Hehe ... good one!
George and Laura Bush and Bill and Hillary Clinton are traveling by train to
the Super Bowl. At the station George and Laura each buy a ticket and watch
as Bill and Hillary buy just one ticket. "How are the two of you going to
travel on only one ticket?" asks George W, astonished at what he is seeing.
"Watch and learn," answers Hillary.
They all board the train. George and Laura take their respective seats but
Bill and Hillary cram into a toilet together and close the door. Shortly
after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets.
He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just
a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand... The conductor
takes it and moves on.
The Bushes see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea, so after
the game they decide to try a similar plan on the return trip.
When they get to the station, they see the Clinton's at the window buying a
single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Clinton's see
that the Bushes don't buy any ticket at all. "Aren't you taking a terrible
chance by traveling without a ticket?" says Hillary. "Live and learn,"
answers Laura Bush.
When they board the train the Bushes cram themselves into a toilet and the
Clintons cram into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after the train
leaves the station, George W. leaves their toilet and walks over to the
Clinton's toilet, knocks on their door and says, "Ticket, please."
And you're still trying to figure out how the Democrats lost that election?

A traveller wandering on an island inhabited entirely by cannibals comes
upon a butcher shop. This shop specialised in human brains differentiated
according to source. The sign in the shop read:
Artists' Brains $9/oz
Philosophers' Brains $12/oz
Scientists' Brains $15/oz
Republicans' Brains $19/oz
Democrats' Brains $2,000/oz
Upon reading the sign, the traveller noted, "My those Democrats' brains must
be popular!"
To which the butcher replied, "Are you kidding! Do you have any idea how
many Democrats you have to kill to get a ounce of brains?!"

No need to think. Just get cable TV. The talking heads will
tell you what to think. No need to read newspapers, they'll
tell you everything you need to know, never mind that the
newspaper have stories are written by people on the scene
while the talking heads read from scripts written in their
studios. No need to read history, they'll tell you what it was,
never mind that they never studied history themselves. No
need to read science, they'll tell you all about Nature, never
mind that they never studied science themselves. No need to
read the Constitution, they'll tell you what it means, never mind
that they never read it themselves. No need to listen to
what anyone has to say or read what hey have written themselves,
the talking heads will tell you what they said or wrote, never
mind that they weren't listening and didn't read for themselves.
No need to read at all. They'll tell you what to think.
If you insist on suing the internet, you don't need to go
to webpages put up by organizations and people who
are expert in their fields. You can just go to moveon.org,
freerepublic.com, newsmax, or utube and the people
there will summarize for you. Never mind that they don't
have any education or experience, or do any reasearch
on the subject matter before they write.
But if you do decide to read, if you do decide to think, if
you do decide to think, don't you dare tell anyone what
you learn. Not unless you cant to be called a communist,
neocon, conspiracy nut, liberal, atheist, theocrat, or traitor.
After all, no good person would ever contradict someone
who gets paid to tell the public how to think, in a market
where his salary depends on the exposure he receives,
independent of the accuracy of what he says, and right
or wrong depends on which politicians you support,
independently of fact.

Great!, Now you're picking on Polish people. :)
Truth in humor. A concept which will divide a nation.
The man from Nantucket is no longer.
All political humour is toast.
Two Polish guys are digging a hole. The foreman is standing at the
edge looking in.
The one digger says: "Why is it that HE gets to stand up there and WE
are digging our asses off?"
The other digger says: " I'll go up and ask him."
"My buddy and I want to know, how come you get to stand up there and
watch us, and we are slugging out guts out?"
The foreman says: "It is a thing called intelligence." "I'll show you
what I mean."
He walks up to a tree and puts his hand on it. He tells the digger:
"Now hit my hand as hard as you can."
Digger sees an opportunity to really give it to the man and round-
houses with all he's got.
The foreman, just in time, pulls his hand away as the digger's
knuckles smash into the bark of the tree with a sickening crunch.
"THAT, you idiot, is called intelligence," says the foreman.
Bleeding, and in pain, the diggers climbs down the ladder into the
hole and his buddy asks; "did you find out?"
Digger replies: "Yup, it's a thing called intelligence." He then puts
his hand in front of his face and says: "I'll show you....go ahead,
hit my hand!"

A man walked into a cowboy bar and ordered a beer just as President Bush
appeared on the television. After a few sips, he looked up at the
television and mumbled, "Now, there's the biggest horse's ass I've ever
seen." A customer at the end of the bar quickly stood up, walked over to
him, and decked him. A few minutes later, as the man was finishing his
beer, Mrs. Bush appeared on the television. "She's a horse's ass too,"
the man. This time, a customer at the other end of the bar quickly stood
up, walked over to him, and knocked him off his stool. "Damn it!" the
man said, climbing back up to the bar. "This must be Bush country!"
"Nope," the bartender replied. "Horse country!"

