The writer wanted people to send him weird rumors about Obama that "baggers" believe.
I thought I was signing up for the first time, and when I tried to login under my email address, they informed me that "Your account has been deleted from Huffington Post."
Had they seen that I tried to cut and paste this to dispute their notion that Obama was smarter than Romney?
"Upon his return, he married his high school sweetheart, Ann, and soon after, enrolled in Brigham Young University. He graduated in 1971 with a Degree in English, with a 3.97GPA. His young family then moved to Boston, and Mitt enrolled in both Harvard Law (HLS) and Harvard Business School (HBS). He obtained his MBA from HBS in 1975 and graduated cum laude from HLS with his Juris Doctor the same year, finishing in the top 5% of his class."
Or had they somehow spied on me and got wind of my Romney donation this evening?
I was just getting used to their site, so come election night ( if FP went down), I could have some fun with them.
Does Huffington Post have spies on us?
FP=FR

Obama flunked lunch at Columbia!
About Obama as “Mensa material”:
I’m a member of Mensa. Full disclosure: I am down at the very bottom of where you can be to get into Mensa. But it has been a very fun organization for me (we have a lot of geeky parties!). More to the point, I now know a LOT of very, very intelligent people, most of them smarter than me ... and friends, I am here to testify that Obama does not fit the profile. He’s what we call an “overachiever”: Someone who has worked their butt off to reach the top, but in terms of their mental agility and acuity, they just don’t cut it. If Obama is truly “our smartest President,” then God help us all, because we’ll need it!
They have had a hard time convincing him to come back for their homecoming week. The Mensa in Chielf (not!) would rather hang out or hide within the skirts of their counterpart.
‘“Obama’s decision to speak at Barnard has caused some heated reactions among Columbia students,” the Columbia Spectator reported in March.
“Emilio Fajardo … said that the decision ‘seems like a slap in the face’ to Columbia,” the paper wrote, quoting a Columbia sophomore. “Sean Udell, CC ’11 and president of the class of 2011, spearheaded the POTUS Project, a campaign to convince Obama to speak at Columbia’s commencement ceremony last year.”
“‘I’m shocked and happy that Barnard will get to have Obama speak at their commencement,’ Udell said. ‘I’m quite disappointed, of course, that President Obama spoke to our sister school, instead of his alma mater.’”
.... He is probably an Affirmative Action MENSA.
GPA BS. I had a very wise high school English teacher in my Soph and Senior years. He always said a few things about IQ and GPA.
IQ is like a bucket, if you have a big bucket (high score) but you only fill it up half way, what a waste. It is better to have a smaller bucket and have it overflowing with knowledge.
GPA, via personal experience. If you were to see my GPA for my associates degree, I’d be laughed out of the HR office. Hey, full time college was not for me. My bachelors was a 3.79, my masters was a 3.89. In 25 years I have only come to the conclusion that those last two numbers kept my resume out of the trash. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but by no means the dullest either, I get my job done with the best of my abilities and always look for a way to learn something new everyday.
2.6? Yeh thats real Harvard Law Review material.
Silly headline.
There are a good many Mensa qualifiers who did poorly in school.
