| #8 Maybe Pesident Roosevelt broadcast his address to Philo Farmsworth 3 1/2 years before he was elected. Was there also a podcast on Gore's internet in 1929? |

| #7 If my memory doesn't fail me there were already TVs by the end of Twnties. Instead of a a giant vacuum tube and an elctronic ray lighting photophores they used a wheel with mirrors on its outer ridge. The wheel rotated in front of a lamp who want on or off depending on if th point was white or black (or perhaps there was something covering or uncoveriong the lamp don't remember) and because the mirrors were differntly tilted according to the one who was passing in front of the lamp a diifernt point of the creen would become white. Of course definition was very, very low. Around one hundred lines (over six hundred on electronic TVs). And in 1928 Philo Farmsworth demonstrated the first all electronic TV ie with CRT. Lincoln used it for broadcasting the Gettisburgh address. |

| #6 I knew we could count on Slow Joe. Trouble is, his goofs are not well publicized. Nothing in the daily fishrappers. Nothing on Leno or Letterman. SNL should be feasting on this fool. Not one word. All of the shitasses are waayy too busy piling on Palin. Good thing she has a strong character. I see she banned the MSM from an event the other day, and the pigs came out squealing. They couldn't believe she basically told them to f**k-off. Ha ! |

| #3 Remember when you actually had to get up off your ass to change the channel? I think that was around 1929. Well, whenever it was, it was hell lemme tell ya... |

#2 I guess that Joe was one of the contributors to Richard Lederer's Anguished English. By the evidence, he wrote this:

| #1 No,no,no. Joe 'experience' has it right. He knows because he was there at the time as the junior senator from Hawaii. |