Gotta admit, that was the biggest joke so far. :)
One day in the future, Bill Clinton has a heart attack and dies. He
immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him. "I don't know
what to do here," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room
for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going
to do. I've got a couple folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll
let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let you
decide who leaves."
Clinton thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the first
room. In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and
surfacing empty handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell.
"No," Bill said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think
I could do that all day long."
So the devil led him to the next room. In it was Newt Gingrich with a
sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer,
time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I
would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day,"
commented Bill.
The devil opened a third door. In it, Clinton saw Jesse Jackson lying on the
floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread
eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.
Clinton took this in in disbelief and finally said, "Yea, I can handle
this."
The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go!"

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore were in an airplane that crashed.
They're up in heaven, and God's sitting on the great white throne. God
addresses Al first.
"Al, what do you believe in?"
Al replies, "Well, I believe that the combustion engine is evil and that we
need to save the world from CFCs and that if any more freon is used, the
whole earth will become a greenhouse and we'll all die."
God thinks for a second and says "Okay, I can live with that. Come and sit

God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?"
Bill replies, "Well, I believe in power to the people. I think people should
be able to make their own choices about things and that no one should ever
be able to tell someone else what to do. I also believe in feeling people's

God thinks for a second and says "Okay, that sounds good. Come and sit at my

A couple of years back, a Midland, Texas guy who was sound asleep on a
rainy wet night was aroused from his slumbers by a drunk pounding on his
door at 3:00 AM. His wife tells him to go answer the door so he
grudgingly gets up and goes to the door.
A neighbor, slurring his words and obviously drunk says, "I need a
push!". The guy says, "Dagnabit Georgie, it's 3:00 AM. No! I can't help
you." He slams the door and goes back to bed.
And his wife says, "What was that all about?"
The guy says, "It was the Bush boy -- been a drinking again too -- big
time. He wanted a push. I sent him packing. It's 3 o'clock in the
morning. I'm not about to go out in the rain at this hour for that dang
fool!"
The wife reminded him that they had been in a similar situation down in
the creek at Red Rock and that at about the same hour in the morning,
they pounded on a door and got the help they needed. She shamed him and,
feeling guilty, he got back up, put on his pants and raincoat and went
outside. George the Lesser was nowhere to be seen.
He hollered, "Do you still need help?" Hey Georgie, do you still need a
push?" Off in the distance, he hears a slurred response, "Yeah! I still
need a push." The guy says, "Well where in tarnation are you boy?" The
drunk responds, "I'm over here on the swing!

It's interesting how folks (other than Senator Clinton) that have never
heard nor been anywhere a shot was fired in anger become authorities on
warfare or behavior under fire.
Yeah I read the book.

Facts are stubborn things. Including the fact that the unemployment rate is,
right now, one in twenty. Not one in two.

Prosperity, yes. Peace, WTF?
The US began 1992 already embroiled in a civil war
in Africa and proceeded to intervene in Europe twice
during the remainder of the decade.
That most Americans do not remember and perhaps even
at the time did not know that the United States went to war
in Europe twice between 1992 and 2000 is testament not
only to the abysmal ignorance of the American populace
and the irresponsibility of the American Press and media,
but is also testament to the quality and skill of the political
leadership, the officer corps, and the rank and file of US
personnel who rapidly brought both conflicts to a conclusion
favored by the US with a minimum of casualties despite
fighting against both the formal military of a modern European
nation, whose soldiers did not desert when the first shot was
fired, and simultaneous conflict with allied or cobelligerant
guerrilla forces.
Who would have guessed that a draft-dodger would have
been such a successful Commander in Chief?

You must be a product of the public education system. Where else can 5%
become 50% if that bolsters your argument?

It doesn't matter what depth, wisdom, flavour or wit a funny post may
contain, SOMEbody will be irked by it. IRKED, I say!
The Dutch speak of people "met lange tenen" (thass right, you creepy
little spell-checker, you). Literally translated, that means people with
long toes easily stepped on.
These days, everybody seems to have some sore point. Personally, I grab
my gun and go to church.
Then there are those who bitch and moan about the spam. I don't like it
either. But then, a spark of humour flares up amongst the ON topic
posts, and sure as shit, some Wrecker has to throw a bucket of cold
water on it. Can't have any fun, no, no, no..there was a wrong WORD in a
sentence...OMGWTF!!!11!! Splash!! Cold water!! "I'm having an
opportunity to correct somebody and show off my in-depth wisdom!!!"
Then again, political threads bring out the worst in people...even in a
joke-based thread.
The subject said: "Political HUMOR!!!!", assholes!!!!
Humor, was, of course, spelled wrong... it is HUMOUR!.
Keep that unique sense of humOUr coming there, jo3:16hn! AND all the
other merry wrecksters! You know who you are. Don't ever change!
I'll be here all week. Try the veal and don't forget to tip your
waitress.

Ok,
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose
hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, a doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to
former Texas Governor, George W. Bush, and his elevation to the White House.
The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a post turtle."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post
turtle' was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you
come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post
turtle."
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctors face, so he continued to
explain, "You know he didnt get there by himself, he doesn't belong
there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just want
to help the dumb sh** get down!"

