We don't make little statues of our leaders in this country, but an Obama chess set would be cool.

2. or a really big set of checkers. I've heard the moves aren't as complicated as chess. nt

18. I was going to suggest dominoes.

[patrice]

20. Yeah, dominoes, a BIG set, the point being, the moves aren't as arcane as chess, but still

require strategic decisions about the timing and use of resources. Dominoes is also better, because you don't know what everyone else has, unlike chess in which you can see everything, which is not the case in politics, and what you don't know CAN affect what you can do.

14. For all the fellas out there with ladies to impress: it's easy to do, just follow these steps.

[pintobean]

15. I learned that in 5th grade.

40 years ago and I never forgot. The ladies don't seem too impressed, but I taught it to some neighbor kids and they were.

Tongue in cheek, but true.

17. I think that we're talking about two different things.

10. There's only 16 pawns in a chess set-not 300 million.

16. The little statues of our leaders are made in China

19. Thanks to Obama's chess moves we are for the first time

in this country demanding the congress raise taxes. The only reason the Republican party even exists is to lower taxes, they have nothing else. Obama has taken that issue from them, in fact he made them give it to him.

I'm telling you...Obama is a Jedi.

[patrice]

21. There are polls that say people object to HOW their taxes are spent, not the taxes themselves. nt
