    "Is our children learning?" and other "Bushisms"

    These are some quotes from President George W. Bush that have become commonly known as "Bushisms."

  • The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case.
  • I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is misunderestimating.
  • Actually, I this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I'm talking about when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me.
  • Dick Cheney and I do not want this nation to be in a recession. We want anybody who can find work to be able to find work.
  • The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants.
  • Rarely is the question asked, . . . is our children learning?
  • Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.
  • First, I recognize we live in a momentous time. For those of you watching, we seem to have a mechanical flaw.
  • That makes sense to me, doesn't it?
  • The United States and China are two nations divided by a vast ocean.
  • We have a big border between Texas and Mexico.
  • The primary component of gasoline is crude oil.
  • You can't read a newspaper if you can't read.
  • I would still invade Iraq even if Iraq never existed.
  • One has a stronger hand when there's more people playing your same cards.
  • As you know, my position is clear – I’m the commander guy.

    On the Road Again

    Greetings Listers!

    Been traveling much this summer? I’ve been moving around so much I feel like a drug-trafficking husband of an untrustworthy stewardess (bad analogy?). And tomorrow, I am actually leaving again, this time heading to Nut Ridge, in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. The crazy thing is, I actually found a ton of lists about the area on ListAfterList.com: Notable Residents of Ithaca, NY; Famous Alumni of Cornell University; and Top 10 Best Wine Country Inns just to name a few. Then I realized, it’s not just this area, but everywhere. Hundreds of listers have created thousands of lists - some about small towns, some about big cities, and some about their favorite vacation spots. You can find lists about local favorites and travel top 10s.

    Maybe you have some entertaining ideas to add to this list of top 10 things to do around the campus of Ohio State? Everyone already knows about the Oval right?

    Or maybe you know of another intersting attraction in Wichita, Kansas besides Ty’s Diner?

    Do you even know where on earth Chandigarh is located? If so, have you ever been to Sector 17?

    From there, dig a hole through the center of the earth and you’ll end up somewhere in between some more familiar places; like Las Vegas, New York City, and the OC.

    Or maybe you want you’d just rather fly? Try one of these top 10 international airlines!

    Wherever you live, or wherever you end up, create a list about it! If you share what you know and what you’ve learned about your favorite places in the world, you may someday find it flourishing because they heard about it on ListAfterList.com. If nothing else, it’s also a great way to vent about your most despicable places you’ll never visit again.

    Entourage's Gary Busey Quotes

    William Gareth Jacob Busey, Sr. (born June 29, 1944) is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-nominated American film and stage actor. He has recently become a recurring guest cameo in the HBO TV series "Entourage" and a fan favorite. Here are some of his crazy quotes from the show (and his life):

  • Entourage: Gary's Desk
  • “ I painted George Hamilton white. I took 200 pounds off Dom DeLuise by painting him with vertical stripes.”
  • You worked craft service on Lethal Weapon 1 didn’t you?
  • I know you. You are a gut maggot with no guts.
  • What is emotional confusion you ask? It’s like running naked through a cornfield backwards at midnight.
  • Nothing changes like changes, because nothing changes but the changes.
  • Drinking your own blood is the paradigm of recycling.
  • So... you've come to acquire my newly-acquired desk.
  • Fear is the dark room where the Devil develops his negatives.
  • Have a mind that's open to everything, get attached to nothing.
  • I've been told by doctors and surgeons that I have the energy of ten men who have normal jobs.
  • My dark side, my shadow, my lower companion is now in the back room blowing up balloons for kids' parties.
  • The experiences that God gave me to go through... which were cocaine, which were extravagant living in the fast, fast, fast, fast, fast lane, see?
  • There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
  • “Imagine the peace symbol. The peace symbol has three pieces in it. One piece is emotion, that's your body. Another piece has spirit in it, that's your fuel. Another piece has intellect in it and that's your steering wheel. You can never overdo the fuel that goes into the body, which is the emotions and the steering wheel to drive it.”
  • “When you get lost in your imaginatory vagueness your foresight will become a nimble vagrant.”
  • It's good for everyone to understand that they are to love their enemies, simply because your enemies show you things about yourself you need to change. So in actuality enemies are friends in reverse.

    Top 10 Ways to Win an America's Vote Talent Show

    Most Americans already know all of this, you just don't know it. Since the influx of reality TV 10 years ago, we have all been instinctively brainwashed with these ten tips that could easily win you "American Idol" or "America's Got Talent" or whatever show you need votes from the American audience to win.

