Just had to share this...

[Halo_n_horns]

For some damn reason my business's name came up on some list to be called for people who wish to attend a dinner with Pres. Bush and his wife.

I was quick to cut the guy off and tell him simply that I was not a fan of Bush's nor had I ever supported him in any way, shape or form and would not be supporting him any time in the future. Then I said thank you, hung up, and had a good giggle.

Why the hell did my business name pop up on their call list??? What a bunch of dorks. Clearly these guys didn't put any effort into what kind of business I conduct. I'm sure that an artist of erotica would not be welcome at their dinner!

Probably a fund raiser of some sort. ALL businesses are probably on the list.

You're probably right. It sure was fun hearing the tone of the caller's voice change when I told him I wasn't a supporter. Aaaaaahhh... the simple pleasures.

Oh my god, I cannot believe you turned them down. I'd love to have a dinner with Tony Blair. I could have political arguments with him.

I'm very certain you could outwit GWB over the dinner table.

Or better still, sell him a copy of Coming Together.

I won't have a battle of wits with unarmed personnel. It's just not fair.

LOL!!!

Or better still, when you encounter him, just smile and say, "Hi! I'm <your name>. Who are you?"

My father once inadvertantly did this to the governor at his own campaign function. I recommend it to everyone.

Its crazy the amount of screening they do so that only Bush's fans get in, though...If you had accepted, I've heard that they make you sign some contract virtually pledging your loyalty (although, that could easily just be a rumor).

No rumor
And this was a taxpayer funded event they through people out of for political dissent. They have the right to do it in a political fundraiser.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!

You could read excerpts after dinner.

It may be a rumour though.

There's no such thing as freedom of speech around a Bible-thumping president. What a bunch of pansies our presidents have become.

You know, that's a great point. Oscar Wilde never sought to shut his critics up or stifle their speech; he just used their own words to make them look like idiots and his own to show his incomparable wit. Why hasn't anyone got the guts or brains to just take it any more?

Oh, I suppose I know. Really, the protesters can be just as bad, screaming and yelling over people and refusing to let them speak either. But that's the world we live in.

Even the shows when the candidates were running against one another seemed to have a pretty tight reign on who could ask what and how it was worded.

For lack of a better way of saying it, I think that most of the testosterone has been drained from the presidency.

My first thought halo, on hearing that you would be at a dinner with Shrub II, and knowing your opinion of that person, is that you would be the dinner.

Feasting on your enemies is a common barbarian ritual after all.

There ya go. You're probably right on the money. But on the bright side, because of my still portly state, I'd probably provide a great deal of flavor while simultaneously blocking every artery in their bodies.

That's the great thing about us liberals.

We poison everything around us.

This is a funny thread. Just wanted to say that.

(I love the bit about taking along copies of Coming Together!!!)

What a bunch of dirty, rotten, stinkin' libs we must be to be thinking this way! HHOOOOOWAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA...
