BEIJING - The world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, is 12 feet shorter than previously thought, Chinese scientists who measured the peak earlier this year said Sunday.
Their survey determined that the mountain was 29,017 feet, or 12 feet smaller than it was measured to be 30 years ago, said Chen Bangzhu, a spokesman with the Chinese State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping.
A Democratic spokesman immediately blamed George Bush's failed policies in Iraq. Karl Rove responded to the accusation with, "What's 12 feet among friends?".

Well, marxist usually do have problems with quality control.
OK, Mt. Everest is 12 feet shorter. But, who can explain the relation between Bush policy and this "mismeasurement"?
Above all, it is based on Chinese survey in 1975. Today, lots of well-equipped satellites fly above the earth. They can measure the height, and we will know the real size of this mountain.
Its Global Warming, thanks to Bush and his oil buddies.
Next will be other mountains shrinking into the earth, creating less surface area to absorb the heat... we humans are so evil!
"Well, marxist usually do have problems with quality control."
As well as every other aspect of running a business. They have no clue about economics unless the central committee orders it. Example: Chernobyl
"But, the question is what is causing it and what do we do about it?"
It's probably just mismeasurement or wind erosion. It can get quite windy at that elevation.
"..who can explain the relation between Bush policy and this "mismeasurement"?"
Shah, it was just a feeble attempt at sarcastic humor because the left always blames everything on Bush. Americans can be sarcastic in their comedy. But don't worry, I won't be appearing at any comedy clubs anytime soon.

Now G, you have a bunch of leftists that read and argue with you on your blog. You are going to give them something to run with, if you are not careful. ;)