    1. When the camera zooms in on you at the end of your act and the host comes out to ask you questions, hold up the number of fingers that correlates to the phone number (or text message) they need to call.
    2. Make sure you answer the questions with a balance of wit, charm, intelligence and don't forget the tears.
    3. In the promo videos the producers shoot for you to show before your act, find the sappiest, down-to-earth, heartwarming story you can that will wet every cheek in the audience and at home.
    4. Don't be afraid to give hell to the guy in the far left judges seat (Simon or Piers or whoever fits the mold) when he rips your act apart and hears boo from the crowd (though he usually is the only one qualified to be making any judgments out of the three).
    5. If you are singing, no need to write your own lyrics (since no one in the biz today does either), just choose any song from the top 10 charts from any year that fits your genre.
    6. If you are a guy, don't be afraid to take your shirt off and flex those abs... if you are a girl, don't be afraid to take your shirt off either (or at least wear something skanky).
    7. The younger you are, the better - talent plus pre-puberty is what America is most impressed with - so if you can, lie about your age.
    8. Any drama (breaking up with boyfriends, wives giving birth, dads on deathbeds, etc.) you can create during the audition phase is a plus, the TV cameras will be drawn to it like Michael Jackson to daycare, and the more TV exposure the better.
    9. Don't forget where you came from, or at least don't let America realize you have.
    10. If you are a guy, flirt with the judge in the middle seat (if its Paula and you're daring, you can even sleep with her)... if you are a girl, flirt with the guy in the far right judges seat (remember, whichever hand makes an L when you stick out your thumbs is the left).

    Who is Merv Griffin?

    Keep hearing about Merv Griffin on the news but have no clue who he was? Here is a quick summary of his life in list form.



  • Birth - He was born on July 6, 1925 in San Mateo, California to Mervyn, Sr. a stock-broker and the former Rita Robinson, a homemaker.


  • Childhood - Raised as a Roman Catholic, at the age of seven he was staging neighborhood carnivals and churning out his own one-page newspaper.


  • Radio Career - Griffin started as a singer on radio at age 19, appearing on San Francisco Sketchbook, a nationally syndicated program based at KFRC.


  • Overweight - Griffin was slightly overweight as a teenager, which disappointed his radio fans seeing him for the first time to the point of laughter. Embarrassed by this rude reaction, Griffin resolved to lose weight and change his image. He was true to his word and matured into a handsome big-band vocalist.


  • Big Shot - Freddy Martin was a fan of the radio show and asked Griffin to tour with his orchestra, which he did for four years.


  • First Album - Griffin earned enough to form his own record label, Panda Records, and his self-released album Songs by Merv Griffin was the first American album recorded on magnetic tape.


  • One Hit Wonder - He became popular with nightclub audiences as a solo act. He scored a number-one record hit with "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts", which sold over three million copies.


  • On Film - During one of his nightclub performances, he was discovered by Doris Day, who arranged for a screen test at Warner Bros. Studios. His open-mouthed kiss with Kathryn Grayson in his debut film, "So This Is Love" (1953), was the first such kiss in a Hollywood film since the introduction of the Production Code in 1934.


  • Do-do-Do-do-Do-Do-do - One of Merv's better-known musical compositions would be the theme song for Jeopardy.


  • TV Appearances - He appeared regularly on such television shows as "The Arthur Murray Dance Party" and "The Jack Paar Show".


  • Game Show Host - From 1958 to 1962 he hosted a game show produced by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman called "Play Your Hunch". The show appeared on all three networks, but primarily on NBC. He also hosted a primetime game show for ABC called Keep Talking.


  • Talk Show Host - Griffin later substituted for Paar on The Tonight Show, leading NBC to offer him his own daytime talk show in 1962. That program failed, but NBC offered him the opportunity to host a new game show, Word for Word, in 1963, which Griffin produced as well.


  • Jeopardy - This led Griffin to produce the far more successful Jeopardy!. A reverse on the classic quiz show format in which contestants are given answers and must supply the questions, Jeopardy premiered on NBC on March 20, 1964 hosted by Art Fleming the show succeeded and lasted for 11 years.


  • MGS - The Merv Griffin Show aired in a variety of time slots throughout North America. Many stations ran it in the daytime, some broadcast it opposite Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show, and it was carried for many years in prime time on WNEW in New York. Stations had the option of carrying either a 60-minute or a 90-minute version. Merv's announcer-sidekick was the veteran British character actor Arthur Treacher, who had been his mentor.


  • Wheel Keeps Turning - Griffin was allowed to produce the show's successor, Wheel of Fortune. Premiering on January 3, 1975, Wheel became a modest hit on daytime television with Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford as host and hostess. But it became a phenomenon when on September 13, 1983 Wheel hit the syndication market with Pat Sajak and Vanna White in the same respective roles.


  • Richest Man in the Biz - Upon his retirement, he sold his production company, Merv Griffin Enterprises, to Columbia Pictures Television unit for $250 million, which was the largest acquisition of an entertainment company owned by a single individual at that time. Following the sale, Forbes named him the richest Hollywood performer in history. He retained the title of executive producer of both shows until his death.


  • Real Estate Mogul - Griffin ventured into real estate, purchasing the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. He also purchased Resorts Hotel and Casino, formerly Chalfonte-Haddon Hall Hotel in Atlantic City from Donald Trump in 1988. In the 1980s, Griffin purchased Paradise Island in the Bahamas for $400 million from Donald Trump, but he later sold it for just $125 million.


  • Death - It was publicized that Griffin's prostate cancer, treated originally in 1996, had returned and that he was admitted to Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. On August 9, 2007 it was reported that Merv Griffin was in grave condition; he died three days later on August 12, 2007.