Things Republicans Believe
Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a
conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers
for your recovery.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest
national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but
crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.
"Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their
jobs to India.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind
without regulation.
Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in
speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for
governor of California as a Republican.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then
demand their cooperation and money.
HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health
care to all Americans is socialism.
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
creationism should be taught in schools.
Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy
made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad
guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable
offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which
thousands die is solid defense policy.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution,
which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George
Bush's driving record is none of our business.
You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft
can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but
what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade
with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Why yes it is.
The Republicans still control the Executive and Judiciary.
The Senate is evenly divided between Democrats and
Republicans, 48 - 48. The House is controlled by the
Democrats..but only by a simple majority.
So at this point Republicans cannot pass legislation
opposed by the Democrats, and the Democrats cannot
override a veto.
So they cannot reverse the trends of the last seven
years. At best they can only slow them.

That's what you get for using local, legal, labor. You get to know
folks. Hopefully, either Hillary or Barak can be elected to keep the
supply of illegals flowing freely so you can hire them instead. It
makes layoffs so much more emotionally simple ...

Because they're smarter. Because neither of them is a former Marine,

True. The Republicans have done so much to dam the flow, we need to

I still find it really hard to lay off an employee just because it
will improve my bottom line.... especially if the sunnuvabitch works
as hard as I.

Last I checked, from the end of January, 2001 to the beginning
of January, 2007 the Republicans controlled all three branches
of the Federal government including, with Cheney's tie-breaking
vote, the Senate.
It has been particularly amusing to hear so-called-Republicans
criticizing the 'out-of-control' Judiciary considering that the
USSC has had at least a 7 of 9 (where have I heard that before?)
Republican Majority for over 20 years.

Naw that is not really true. It has been my experience that an illegal will
simply not show up for work and leave you high and dry.
(PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT ENDORSE THE FOLLOWING - BUT IT'S TOO DAMN
GOOD NOT TO PASS ON)
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so
many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal
Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of
higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words,
redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was
a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on
the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat
with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an
evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day
she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on
the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed
objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she
indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing
in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a
4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting
that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly
studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people
she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really
have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"
She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy
classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so
popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to
all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for
classes because she's too hung over." Her father asked her, "Why
don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your
GPA and give it to your friend Audrey, who only has a 2.0. That way
you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and
equal distribution of GPA." "The daughter, visibly shocked by her
father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea. How
would that be fair? I've worked really hard for my grades! I've
invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work. Audrey has done next
to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the
Republican Party."

I seem to recall that even before that, Newt and his boys, with their
contract on America, controlled both houses, and loved trampling on
anything the Clintons brought forth.

Perhaps some day Fred will realize that "Republican" and "appointed by a
Republican president" have different meanings.
William Brennan and Harry Blackmun, for instance, were appointed by Republican
presidents... but it's surely quite a stretch of the imagination to think that
either one of them was a Republican in anything more than name, if even that.

The Clintons (Mr. and Mrs. President)? Until Newt and the his boys became
(using your favorite term and one of mine also) assholes, they were doing
pretty well. Now we have Nancy. She's proven to be a superb leader,
hasn't she? She couldn't even get Murtha through (unindited co-
conspiritor (Abscam if you have forgotten)). But then, Murtha was a
fellow Marine (as was I). Bill had a ball being president. I don't think
he ever took the job seriously. If he had, he could have been pretty
good. The Clintons are now richer than most Republicans. Why is that, I
wonder?

Do you think a Republican President would nominate a Democrat,
or even an independent to the USSC?

A fair number of eople familiar with the Eisenhower, Nixon, and

as Republicans, other than in name only.

I dunno about you, but I personally would prefer to to touch, trample,
or otherwise come near anything either of the Clintons bring forth -

Though spelling flames are discouraged on UseNet I daresay you

My goodness, I have pricked your sensibilities. You and a few others
here certainly lead a life filled with fear and trembling. This is an
attempt at humor. It's a joke, son. It need not be factual nor have
any elements of truth in it. Ever laughed at a Clinton joke? Need use
of the absurd lead to personal insult?
That said, any perceived slights were not directed at any of you.

Cheney gets a call from his "boss", W.
"I've got a problem," says W.
"What's the matter?" asks Cheney.
"Well, you told me to keep busy in the Oval Office, so, I got a jigsaw
puzzle, but it's too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can't
find any edges."
"What's it a picture of?" asks Cheney.
"A big rooster," replies W.
"All right," sighs Cheney, "I'll come over and have a look."
So he leaves his office and heads over to the Oval Office. W points at

Cheney looks at the desk and then turns to W and says, "For crying out
loud, Georgie - put the corn flakes back in the box."

ISTR both terms being around for far longer than the Republican
Party campaign against the Federal Judiciary, 60% of whose
justices were appointed by Republican Presidents.
Oddly enough, you don;t hear those terms applied when a
Justice like Scalia uses the ICC to uhold a law regulating
local agricultural produce in which there is NO interstate
commerce. Perhaps he is more concerned with whether
or not something is, IHO, a good idea than he is with
whether or not it falls under the authority for the Federal
Government.

Or "legislating from the bench" or "activist judges." All terms
coined, I suspect. by either Lee Atwater or Karl Rove.

Whenever someone says "out of control Judiciary", I hear "I don't like the
decision". No one ever complains about a out of control Judiciary when the
decision goes their way.
