Did you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spells "race car"?

That "eat" is the only word that, if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, spells its past tense, "ate"?

And if you rearrange the letters in "so-called tea party Republicans," and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Shut up you free-loading, progress-blocking, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, violent, hypocritical assholes, and face the fact that you nearly wrecked the country under Bush."

How weird is that?

Did you know that "facetious" is the only word in the English language that uses all of the vowels in order...and sometimes "y" (facetiously).

Oh and by the way....Is Obama doing anything better? Not that I've seen.

Yes.
Not in all areas but still, yes.

No, I hadn't known that, but appreciate the information.

As phrased, that's an especially easy question. Dick Fugging Nixon would be doing better than that lot.

Previously mentioned somewhere but relevant...

"Skepticisms" is the longest word which alternates hands with each letter on a QWERTY.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

Well let's see... Intelligence failure leading to a terrorist attack and a war? Nope. Allowing the mastermind of the whole terrorist bunch to get away so that he could have a perpetual boogey-man? Nope. Lying his way into another war so that his VP's company could get rich? Haven't seen that. Removing regulations on oil companies so that they could police themselves and result in an environmental catastrophe? Don't think so. Ignore a looming credit crisis which causes a world-wide financial meltdown and recession? Hasn't happened under Obama.

Bush and Cheney are criminals, plain and simple, and they should be arrested and locked up for life.

Bookkeeper is the only English word with three consecutive double letters.
