...How does Bush know his advisers are better informed than
journalists in Iraq, and how does he know what the media is saying if he
never watches, listens to, or reads it? While the Democrats are having a
serious and necessary debate about where they stand on foreign policy, the
White House is trying desperately to keep Republicans in line, to show that
dissent on Iraq is "just a Democrat thing."...
GEORGE Bush was last night branded chicken for scrapping his
speech to Parliament because he feared being heckled by anti-war MPs.
The US president planned to give a joint address to the Commons and Lords
during his state visit to Britain...Tony Blair gave a joint address to the
American Senate and Congress in July.
I wonder if W will wear his flight suit and
helmet when he stays at Buckingham Palace? Maybe Tony will let W land on a
British aircraft carrier.

A lady bought a new Lexus.
Cost a bundle. Two days later, she brought it back, complaining that the radio
was not working.
"Madam," said the sales manager, "the audio system in this car is completely
automatic. All you need to do is tell it what you want to listen to, and you
will hear exactly that!"
She drove out, somewhat amazed and a little confused. She looked at the radio
and said, "Nelson." The radio responded, "Ricky or Willie?" She was astounded.
If she wanted Beethoven, that's what she got. If she wanted Nat King Cole, she
got it.
She was stopped at a traffic light enjoying "On The Road Again" when the light
turned green and she pulled out. Suddenly an enormous sports utility vehicle
coming from the street she was crossing sped toward her, obviously not paying
attention to the light. She swerved and narrowly missed a collision.
"Idiot!" she yelled and, from the radio, "Ladies and gentlemen, the President of
the United States."

"They say women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the
filibuster was invented by men." ~Clare Booth Luce
"If combat
means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for
thirty days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength.
I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand, men are
basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it,
doesn't matter, you know. These things are very real. On the other hand, if
combat means being on an Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for
twelve ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically better than a
male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because
males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes." Newt Gingrich
