Bushiness as Usual - Grant Gerver, www.seriouskidding.com

"The man who is described often as the architect of the Iraq war, Paul Wolfowitz, who went on to be the head of the World Bank, is finally stepping down. Leave it to the Bush people to find the one Jew who can't run a bank." --Bill Maher

Bush vs. Michael Moore
Moore's documentary "Sicko" - a ferocious attack on the U.S. health care industry - is the talk of the film festival, and he is hot property. Moore caught his breath Monday to tell The Associated Press about the urgent need to reform America's health system, and why he thinks the Bush administration is out to get him.

son of talk radio
relationship counselor Laura Schlessinger is under investigation for a
graphic personal Web page that one Army official has called "repulsive."
The MySpace page, publicly available until Friday when it disappeared from the
Internet, included cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child
molestation; photographs of soldiers with guns in their mouths; a photograph of
a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned "My Sweet Little Habib"; accounts of
illicit drug use; and a blog entry headlined by a series of obscenities and
racial epithets.

McCain Mental Health Update
Republican John McCain accused presidential rival Mitt Romney of flip-flopping on immigration Monday and said with sarcasm: ``Maybe his solution will be to get out his small varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his lawn.''
"It looks like the Senate and the president have finally agreed on an immigration bill. ... This one looks like it could become law and, of course, nobody likes it. The conservatives say the bill gives amnesty to the illegals. The liberals say it doesn't go far enough to protect the hardworking immigrants here in America. And the L.A.P.D. doesn't know who to beat up." --Bill Maher

Subject: This may explain a lot.
Lisa,
This may explain a lot.
Many will recall that, on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed an unidentified
object, with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch
just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well-known incident many say
has long been covered up by the United States Air Force and the federal
government.
However, what you may NOT know, is that in the month of March 1948,
exactly nine months later, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld,
Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condoleezza Rice, and Dan Quayle were all
born.
Does this, or does this not, EXPLAIN EVERYTHING?????
Jim
Truth is stranger than
fiction, eh? LOL If only it were true! Bush was born July 6, 1946, Cheney was
born January 30, 1941, Donald Rumsfeld, July 9, 1932, Bill O'Reilly, born
September 10, 1949, Condoleezza Rice, born November 14, 1954, Dan Quayle, born
February 4, 1947 and I don't think Rush Limbaugh was born per say, I believe he was
hatched from the Great OxyContin Factory in the sky.
Thanks for writing and the laugh.
