He's not very intelligent obviously. But just think about the people who like this guy.. who's real name isn't JOE and who isn't even really a plummer and who'll probably never make 250 grand in his life. He's someone alot people in those swing states can 'relate' to though on a subconscious level.

Thank you and youre insightful. *shakes your hand*

This is the craziness I hate.

I've got three different news sites open. Not one of them is calling SC in the same manner, yet two of them have already named someone a WINNER in the state. Cuckoo.

I totally agree with you!


The director of the United Nations University International Leadership Institute has published a report (.doc file) detailing the situation. The press release gives an overview:
Since the start of the war of 2003 some 84% of Iraq's higher education institutions have been burnt, looted or destroyed while four dozen academics have been assassinated and many more brave daily threats, according to an analysis of the system's reconstruction needs released today by the United Nations University.
In addition to destruction of infrastructure (just 40% of which is now under reconstruction) and ongoing security dangers, problems plaguing Iraq's higher learning system include:
• Unreliable safe water and electricity supplies;
• Emigration of Iraq's best-trained educators to other countries (an estimated 30-40% have fled since 1990);
• Long-isolated and under-qualified teaching staff (33% hold only bachelors degrees, despite rules requiring a masters degree; 39% hold masters degrees, 28% hold PhDs);
• Poorly equipped libraries and labs (2,000 labs need to be equipped; 30,000 computers are needed nationwide); • A fast-growing student population due to the high birthrate and a policy to admit any successful secondary school graduate.

The Next Hurrah: Collateral damage: 84% of Iraq's universities destroyed in the war

Between 104,000 and 223,000 Iraqi civilians died from violence between the March 2003 U.S. invasion and June 2006.

During the same period, the Iraq Body Count, which compiles its estimates from published reports, registered 47,668 violent deaths among civilians. In October 2006, the British medical journal Lancet published research by Johns Hopkins University that estimated civilian deaths at 600,000.
