117

If christine o'donnell is added to the above brew, the collective IQ decreases to 103.

I laughed out loud! It's too bad you weren't here to appreciate my rolling off my chair!

So that would up them over one standard deviation above average or at the 85th percentile or so. That's reasonably far up there. Did you intend this as a slam?

I am not saying that their IQs are 117 each but that when the three of them are added together, their total score is 117.

An aggregate is a collection of items that are gathered together to form a total quantity.

I am going to compare christine o'donnell to one surprising woman.

First, o'donnell:

wow! I'm Gaga

Do you look like the 'policy wonk' Gaga or are you as impressed with her presentation as I was?

I'm impressed with her passion and commitment. She is a remarkable young woman although I've never listened to her music.

I've never heard her music either and youtube is not behaving for me, to my distress.

I love those silly best dressed/worst dressed lists. I swear that once, on just such a list, the writer(s) swooned over a single shoulder gown then severely criticized another single shoulder dress. Frankly, the only difference between the dresses was the color and both women looked terrific in them. Anyway, Gaga came to some event carrying a spikey star like object that was about a foot in diameter. The writer(s) criticized her unnecessary "accessory." I thought it was neat.

I just checked her out. She started playing piano at 4 and was admitted to NYU's Tisch School of Performing Arts at 17 although she only stayed there for two years. I know someone who couldn't get into the Tisch School, despite a background in acting, singing and piano.

On a fashion note. Who'd a thunk Courtney Love would become a fashion plate?
