I could make him a black belt tomorrow there by defeating this kids record, I may go on EBay today and do this.





I also saw a chimp who has a black belt in judo.





Rank is just a method of keeping people organized within a school. Those people that display their rank verbally to others have ego issues. Let them blow their hot air.

In the Kung Fu magazine July/August 2008 edition, they have picture of a guy name Anthony Kelly and he is the?

Arrow Catcher guiness world record holder. Is he a martial artist? and can he really catch arrow shooting straight at him?|||Yes he has been doing martial arts for over 30 years. He has a black belt in 6 martial arts. He catches arrows, under water spears, paint balls. He also catches paint balls and tennis balls blind folded.|||i wouldnt know i dont read kung fu magazine. if you want to know who he is type in his name and you'll probably find something about him.|||If you allow someone to shoot an arrow straight at you, you are not a martial artist, you are a fool. Even if you are quick enough to catch an arrow, why would you allow someone to shoot one straight at you? Snatching a slower flying arrow out of the air in flight is a common parlor trick, but allowing one to be shot at you is stupidity.

Usain Bolt (world record holder) vs Asafa Powell (former world record holder) vs Tyson Gay (world champion) vs "the others"|||Could well be Tyson Gay vs Asafa Powell vs Usain Bolt will be amazing but please dont forget that they are not the only three competitors. |||no guarantee they will make it to the final and in a month from now, nobody will know who won the race.../|||Nope! Never was and never will be. The most exciting event of the Olympics is the finals of the women's 4 x 100 meters relay, although the 100 meters--especially the mens--is a close 3rd!

How do most D&D characters run at 13.63 mph?

With a move speed of 30, and a run of x4, how do most D%26amp;D races run almost as fast as the world record holder for a 4 minute mile? It just seems preposterous. Commoners move at that speed too! Did no one think that over?|||30 FT

2 X base movement is a run.

2 X 30 = 60 Ft = 18.288 meters. A mile is 1610 meters. Equals a 8:48 mile.

4 X base movement is a SPRINT (which cannot be done in consecutive turns OR when encumbered).

4 X 30 = 120 FT. = 36.576 meters. One turn equals 6 seconds.

So 36.576 meters in 6 seconds converts to 100 meters in 16.40 seconds.

Which is a pretty conservative sprint. (Not to mention encumberance which most people "fail to remember" to factor in).



Now commoners can move at the same pace, sure. But they also have to be un-encumbered, and since they generally have a much lower strength (8-10) they become encumbered fairly quickly.



Review your rules.

Would you rather be a Guinness World Record Holder or an Olympic Athlete?

Olympic Athlete





An athlete gets paid, enjoys fame if they win.





When their career is over they are qualified to coach, so they still have a career.





Guinness World Record Holder gets their name in a book and how many people really read that book?





Sometimes they make the news.|||i'd rather be an underserving nobel prize winner|||Depends on what record I'm holding in Guinness and which sport I participate in.|||olympic athlete cause id be both|||depend, in a collective team, I rather be in the Guiness book

Would you rather be a Guinness World Record Holder or an Olympic Athlete?

I would say an Olympic Athlete, because records WILL be broken at some point or another, but a medal lasts forever.|||well i already hold the world record for largest penis but i mean i guess an olympic athlete|||OLYMPIC ATHLETE

How did humans evolve this much?

Looking at all the records and all the athletes scientists say that people went beyond the limit of what is humanly possible.


And as i see many bodybuilders, athletes they are FAR beyond what i thought is possible.


Example :


100 meter World Record Holder Asafa Powell





100 meters in 9.74 sec = about 23 mph





How did humans evolve so fast?


Is it steroids, chemistry ?


Is it effect of the environment?|||The record for 100 meters is 9.69 by Usian Bolt.


It is not a fast evolution when we are looking at recorded performances, but is a fast evolution when looking at the history of the world.


Improved training methods, brought about by increased knowledge of human performance and functions, along with better equipment, and track surfaces, and professionals who train all year are responsible for the improvement within the last 30 years in human performance.

OK, IN TODAY'S NEWS... The world's fastest man has adopted the world's fastest animal...?

