going from being the gardener to being the Presidents number one adviser, while knowing nothing but what's on TV makes a good commentary on the USA of forty years ago. But we haven't really gone uphill since then. What would be the best analogy for the intelligence level of our President today?????
 
"Being There" was a good read, and a better movie. It's about as close as our literature has ever come to telling us the truth about ourselves. . . . .
 
but telling the truth is tricky business. If you can't do it with humor, and without hitting the truth dead center, nobody will like it.

how can I make the Obama story funny? He was lower than the garderer, a street organizer. . . . and now he's not just the Pres adviser, he's the actual Pres. And it's all because of TV.
 
The name of the book will be "Beans".

In chapter one we have none other than Albert Einstein walking across the Princeton commons with Henry E. Eyring in 1936. Al say "what are those", pointing to some green sprouts.

Forty years later, Henry Eyring is still telling graduate students "Einstein didn't know beans".
 
I know. Let's talk about time travel and clocks warped by speed, OK????? Is that relevant to our next few decisions on the job or around the house????

I call it the rubber ruler solution to the existential paradoxes to our understanding of the universe. Of course our physical laws aren't wrong, it's the rulers that just need to be stretchy to make everything fit the laws.
 
Albert Einstein made up some equations. I didn't see where there was a term for separating energy inputs into two boxes. . . . one the momentum box and another the rest mass box. . . . so we could predict which box an observer would be evaluating.
 
another equation that's just missing from the whole system is one that relates time to anything else, as a cause or effect of any mass, energy, or space. nope. time is something else entirely. . . . nothing to do with any of that.

well, it'll have to be a little later, probably. As much as I don't want to be driving in the snow tonight. . . . .well, I guess tomorrow will do for the driving.
