just in from a friend...........:


This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.


You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly
hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer . . .somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under.

You have two options--you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer :


Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

OMGAWD!!! That was a classroom example why one should not drink coffee
over your keyboard! Must go clean keyboard & try to stop laughing. I
think I would go with the classic simplicity of b&w.

Hey, I laughed, and I am a Republican. I'd go with the Black and White,
too. Nothing captures the pathos of the moment like B&W.

From Dubya's most recent press conference:

Q. Mr President, what is your opinion on Roe vs. Wade?

A. I don't care how people get out of New Orleans.

then see what you get.

Google had nothing to do with it.

Google uses an algorithm to return search results that have links to
something.

So, if more pages have the word 'failure' near a link to the president's
biography, it will return that link.

This is a Google hack.

And the Angry's Left's desperate attempts to validate their out of
touch with reality views.
