Terror by Two Falls and a Submission.

I'm not sure the smart money is on terror tonight, Luc. There was at least a mention a day in the news until Nov. 1, but lately not so much. The terrorists were probabably more active before the election. Now everybody wants to be an insurgent.

Of course he'll have to give them a nod. Leaving terrorists out of the speech would be like winning the Oscar® and forgetting to thank your producer.

Yes, but didn't he manage an entire inagural speech without the word Iraq? :confused:

Its very hard on me being a blue stuck in a red state. When I think of the word "Strateeeegery" I think of a Will Ferrel skit he did, cracks me up.
 
No one's put down bets for "liberty" yet?
If I remember his convention speech (and I try very hard not to) "liberty" and "times of change" were two things he repeated about 200 times each.

Anyone watch Whose Line Is It Anyway? They have a game called Scenes From a Hat, in which the audience puts suggestions on a peice of paper and the comedians have to come up with somethng on the fly. Last night I was watching.

"What's really going through George W. Bush's head during cabinet meetings."

"There isn't even a cabinet in here."

haha I saw that one. It was spooky - I think it was a
re-inactment!
 
Ah, I missed the address, although I just saw a clip. What was the bit with the Iraqi woman and the Marine's parents?

I say he's botched the war from the beginning. Not one person who has some control over the US military has read the most basic military writings. One thing that every military genius (who lived to publish) said: NEVER fight Irregular military when they are fanatically driven by a major difference in beliefs, and especially not in their own land!!!! The more you fight, the more appear!
 
Jesus Jumpin up Christ! This is fuckin' hilarious. Gimmee Ted (Chappadquiddick) Kennedy, Twat Pelosi, fink Reid, Yahoo! DNC prospect, what the fuck was his name....

The Demo's, left wing liberals, really have no agenda at all aside Bash Bush. What else is new?

What a joke! Big question for 2008, what political party will replace the now defunct Democrats?

Bring back Dickless Clinton, at least he was funny.


Or maybe his long suffering spouse, who is doing the bunny hop to center stage (double entendre)

Oh, Happy Days (with apologies to the song and the tv show) Republicans and a Congressional majority for 12 years in a row, alack alas woe is me, perhaps we will indeed get rid of PBS, and NEA and open up the Alaskan oil fields!

Good times are on the way!

the infectuous amicus...
 
You make a good point, Amicus. Things are going well. Life under Clinton was a swirling vortex of poverty, joblessness, terrorism and mayhem. Now, at least, there is hope...

Wait, no. Clinton was the other one. This is the president with the poverty, terrorism and mayhem.

My bad!

My husband and I are blue in a SEA of red. We try to have fun with it. He has a "Good bush (half naked lady) bad bush T-shirt
I have a "I Still Hate George Bush" and we dress the baby in a "MY IQ is HIgher then the Presidents"

We like to dress up and go in to the most conservitive parts of town for lunch. The looks are priceless

Oh yeah and for the poll: How about
We will fight terror with freedom and bring democracy to all?
 
I can hardly wait to get The Blue States of America underway. We'll have the best states from both coasts, plus Manhattan and the movie industry, with Chicago in our camp to keep the "Heartland" nervous. (Will we send our homosexuals to convert your men? Don't drop the soap, Heartland!)

We already have a flag. The blue ground was a no-brainer, but the best part is how the slogan on the flag acknowledges the big, vacant red divide that abutts both halves of our new nation. It says "I'M WITH STUPID."

Garrison Keiller has agreed to be Interim President. I'm for letting him be President for Life until he starts to get lazy, or piss me off. I'm frankly not that big a fan of democracy anymore. Not since Nov. 2004 proved that Nov. 2000 wasn't a fluke.

But we can discuss the whole elected-leadership thing when we write the constitution. Maybe the geographic lobotomy will solve the problem.

You in?
 
I'm in. I'll be your general. Give me a rubber band gun and I'll break the entire US Military (I can't get one myself. Stupid court order...)
