Aha, here comes Henry, so Dems' election system is wrong and national
system is different. Aha.
Now remind me who won popular vote in 1999 and why popular vote was
discarded to hand Bush a presidency.
As to my IQ - I took the test - you know I ams slow in general but
rather fast to learn. I run them several in a row - I remember first run
I made something like 90+, second run ~ 110, then I produced a number
close to the one you are so impressed.
Believe me the IQ number if not total crap it is very tricky. Not only
because I am a genius. Much more genius than Colbert (he is a Genius).
So if your child show'WRONG' number - spit on it. I tell you this as a
professional. Not as the Obama sup****ter.
