The Guild 8-11-04 What Would Ben Franklin Think of John Kerry?

Ben Franklin would probably be writing kerry's obituary as kerry would have been found guilty and been executed for treason against new America.

Should I get busy developing seat belts for thrones?

Good news that they survived the havoc, pm.

More fader for the vrwc...

[Timeout]

"fader"....my new "favoritest" word.

LOL!

[mountaineer]

So much for the value of the Harvard graduate degree earned by Kerry's ex-tart. Fader, indeed - just don't feed it to your cattle.

Al Gore's speeding ticket, or how the environmental nut proved just to be another guy driving a Lincoln 77 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone.

I'm probably dating myself, but it remeinds me of ...

Hello mudder...hello fadder
Here I am at...Camp Grenada.

I think I've finally figured out Kerry's Iraq strategy:

1) Declare he'll begin withdrawing troops within 6 months of being elected. DONE

2) IF he wins, insurgents go quiet. Within 3 or 4 months the press takes note, saying all's quiet on the Iraq front.

3) Kerry declares victory and brings troops home.

4) Immediately, insurgents ignite civil war all over Iraq. Kerry, Edwards and other donkeys declare how fortunate we are that OUR troops aren't involved anymore (completely ignoring the violence would NOT be happending if Kerry had left U.S. troops there!).

5) Media lauds Kerry's precience and declares the Democrats have finally overcome their disadvantage on foreign policy. (Never mind that Iraq is riven by terrorism and civil war. We never should have gone there in the first place, don't ya see?!)

We'll call it the "To-Hell-with-Iraqis Plan".

(Never mind that Iraq is riven by terrorism and civil war. We never should have gone there in the first place, don't ya see?!)

The Dems certainly are selective about which bloody civil wars concern the U.S. and warrant military intervention - the Balkans, yes; Africa, no.

Guess her allowance check from Mama T came through...

The site is "temporarily disabled" this morning.

That's the ugliest sofa I ever saw. It looks like toothless gums.

Camp Grenada

Surely one of the lamest tunes ever recorded.

Thanks for the memories, TO.

grannie9's a witch with her photo proggies.

Ha! That's great.

[mountaineer]

LOL, I see a big payoff in the self-published novelist's future, thanks to Mama T (along the lines of "just keep your $*#@ mouth shut!").

Not a lame tune, but lame lyrics to a fine tune: I present my song parody to the tune of "White Christmas," with apologies to Irving Berlin:

Verse:

The war is raging
I'm on my boat
Ferrying CIA.
There's never been such a day
Here or on Cam Ranh Bay.
But it's December the 24th
We're fighting gooks from Vietnam north ...

Chorus:

I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
Although there'll be no snow or ice.
On a secret mission
With bullets whizzing
Ouch! My butt's shot full of rice.

I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
With every Charlie that I shoot.
Nixon's war is stealing my youth
Hope the girl I marry has some loot.

I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
Just like the one I never knew.
Wonder why my shipmates
Express such deep hate
For me, I really have no clue.

I'm dreaming of a Cambodian Christmas
I hope my gift's a Purple Heart.
War crimes in which I played a part
Will give my political career a start.

[lodwick]

Well done, thanks. ;-)

What's the most interesting thing about this cartoon from the Charlotte Observer?

Answer: It assumes the reader knows all about the Kerry/Cambodia kerfuffle. BUT, the story has not been mentioned in the Observer (or any other mainstream paper). Yet the cartoonist is comfortable that his readers will get it. This is a fine example of a story making its impact on the web despite the MSM's best attempts to stifle it.

[mountaineer]

That's exactly what Mr. M and I were discussing earlier. We know all about the umpteen lies Kerry has told about his Vietnam service, but all Joe SixPack knows - because that's all the MSM have told him - is that Effin was a "hero." Pathetic. We must get the word out to every veteran we know!

[They'reGone2000]

We couldn't make this stuff up...

Are the secret service guys rolling their eyes?

U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) (D-MA) stands on the front desk in the lobby of his hotel to thank the crowd of cheering supporters who greeted him in Charlotte, North Carolina.
