Well i set my gf straight about making cracks at me knowing stuff. She never says a derogatory thing bout me anymore, i think i played it perfectly, i demanded respect in a way, but was still nice to her at the same time. It really worked.

But what do u guys think of this? We were goin to see the conan obrian show, and she told me Chuck Schumer was the guest. So i'm like oh is he still a senator (i admit thats pretty bad i dont know that, i know Hillary and Frank Padavan are, so i assume he's not anymore), but she was like oh i have no idea bout stuff like that. She didnt even know the name of nyc's mayor. For those of u who dont know, its Mike Bloomberg. She lives on long island, i cant fathom how she wouldnt know the mayor of nyc. He's been mayor for like 5 or 6 yrs. I asked her and she said "it starts with a G right?"

So i mess with her and i say yea its guliani, and she like yea see thats it.
And i go oh my god!, he was the 9/11 mayor who is now running for president, he left office 6 yrs ago, how can u possibly not know this?

She got all upset and said, i dont like when people grill me like that. I knew it just couldnt think of it. I dont care about that stuff at all. So thered be no reason why id know it.

I reply "thats not something u go out of ur way to learn, u just do cuz ur not living under a rock! how do u not know the mayor of ur city, and governor of ur state (she also didnt know that). It's almost impossible not to. Especially when you are about to graduate from a masters program from a good univeristy which she is about to this spring.

I have no interest in politics either but i know whos in office in my state, who the candidates are, and what parties theyre in.

I just thoguht her not knowing that was really frightening. Would u guys be as scared as i am bout her not knowing the mayor and governor of where she lives, and being proud about it? I really like this girl, and she seems smart with everything else. When it comes to her field she is really smart. She is so good at scientific stuff, she knows all these facts boiut medicine and chemistry and stuff. And she has a good vocabulary and is smart all around. Could this just be her achilles heel? Should i let it go? SHe claims its the one thign she is horirble at. I dunno what do u guys think?

I don't know, maybe she's just not interested in politics.

Why should people know him? He hasn't been on Lost or American Idol. How do you expect anyone to know who he is if his publicist sucks.

LMAO! But seriously though, if it isn't in People Magazine, why would you expect her to know about it?

dude, I've read a fair few posts from you on this theme. Don't worry so much about it. Even reading that post, you're coming off as an annoying knowitall. Theres plenty of guys who have no idea who's in office as well. There's lots of political apathy around nowadays. I wouldn't get so upset about it.

That's pretty sad..I'm from NYC and damn sure know who the freaking mayor is.

I bet she's from Woodmere on LI.

Try buying her the Time magazine from time to time..and ask her to watch the news once a week, or even pick up a newspaper. Maybe she'll know who the president is by the end of the semester ;)

Really? What's his IQ, dude? And using which scale? She's severely ignorant, not necessarily stupid. Don't try that crap.

Hell, I know the Governor and the Mayor of New York and I'm from California. There's no excuse for that kind of ignorance. Tell her to stop watching Entertainment Tonight for 5 seconds and turn on some real news once in awhile.

I'm a dude? Anyways...based on his posts I'd guess his IQ is between 50 and 70. Yes, he is mildly retarded.

I've heard that there was way back when there was just AM radio. It may have been a myth.

Because thanks to riding on the coat-tails of 911, Rudy is and will always be "America's Mayor".

She should know who the mayor of her city is. She should have a minimal knowledge of everything, regardless of how much she knows politics. That is the perfect opportunity to bust her balls.

During the Clinton administration, Howard Stern used to give the stupid test to every model,stripper, porn star. One of the questions was, "Who's the vice president of the United States?".

Relax she is a young chick.

Chicks don't know politics or care much for it, those things don't concern her. What concerns her are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's/girl name on her underwear, hair dresser appointment, how she looks naked etc etc....

Be glad that she knows who you are lol

Too bad his IQ has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
Thank you Deus ex Pianoforte, a man with some sense.

Fight Club...YES. These things do not concern me. Rogaine, Viagra, Martha Stewart...or is she just polishing brass on the Titanic?

One of my favorite lines: "We're a society of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need."



Appreciated. Now if I could introduce you to a few friends of mine... :eek:
Thank you Deus Ex Pianoforte. Finally....at long last....an American who knows what's goin' on outside his/her own state!!
