"I am not; the base prudish fringe of the republican party is..."

I'm as South Park as one can get.

I don't want South Park in the White House. I do want Puritan ethics in places of high leadership. If you can't live up to them, then your authority is hypocritical and undermined.

Now if you could just find a few other folk's humor, all would be well. Good grief I can't believe what people get upset about.

This was a roast, not a state of the union address, and she made the same jokes the hired comedian would have in the tradition of this event. I don't see it as more admirable for them to just sit and laugh and blush while others make jokes. By telling the jokes themselves, the Bushes show that they are comfortable in their skins and you can't hurt them with jokes.

Phooey, and I don't care what you think. I've worn myself out trying to reason with you people.

LOL -- by accident, I deleted my link to it when I cleaned out my FR mail. It's one of Howlin's and my favorites.

Nice! Thank you. I think I'll borrow your little graphic and save it for future appropriate occasions. Perhaps to post on the endless "runaway bride" threads.

The real outrage is NOT what Laura Bush said.

It's the fact that she has now validated Desperate Housewives as something other than the absolute insult that it is to love and family; nothing less than a show to promote slutting, cheating, divorce, and other liberal degeneracy.

(But TEE-HEE! It's funny!!)


"If that is all it takes for you to abandon the Republican Party ..."

RINOs do not leave the party to head more Rightward. Maybe radicals do, but that's fine with me.

To Beat a Dead Horse.....

Dakota Tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. A recently declassified Pentagon document indicates that people in the Pentagon try other strategies. Specifically there are 22 separate and distinct strategies that people in the Pentagon try when they discover they are riding a dead horse:

1. Buy a stronger whip.
2. Change riders.
3. Say things like, "This is the way we've always ridden this horse."
4. Arrange to visit other sites to see how they ride their dead horses.
5. Increase the standards to ride dead horses.
6. Appoint a Tiger Team to revive the dead horse.
7. Create a training session to increase riding ability.
8. Pass legislation that declares, " The horse is not dead."
9. Harness several Dead Horses together for increased speed.
10. Declare with a policy directive and operating instruction that no dead horse is too dead to beat.
11. Do a cost analysis to determine if contractors can ride the dead horse cheaper.
12. Buy a commercial off-the-shelf dead horse.
13. Declare that the horse is better, faster, and cheaper dead.
14. Form an IPT to find uses for dead horses.
15. Revisit the key performance parameters (KPPs) for dead horses.
16. Say the horse was procured making CAIV-based decisions.
17. BRAC the horse farm on which the dead horse was born.
18. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.
19. Name the dead horse "Paradigm Shift" and keep riding it.
20. Ride the dead horse "smarter," not harder.
21. Call the dead horse "joint" and let others ride it.
22. Ride the dead horse "outside the box."

Go ahead... I've decided after this display, and some others recently, that I'll fight hard to prevent the priggish fringe from ever getting too much power. They ain't reasonable.
