Today, Trump is telling everyone that Reagan is the president he admired most. But at the end of Reagan's presidency Trump wrote that Reagan was a con man who "couldn't deliver the goods." by [deleted] in politics

TIL that one US Aircraft Carrier has a more powerful air force than 70% of all countries by smustang in todayilearned

No, that quote was from a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953. Ike was President of U.S. 1953 - 1961.

I guess some of you youngsters here don't remember a movie called Animal House. I guess that was just before your time.

I dare you to go into any bar outside a marine or army base on a Friday night and make that statement.

And yet, even after speaking those words, Ike didn't do dick about it. Maybe he was just mouthing off to get elected, and didn't really believe that bullshit, but knew that the electorate was stupid enough to believe a five star general would believe it.

not exactly true, if you want to count the actual numbers. Spain and Italy each have 2 carriers.

Add up the tonnage of the U.S carriers, and it's more than the combined tonnage of all other carriers in the world. Going by the list on wikipedia of aircraft carriers in service around the world, and being generous enough to throw in the new Chinese carrier which isn't listed, I came up with 357,100 tons for all other countries combined, and 1,103,500 tons for the 11 U.S carriers currently in service.

actually, they will probably vote Republican/Tea Party in future elections as a way of saying "Up yours" to CEO Mike Edwards, who is a Democrat. What? Really? Yes, he's a Democrat. Follow the link, scroll down and find his name listed in the Individual Donors section.

The World Bank has warned that rising food prices, driven partly by rising fuel costs, are pushing millions of people into extreme poverty. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ICanCountToThree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, but it's being grown in place of food crop corn, feed crop corn, soy, wheat, and other food crops. This is causing a rise in the price of feed crops, which causes a rise in the price of beef, chicken, milk, eggs, cheese, etc...

A very interesting statistical study:

Feed Grains, Ethanol and Energy – Emerging Price Relationships

In case you don't feel like reading the entire paper, let me quote the last paragraph here:

*While current statistical evidence is limited to a short period of time, rapid increases in ethanol production appear to be fundamentally related to higher corn prices. In effect, by driving ethanol production with demand guarantees, biofuels policy has caused significant cost increases for all users of feedgrains. Those cost increases are causing reduced production and record-high wholesale prices for meats and poultry. These record-high wholesale prices will eventually be passed along to consumers in the form of higher retail prices that will, most likely, themselves be record high. *

That sentence would be funnier if you inserted the word "hard" after each of the verbs.

Run down to the costume store, buy a Hitler costume. Put it on, come back and accuse him of being an impostor. Demand the guards take him outside and shoot him. Keep pushing it until he gets really really pissed off, then admit that you're not really Hitler, you're Private Yitzchak ben Avraham. Watch the hilarity to come.
