Taking a collection
« on: February 12, 2007, 11:26:11 AM »
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on US 95 south of  Washington .

Nothing is moving north or south. Suddenly a man knocks on his window.

The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?" What's the hold up?"

"Terrorists have kidnapped Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and John Kerry. They are asking for a $100 million ransom or they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car taking up a collection."

The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?"

"About a gallon"

Eldar, I thought you're too old (as I am) to say "Dude!".   ;D

God bless George Bush

Not caving? No he is just taking away your rights as you sit there an read this. He pressures the media to over look things and threatens them if they dont saying they are harming national security.

Bush did a n executive order that says if you are declared a terrorist, you can be taken away with out ANY concern for your rights. No one has a right to know where you are at, you have no right to a trial. You can be held indefinately with no actual charges brought against you. You do NOT get a trial of your peers, you get a military style tribunal.

Bush has also signed a pres order squashing public demonstrations against him.  He has now admitted that there were no WMDs in Iraq.

GWB a pussy, certainly not but the worst president ever? Quite possibly. He has driven our country into debt that if we were to get out of it, EVERY family would need to pay in over 50,000 dollars. Dont know about you but I dont have 50000. He has also done everything possible to stop ANY type of federal minimum wage raise. Do you think you could live off of 5:25 an hours? Not likely unless you lived with mommy. Other states have seen this and raised their own minimum wage standards.

Oh as another afront to our liberties and our states, he signed yet another pres note taking the power AWAY from the states to call out THEIR OWN national guard. SO guess what, if your state has an emregency, you better hope bush is in a good mood or he could say NO to your state activating its guard units.
Had clinton or any other dem done anything like this, he would been impeached right away. yet bush had the repub congrss to back him.

Have a nice day and try reading something that does not come from cnn or fox news.

  I know this is the Humour Forum and maybe this topic, if it continues, should be moved, but Eldar raises some important issues about US policy that affect all of us.  For anyone interested in reading a viewpoint generated outside of the mainstream US media, here is an article from CBC Canada.  http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_kinsman/20070219.html 
 This has not been posted to provoke my American pals, God love all of you ;) :),in fact the man on the street should be pleased,  but the conclusions corroborate  the general feeling that I sense toward our southern neighbors where I live.  A key quote from the article - "Polling evidence shows that most of the negative opinion is about what America  does, as opposed to what America is."

Can I live in Australia then?   ;D



And Cadler, Bush obviously has real problems standing up to Congress...  Just look at the first 7 years of his reign.  How many times did he Veto a bill passed by the House and Senate?  He's supposed to act as a check and balance against the legislative side of government, and in that regard failed miserably by caving to his party's demands.  How could refusing to stand up to his Constitutional duty NOT make him a pussy?

And that is all I will say on the subject.  On with the humor!
