Terry McConman's strategies make Republican hearts coruscate, but he may be challenged by Maynord Jackson again for the DNC chair.

I guess the best possible scenario would be for McConman to win after a bloody divisve blood bath.

Well we now have something else to WORRY about. When it does happen, it will be a coruscant event.

Homework:

Darth Widow was thrown out of the Senate Nov 5.... Perhaps in a few years, we'll see the evil pair of Clintons, Emperor Palatwins, also get dethroned.

It is only a matter of time until the lights begin coming back on in Coruscant, formerly capital planet of the Stars Wars trilogy.

The croquettes have got together and decided what they want to make something that will be fun to grow for the next Arts & Crafts Show 'N Tell Fair.

Can we fire the clowns too? Or will the coquettes be pluggin' their holes?

This one would be a lot funnier if I didn't have to censor it:

A reporter goes to Israel to cover the fighting. She is looking for something emotional and positive and of human interest. Something like that guy in Sarajevo who risked his life to play the cello everyday in the town square.

In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She goes to the Wailing Wall and there he is! She watches him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.

"Rebecca Smith, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall and praying?"

"For about 50 years."

"What do you pray for?"

"For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the hatred to stop. For all of our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

"How do you feel after doing this for 50 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a f****** wall."

The race had begun
it was moving fast
I knew deep inside
I wouldn't, nor
couldn't last
with a smile
on my lips..
I shifted gears
and let her rip!

They saw me coming
and stepped aside
a wide girth I took
on the oval tracks
right side
in this race I was
swinging wide
then hit wall
and left some hide!

They scattered here,
and scattered there,
racers
scattering every where...
Oh, where would this all
end?
Me in back
scattered again!

LOL

I don't know if this qualifies for your thread, however, Argh has inspired me to write this pome!

I assume that WFTD membership is forever?

You have to really annoy the teachers to get off of the WFTD list. Or you can simply ask to be removed. :-)

I stole the take on Abbott and Costello's bit. I was accused of stealing a jeep once in my reckless youth, but nothing ever came of it because I didn't do it.
