The number 47 ...

[mike]

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

Either way, considering Rmoney's remarks about the 47 per cent, awesome!

[rstrong]

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

Yup. It's explained here.

It started in the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and continued through Voyager, DS9, Star Trek Online and J.J. Abrams's Star Trek movie.

In the movie it's only used in the alternate reality. Which makes it a perfect match for Romney's remarks.

All the more reason to believe Romney was (is) an automaton.

How else could he have been so easily reprogrammed?

If you're into numerology...

"This number indicates uncertainities, treachery and deception of others; it foreshadows trials, tribulation, and unexpected dangers, unreliable friends and grief caused by members of opposite sex. it gives grave warning if it comes out in anything concerning future events"

Cheiro's book of numbers

Maybe there's something to it!

I'm not but, still, counselor, interesting. Thanks!

As I mentioned, though I'm not interested in numerology (just numbers in general), interesting, nonetheless, O Really.

I'm not into numerology either, but the description was just too funny to pass up. Particularly the part about "it gives grave warning if it comes out in anything concerning future events". Not to mention the reference to Romney's "women" problem. But I never could relate to a concept that all numbers have serious meanings. I think that sometimes "666" is just the number following "665."

Indeed, counselor, the number 666 is merely the number following the precedent number.

Those who believe otherwise are lunatics.

I continue to find it ironic, however, that Rmoney's disparagement of the 47 percent wound up being the percentage of the popular vote he received.

Perhaps Rmoney misspoke regarding his intended 47 per cent?

Exactly, Mike. On the old forum, I was the one who accused Mitt of actualy being Max Headroom; it was mostly the hair and his jerky little gait as he walks, as well as his general resemblance to the character. When I saw the vote count story earlier this morning, I had to laugh out loud.....glad I hadn't just taken a gulp of hot coffee. Perfect irony.....the pic of him pumping gas even looked like a bummed out Max Headroom.

At least he's found post-election work. Word has it that the Mitt Romney robot at the Disneyland Hall of Presidents will just be Mitt Romney.

Odd you should mention that little factoid, because most folks think Obama still looks like a skinny little pick-a-ninny! :-0?>

You're the only person I've heard express that opinion. But it's encouraging to see that you recognize a factoid.....I'm not convinced you know the difference between them and opinions (what someone thinks) though.

He's not familiar with thinking.

He'll just go over to the Caymans and play with his money. He'll be all better in no time. Probably run in 2016 as severely centrist.

I had heard of faux news, but never seen it until just before the 2004 election. the morning troop on the curvy couch used the factoid almost every day to describe some small truth or bit of wisdom

wrong

but it does now appear that this incorrect use of the word has evolved in our descriptive language to account for use by the less informed. the definition of factoid has itself become a factoid

I had never made the headroom connection - it fits. he does walk like a high school girl with that quick little shuffle

I was going to say that your pic of Mitten's 47.53% rounds out to 48, but his final tally was 47.4%. Conspiracy, or Gene Roddenberry's divine will, confirmed.

Yeah, it was an early screen cap.
We already knew where it was heading.

Either way, RMoney doomed himself with the 47 per cent comment ... him and most of the Republican party (well, at least a few congressmen and a few senators by proxy).

How does neoplacebo's comparison of Mitten to a digital fictional TV character justify your offensive racist term? Seek help, your problems are your own, not caused by all the groups you fear and hate.

I'm becoming more and more convinced Homer is nothing more than a troll.

As I've pondered, previously, there can be no sane individual who actually thinks as he posts ... right?
