Let's play a game...Guess what a "Time Horizon" is....

Conventional wisdom would say that a "Time Horizon" is a timetable for withdrawal. But there isn't much convention or wisdom in the Republican party nowadays (I don't even know what I mean... just roll with it) so if it isn't that, then what is a "Time Horizon" anyway? Well your guess is as good as mine, so I'll start first.

A "Time Horizon" is:

The name of a new feminine hygiene product.

the "Event Horizon" of a black hole, a point (I should add) that you never want to cross!

start without me and I'll try to catch up!

Kinda like the Emmett Kelly Jr. clown act where he 'almost' gets to the beam of light on the floor, then it moves.

Yeah, kinda like that - we'll 'almost' get there - then they'll change it.

A time horizon could also be the point at which you (wioll are haven) travel through time. Pardon my future imperfecta subjunctive verb conjugularizationalism. It's all covered in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe:

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of accidentally becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem involved in becoming your own father or mother that a broadminded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is also no problem about changing the course of history — the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

The major problem is quite simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveller's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you for instance how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be described differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is further complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations whilst you are actually travelling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own father or mother.

Most readers get as far as the Future Semi-Conditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up: and in fact in later editions of the book all the pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.

Imagine all the tough NRA type republicans using the term "time horizon"!! LOL!! It's so...new age.

a time horizon is something a rep president comes up with when they dont want it to sound like they agree with obama.

and then actually be punished for it.



:hi: Wetzelbill!

:shrug:

Which is equivalent to the amount of time it will take for the Republicans to pull the troops out of Iraq.

Mission Accomplished?

and run for President before their party's next 20 years slides slowly under the political horizon.
