[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ROFL - great joke on Leno

"Here’s an interesting fact, the Republican Convention boosted the New York economy $255 million. But the Democratic Convention in Boston only netted it $14.8 million. People wonder why it was so much less? Sure, Democrats don’t like spending their own money."

Yeah, I heard it too. Straight to the point. Classic.

I think it’s apples and oranges. I believe the Boston figure refers only to money realized by the City of Boston (i.e., the Boston City Treasury). The NYC figure is some statistical extrapolation of dubious accuracy and “creative accounting.”

NYC is also more expensive than Boston. The figure for NYC needs to be put in “Boston adjusted dollars,” or some such. (In Boston, this means “It’s mine unless I let you keep it.”)

You honestly think the difference between 255 million and 15 million is "New York dollars versus Boston dollars"? Must be that New Math

Word for word, that's exactly what I thought when I read that!

Also, I should have made it clearer in paragraph 1 that (apparently) the NYC statistic refers to all monies spent in pursuit of the convention in the NY area. That is, it includes extra money spent for security, for direct convention expenses, for car rentals by attending delegates, and for the bagel with cream cheese purchased by the greengrocer delegate from Indiana. The extreme difference is (apparently) due to the total addition to the NYC economy due to the convention.

The Boston statistic refers to direct and indirect taxes that made the City of Boston (alone) richer. That is, I think that is why the difference is so large and Leno was conparing "apples and oranges."

So, I'm not perfect.

I think we found Kerry's new campaign manager. You sir have a talent for spouting utter mindless bullshit any dimotwit could believe.

"Whadya want"? I'll tell you what I don't want. I don't want to go to a party with you!

The story around here is that when Kennedys get into some kind of hassle (like a dry cleaning bill, or having to pay for a meal), they say: "Do you know who I am?" Kerry is famous for doing the same.

One day Kerry asked that of the wrong guy, who responded: 'Yeah. A golddigger.'
