Slog - Comments on Outsourcing Myself http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/outsourcing_myself I'm on vacation (Mark Penn not withstanding). And this morning, while I was jogging around Prospect Park, I thought to myself: Hey, if it works for The HuffingPost, maybe it will work for Slog. So now's your chance, all you people who keep telling me in the comments that you could do my job better than me. Links, analysis, news flashes—you can do almost everything in a comment thread that we do up here. Below is a pristine, unsullied comment thread. What do Slog readers need to know about what's happening with the presidential race today? Go crazy. (If this...

http://www.cnn.com./2007/POLITICS/10/10/GOP.debate/index.html

Guiliani raised only 1 million more than Romney in Q3 fund-raising. In addtion to that, Romney loaned himself 8.5 million. Clinton out-raised Obama, Edwards is lagging extremely far behind the 2 front runners.

Like asking George Bush if he knew the name of the president of Pakistan and stuff. Good times, man.

We now live in a more technical and scientific age. Lots more decisions based on like discovering mathematical correlations in patterns. You know, global warming and school choice and so on. So I'd go take Basic Statistics and then jump out of the bushes and ask John Edwards or Fred Thompson "What is the definition of standard deviation? What is the difference between median and mode?" That would be the best.

And hey! Look. You can take the whole class online! "Enroll anytime" it says! That is fucking out of sight. How can anybody afford to not take this class?

He blew his nose and ate a tuna sandwich. Then, he posted a video on Youtube talking about how sick he was of talking about himself and texted Eli so that it would be linked on SLOG. Then, he cried himself to sleep when he realized that Eli was on vacation. The end.

Write something about the absurd interview that Billy O did with President Fox last night.
Billy informed the former President of all kinds nice facts about his own country.
He said that 3/4 of Mexico was dying to get across the border. NOT TRUE!

He informed Fox that 60 percent of his country drop out of high school. NOT TRUE...
Then Billy let the former President know that the whole Mexican Army is just a bunch of Narcos... Drug Lords.
Write anything about Billy O that would be offensive to him and all of his lies.
