One day Obama met the Queen and asked her how was it that she was so successful and why all the people loved her.

"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around are really intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle."

The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister.

Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.

Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential choice the same question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child.

It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one." He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer.

Finally, Biden ran in to Sarah Palin out eating one night. Biden asked, "Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Sarah Palin answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"

Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Sarah Palin!"

Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, "No! You idiot! It's Tony Blair!"

AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE WHITE HOUSE

"What I'm talking about is the comparison between apples and oranges. For example, Sweden has some of the highest rape rates in the world. Seeing this, one might conclude Sweden is full of rapists. On closer examination, you'll find that different countries have different definitions of rape, with Sweden's being the most inclusive, resulting in higher recorded rape incidents. If you were to record unemployment as a fraction of the whole population, the same apple vs orange comparison will happen, from say comparing an aging society like Japan and a younger society like Nigeria. So I don't think unemployment measuring the entire population is useful."

Except the comparision is between reporting here and now and reporting Here and Then

i'm not comparing foriegn countries

i'm comparing the Bureau of Labor and statistics U3 and U6 categories over the past few decades.

Somebody said I needed to understand more people are retiring, and, I said that's been known for over 55 years.
THen you said we're comparing apples and oranges

I'm not comparing two different systems of gathering info- just a change in reporting the same system of gathering info

ok this is funney even if Biden was a jackass
