Yeah, well, I felt lucky to get a 625 in math

getting a 625 is lucky?

geesh, haory.

I've never made any
claims to being a math whiz.

obviously.

625 WHEN?

Prior to 1985 or so, a 625 was pretty goddamn good.

Nowdays its not all that good, because they "re-normed" the test, all to
make the lieberals look good.

I'm on the cusp of being an old fart, Karl. I took the SATs in, oh,
1961, I'd say. It was a pretty good score in math, but my high school
graduating class was full of math geniuses, including a handful who got
perfect 800s. One, my best friend, later won a big-time national math
prize that presented him with a full scholarship to CalTech. He got a
b.s. in physics, then got a master's in physics, then a doctorate in
biology, and then, of all things, a law degree. We thought he'd never
leave school. At last contact, his practice involved genetics and
intellectual property law.

He's still a very regular guy.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
