Nancy Pelosi's Intelligence

Nancy Pelosi says that the latest John McCain advertisement "insults our intelligence." Here's how intelligent Nancy Pelosi is.

“I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” she said at one point. Natural gas “is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels,” she said at another.


Ahem.

Nancy Pelosi is fortunate that she's not a contestant in the teenaged Miss America contest.



I wonder if she even knows that burning natural gas yields carbon dioxide?

Be Dumb, Live Long

I don't know how one measures the intelligence of a fly, but apparently the dumber a fly is, the longer its lifespan.

Scientists Tadeusz Kawecki and Joep Burger at the University of Lausanne said Wednesday they had discovered a "negative correlation between an improvement in a fly's mental capacity and its longevity".


I don't know if this applies to humans or not, but it seems to have worked for Robert Byrd. Patty Murray will probably live forever.
