britishbornandbread posted:Can I just say I've watched this twice and have cried laughing, thank you so much for sharing. The tweets below are just incredible. Along with all the search history jokes, I loved the line about how Romney clearly views Google as "some form of lowly butler". All the "I demand..." stuff before each search was fantastic.

This one made me chuckle, but the end and follow-up next article make it. Also the most recent headlines in the Daily Newsfeed: quote:'Ah, That Makes A Lot More Sense,' Says Man Who Previously Thought Chant Was 'Four More Ears' quote:Now It Garage Spiders' Turn To Enjoy Pool Noodle

Anybody here read Chinese? Romney Delivers Stern Warning To China, Speaking Directly Into The Camera In Fluent Mandarin I didn't do so well in the one Chinese class I attempted, so I can only pick out the words for "I," "China," and "America."

Eggbeater Jesus posted:Anybody here read Chinese? Romney Delivers Stern Warning To China, Speaking Directly Into The Camera In Fluent Mandarin I took Chinese each year I was in college, but I'm still not all that good at it thanks to lack of practice. I took a crack at translating it with a lot of help from a dictionary. quote:Chinese leaders, I am unambiguously confirming, if I am made president, I absolutely guarantee that China will follow international trade regulations. Your state has for a long time manipulated exchange rates to reap the benefits of manufacturing jobs, hitting our American manufacturing work. This is not fair! My government will not accept this behavior from China. The first day I enter the White House, I will list China as an 'exchange rate manipulating nation.' This is your warning. It's nothing very humorous given the context. I guess the joke is the idea that Romney could speak Chinese that well.

It reads like someone writing English using Chinese words.

quote:“Even on some economic issues we don’t quite see eye-to-eye,” continued the Eternal One, a self-described Keynesian who said he has “serious doubts” about the merits of trickle-down economics I love this, especially the bolded part. The closing line of the article is brilliant as well, it muddies the waters beautifully.
