Bush invents 2nd Internet!! Gore still credited for 1st!!

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/10/20041009-2.html

Scroll about 1/4-1/3 down. "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that there's going to be a draft."

I suppose if you open up two sessions at once, that might count as two internets, but our guy invented his first, dammit!!

:shrug:

1. That was the funniest part of being at DU during the debate

Lots of threads sprang up instantly about the internets. I laughed so hard I almost fell off the bed where I was watching, reading DU, and posting on my laptop.

5. 3 internets

There are at least 3 internets now:

* evolution of FidoNet
* POP3, IRC, usenet, HTTP evolution
* Spiderman and circus conglomerates

8. bush's internets

are separate but equal. * studiously excerpted his internets version of the Dred Scott case and its meaning. One internet where reason is not applicable and the second just has nothing on it since it was a list for mistakes...