"As part of an effort to help protect Kenya's endangered species, Usain Bolt formally adopted a three-month old cheetah cub today in Nairobi. (What? You thought the world record holder in both the 100 and 200 meters would own a tortoise?)





Bolt bestowed one of his own nicknames upon the cub, naming him "Lightning Bolt"."





IS THIS GUY trying to become the world's first Super Hero?





Next, will he buy the world's fastest Car to drive to the world's fastest Plane to jet off to the world's fastest Fast-Food Restaurant? Or will he try to take over the world's fastest Communications System (the Internet) by becoming the World's Fastest Typist !





Somebody get him Spandex and a Cape! Quick!|||It's a shame, because the cheetah is only the fastest land animal. It's certainly not the fastest animal. The peregrine falcon, for example, can fly at over 100mph.

Best investment I could ever make, what about you? World's strongest vagina lady is trainer of vagina muscles?

I stumbled accross a channel on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/intimfitness) that led me to making one of the best investments known to mankind in my wife! After careful study of video segments and email correspondence, I was directed to website (www.intimfitness.com) where a russian lady (world record holder of strongest vagina) speaks about training vaginal muscles with weights for improved wellness and health in women that prevents common womens diseases. I have to say that the intimate benefits are above and beyond. I'm asking myself and I welcome other thoughts, am I more excited about the sexual benefits for me than the confidence and wellness for her?|||This is hysterical! But yes to answer the question. You are probably more excited about the sexual benefits for you than the health benefits for your wife, but thats okay. You are a guy, that's normal. I work out everyday to gain a healthy body, my husband likes that I am healthy but what he really LOVES is that he has a hot sexy body to cuddle up next to and I wouldn't be mad at him for that!! It's close to the same situation and I doubt your wife would care either!

World Records?

Does anyone know of any world records that seem rather easy to beat? I would really like to become world record holder.|||Instead of attempting to beat a current world record, create your own.

Can somebody please explain how,with a record like this, GWB got to become President?

RESUME OF GEORGE W. BUSH

company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.


I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.


With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry,

During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most


smog-ridden city in America.


I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.


I set the record for the most executions by any governor in

criminal record.


I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over


one billion dollars per week.

any 12-month period.


I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my


bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.


All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President,


attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and


unavailable for public review.|||Don't blame me, I voted for Ralph Nader. I've been begging my representatives to Impeach this blistering SSI-case since the day AFTER his first "election."





I'm dumbfounded only in that there are still people who support Doofus. Unreal.





We need to get our National Guard troops back to our own affairs and protecting our national borders, not Iraq.|||He was elected... twice... get over it and get on with your "life"|||Dude you're the funniest guy ever....|||I loathe the guy, but I don't think this "resume" is entirely fair. Can you document, for instance, that the National guard thing was about a drug test?|||If even half of that is true then Dubbyah supporters are even more retarded than I thought.|||The first, close election was decided by the Supreme Court. He was elected as a war-time president the second time around, but the war was started based on lies and deception for the purpose of getting elected and securing the oil fields for the oil companies.





In 1965 I saw our new military vehicle at The US Army Transportation School in Ft. Eustis, VA. This vehicle used water as a fuel. In 1975 when there was no gas at the pump, I called the school and found there was no trace of the vehicle.





It would really have ruined things for the oil companies if we did not need oil to fuel our cars.





The Fox News video in the link below is about using water for fuel. From this you should know that as bad as GWB seems to be, there have been many people before him that are doing or have done a job on the American people.|||democracy. love it or hate it.





and a little help from the generous governor of florida.

The list above IS NOT a comprehensive breakdown of every pitcher to ever surpass the 100 mph barrier, but rather a list of pitchers we have seen on ESPN Game of the Week, SportsCenter, or in person eclipsing the century mark. If you want to share an another or provide an accurate game date for those we have in the chart please send us an email.





So who is the fastest pitcher in baseball? Baseball Almanac honestly does not know. Major League Baseball does not recognize radar speeds as an official statistic. The Elias Sports Bureau, Stats Inc and The Sporting News are all highly respected resources who publish some form of record book every season, yet none of them recognize any pitcher as the fastest ever. Nobody really knows, but we do hope this article has shed some light on the topic and at least provided you with additional material to argue with your friends about.
