I report to you from the trenches. No, not the ones in Iraq, though I wish our troops the very best in these trying times, I am reporting to you from the supposed heart of liberalism: academia. Yes, I am just another college student in the brave red Midwest. However, change is swirling in the wind as it promenades across campus. In it is the sweet smell of victory. Even here, liberalism is crumbling, succumbing to a more conservative status quo.
In an informal poll of people living in my dormitory, nearly as many voted for Bush as for Kerry; and this is a traditionally liberal university! I am glad to see it, too. No longer are my Evangelical brethren condemnded for spreading the Good Word. They may now harrass international students and freshman with near impunity, for their cause is just, it being ordained by the Lord.
As on television and other forms of mass media, intelligent debate has been replaced with quick soundbites between more-or-less liberal students and their more conservative moral superiors. The liberals on campus have proven themselves unworthy of genuine debate; their arguments never amount to more than ad hominem attacks against Bush's intelligence and integrity.
Professors and the university administration now follow a tacit agreement, and that is to avoid controversy and conserve the status quo. Teaching about such ideas as socialism and moral relativism has been sidelined, finally. Ignorance is an acceptable substitute for offering students all points of view and allowing them to form their own conclusions. After all, when young people begin thinking for themselves, burning draft cards and general unrest are not far behind.
Ladies and gentlemen, now is an exciting time to be a conservative!

I really thought this one was too cute for words.
I'll take one "Crabwear".
...XL, please. ;^)

I'm thinking this is one of those slackers who missed out on Moore's free underwear, and then slept all through November 2. He just needs to come to terms with the fact that not only is he a slacker with really funky smelling underpants, but also a LOSER for life.
You are totally ridiculous. No redeeming value whatsoever. bye

Are you referring to the Viking Kitty song?
Go get'em Wanderer
Paving time..................................LOL
No, I'm talking about the site your link links to.
There're T-Shirts [there] with all manner of kitties -- Viking types included -- & one shirt even has a crab with a guy's head.
The resemblence to me is striking.
I couldn't find any song, though.
Although it should be noted nothing appears inside the [main] blue filed but the dreaded small boxed red "X".
A shame.
...I'm really in the mood for a song. {g}
Gee..It works for me..I never have gone further at the site than the song..
Try it again

The old Zepplin derge, yea.
Geshhhh, and to think.

Ummmmm.
...my lapse was a gorge.
What are *you* smokin', darlin'?
