this kid is going to be an artist someday. i love the way she captured the red-eyed, bleary feel that basically summarizes John McCain, not to mention the way she properly represented his ego with the size of the head. however, the hair is almost Chris Doddian. i wonder if she’s confused.
ah. she must be. and to tell the truth, i believe this might actually be a cry for help. the poor girl. her parents are….republican! and the proof isn’t so much in the subject matter as it is her having the flag backwards with a select number of stars.

“Okay, everyone! All together now! ‘Nine-Eleven, Nine-Eleven, Rah! Rah! Rah!’ “
what’s really scary about this photo is the fact that Rudy has supporters. supporters who presumably believe in the constant recitation and invocation of Rudy’s 9/11 rhetoric as opposed to substantive discourse. damn, they sure make me proud to have served several years in the military to theoretically protect their right to moronism.

| looking at my Google homepage this morning, i was struck by several headlines that used the phrase ‘Dead Heat’. of course, they were talking about the New Hampshire debate, describing the closeness of Senators Obama and Clinton in the polls. but really, when i read the words ‘Dead Heat’, the idea that comes to mind is of a person in heat for dead guys. and i can think of only one. |

Republican Dotage

“Senator and Presidential Candidate John McCain (R – Lala Land) sits with Republican Apologist Joseph Lieberman (R – GiveUsBackOurVotes) during a recent political forum. Pundits are discussing a potential McCain/Lieberman ticket, which would place the collective age of president and vice-president candidates far higher than ever seen before, and would likewise constitute the first presidential bid that failed so miserably to have any clue as to what the American public actually wants from its president.
At least, however, one of them is even aware of the existence of the camera.” |

What I Want For Christmas
“This had better be good, Commander. Ah’m damn tired of you pickin’ on me all the time.”
Well, sad to say, President Bush, but it’s probably not going to be “good” from your perspective. I have a feeling that your definition of “good” is pretty much skewed beyond recognition by “good” people, anyway.
What I want for Christmas isn’t something trite like “world peace”, although, of course, that would be very nice. And what I want for Christmas isn’t overly idealistic, like “impeachment”, although that would be quite nice as well.

“Mr. President, will you be my daddy for Christmas?”
“Hell, no, boy. Yer just here for the cameras. ‘Sides, you already got a daddy.” “No, sir, I swear I don’t. Momma says I ain’t never had a daddy.” “. . . .” “Well, it’s like this, see? I’m too old ta be yer daddy. Besides, I couldn’t take you to none of the clubs I belong to.” “Why’s that, Mr. President?” “Heh.heh.heh. Let’s just say mah clubs ain’t very colorful.” “Oh, I get it. You really ARE as evil as Momma says.” “Where IS yer momma, boy? Ah’m pretty shore sumpin’ needs cleanin’ somewhere.” “That’s funny, Mr. President. Momma says no amount of scrubbin’ll ever get the Oval Office clean after eight years of your filth.” “Now waitaminnit, boy. A couple o’ seconds ago, you was wantin’ me to be yer daddy. Now yer dissin’ me right ta mah face!” “Yup, that’s right. I’ve always wanted to bust my daddy in the balls since he walked out on Momma and me. But since you screwed up everything else in our lives, I figured I’d try bustin’ yours.” “Laura, get this little shit off your damn lap. He’s a plant from Hillary.” “Oh! Hillary sent us a plant? That’s nice dear. I hope it’s a good strain of indica. That’s so much nicer than the sativa we’ve been getting.” |

In a last-ditch effort, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf attempts to “clap off” the video cameras and re-take the Pakistani army for himself, but unfortunately for him, the cameras were protected with new anti-clap technology from India. The anti-clap technology was developed by a group of telephone support personnel from Dell Computers. |
