“Nowhere did he state this was scientific.”

“In the womb there was a sensation of compression…"

“it was my head getting squeezed a bit too hard, which explains why I now say stupid bullshit on a regular basis. Like, I remember my own birth. And, I think I’ll be a republican.”

Hey, it easy to remember when you were born if you were “born again”.

But it seems a little dangerous to do so, since the majority of those who have that second birth appear to suffer very high rates of brain damage

It would be somewhat credible if he remembers coming out of his mother’s asshole.

Well, Republicans do believe that life begins at conception and ends at birth.

“In the womb there was a sensation of compression and advancement against one side and another. This urgent pressure to burst out.”

The older one gets the less one recalls of their early years. But to say Hal Rounds recalls his birth based on a recurring dream in his youth is complete bullshit.
Drop the fucking mike.

“At first I had a brain. Then I joined the Republican Party and I distinctly remember a squeezing sensation….down there. And er, uh - then a compression of my brain. Then came a distaste for lady parts all together. From that time, I have been doing my special advancement to make sure all lady parts are controlled.”

“In the womb there was a sensation of compression and advancement against one side and another,” Rounds said. “This urgent pressure to burst out.”

Did Hal also mention that was the last time he got near any ‘lady parts’?

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

What the hell is a “conceptual memory”? Is that a new way of saying “I’m just makin’ shit up as I go”.?

This kind of feels like he heard the Overstock CEO’s whack job nonsense and said to himself: “That’s some seriously crazy bullshit… I bet I can top that!”

I do hope Mr. Rounds is not thinking of running for any elected office, especially one with actual power attached to it.
