Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

In the span of one week, Two men died. The First Lester Maddox, was one of the names that became synonomous with Racism in the 60s, but to read his obit in the NYTimes, you would not know it. OF course it took half of the Obit to get around to the fact that he was of course a Democrat.

In contrast, Americas longest serving Senator Died Last night, A man of many accomplishments he lived to be 100, Stormed the Beach at Normandy taking Nazis prisoner at the point of the Pistol, winning the Bronze star, and fathering children IN HIS Seventies.

What did the headline in the Times read..."Strom Thurmond Foe of Integration Dies at 100

The author????? Adam the clymer Clymer.

Giving Credence to the credibilty of The President and the Vice President, the manis truly a major league @$$hole.

[SCalGal]

*shrug*, didn't expect any, just thought I'd say something anyway....

Good Morning to you!

[CholeraJoe]

Thanks. They're sweetie boys.

Haven't seen you around these parts lately. How've you been?

[Conspiracy Guy]

For deer get one of these. Browning A-Bolt 270 with 3x10 50 mm scope
If there are a lot of deer I'd use one of these. Gatling!

[hobbes1]

The perfect accompaniement....

Now, I want you two to listen closely, I'm only gonna say this one more time....
I did not have sexual realtions with that woman Miss Lewinsky.. a ping list this A.M.

[Conspiracy Guy]

UPS them puppies down here. Lula Belle 4 legs wants some more friends. She'll teach em how to belly crawl, swim, retreive, fetch, tilt head to side, crap and pee, how to convince lulabelle 2 legs that dogs should live in the house, and how to do the boot scoot boogie.

[CholeraJoe]

She'll teach em how to belly crawl, swim, retreive, fetch, tilt head to side, crap and pee,

They're pretty good at the crap and pee part already.

From Jonah Goldber's column

[Conspiracy Guy]

The belly crawl is a hoot.

[doubled]

From Jonah Goldber's column

On Dec. 19, 1998, right after Bill Clinton was flouting the will of our allies and the U.N. by launching a military strike against the Iraqis, President Clinton told the American people in a televised address: "Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. ... Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors. ... Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons."

The answer's so simple it doesn't take deduction
Whatever became of weapons of mass destruction?
The clymers all cry
That Bush tells a lie
But, it's obvious, Bubba made them disfunction.

Good writing camle.

[doubled]

Post 89 was a preemptive strike, or maybe premature post ejection, or a false start or I hit the wrong button and strangely enough it didn't make me review my post. I was confused.

[camle]

why thank youdubya! what a kind thing to say!

of course you realize that I absolutely MUST spend the next few days being insufferable.

but I do humbly appreaciate your comments.

[Argh]

Jeez, could they be any more adorable? Way to go, Doc!

[Argh]

i would kill to have those 2 babies

The solution is in what you wrote. Put out a contract on xshub, collect the insurance, buy a mess of puppies...

[hobbes1]

i would kill to have those 2 babies

That slipped out. She was peering up under my running shorts.

[Argh]

Way to go!!

Two good jokes from the late night shows last week: Jay Leno mocked Al Gore's view
that liberals don't have any outlets in the media and Kelsey Grammer, filling in for David
Letterman, took a shot at the “effete” Peter Jennings.

-- Friday's Special Report with Brit Hume on FNC and Fox News Sunday both played this
Jay Leno joke from the June 19 Tonight Show on NBC:
"And former Vice President Al Gore says he's looking to develop a liberal cable TV and
radio network to counteract Fox and all the conservative shows. Gore says there's no outlet in
this country for the liberal viewpoint. You know except ABC, NBC, CBS, HBO, Bravo, BET,
Showtime, Lifetime, MTV, Oxygen, National Public Radio and IFC. Other than that, there's
nothing!"

-- Guest-hosting the June 20 Late Show Friday night on CBS, actor Kelsey Grammer, who
holds the record for playing the longest-running ever sit-com character (“Frasier Crane” on
both Cheers and Frasier), delivered this joke during his opening monologue:
"So it seems I've been playing the same effete, pompous character on television for 20
years, and I know what you're thinking: 'Wow, Peter Jennings looks terrible!'"
