The A-hole Brodcasting Company produced that show to "train" the U.S. public into thinking having a woman president would be a good idea.

There would have been a few seasons of prime-time airing to break down any barriers the public might have to the idea by the time the next Presidential election will take place.

Oh, yeah, what's her name??? Hillary??? Yeah, that's the one. You don't think ABC would like to see HRC as POTUS do you??? I even heard a 5-second sound byte of Genna Davis saying HRC would make a good POTUS. Man...

Well, it seems like the news is good once again!!!

Buh Bye to that POS show and the WW too!!!

Well....I gotta agree with NDD here.

I got the chance to work with Geena Davis on the movie SPEECHLESS, while in Santa Fe NM. I met her several times working on the film. Very personable and easy to talk to.

The first time, was while we were doing a night shoot. She wasn't in the scene, it was with Micheal Keaton and Bonnie Badealia (she was Bruce Willis' wife in the Die Hard films), well she came down to the set anyway. I was sitting by the monitors watching the filming and Geena came in and sat down beside me. Took me awhile to recognize her. She wasn't wearing any female camofluge (makeup) and well...SHE WAS HOT.

How can you NOT think she's hot. She's got Beauty, Brains (she's a MENSA), and nice and tall and lean. Granted some of her work (Thelma and Louise and CinC), leaves alot to be desired, but you gotta admit, she was good in, The Fly, and of course, Earth Girls are Easy.

So yeah....she's HOT.

I never saw Commander in Chief. I will say this about Geena Davis, she decided she was interested in Archery and in 2 years was a semifinalist for the 2000 US Olympic team. She also plays drums and flute.

Ted Kaczynski has an IQ that would dwarf 99.9% of the Mensa members.

My point; brain power means zip if not properly applied. (What has she done for her country?)

Quit frankly, I don't know what she's done for our country. I've looked at her bio, and it doesn't list any groups (right or left wing leaning) that she supports/ belongs to. But that doesn't mean she isn't doing things that we can't see.

You could say, that her trying out for the Olympic Archery team was an attempt to Represent our country.

True, Ted Kaczynski could run circles around the 99.9% of Mensa members. But I still think that's a good acheivment on her part.

TK's IQ was measured at 170 when he was 10 y.o. The frequency of a score at that level is 1:164,571. Assuming a current US population of 295.87 million, that would imply a total of 1,798 US residents with a score of 170 or better.

Mensa's IQ requirement is only 133, a threshold met by about 5.6 million US residents (given the assumptions above) at a frequency level of 1:51. Mensa claims to have about 50,000 members in the US.

Therefore, it is not mathematically possible for TK to have an IQ exceeding that of 99.9% of Mensa members, unless the membership of the organization is skewed radically low. But your point is well taken.

(BTW, an interesting hypothesis would be that Mensa's membership is, in fact, skewed low and composed primarily of individuals who just barely make the cut. Unfortunately, they do not release data on their membership which would allow us to test this.)

If you graph a standard statistical analysis for mean intelligence and plot the populations of the standard deviations, TS's statement and your hypothesis about skew are both plausible (if a little overstated). FWIW - Peregrino

I wonder how long 99.9% of Mensa's members could stay on the run from the FBI.
