Ping me if you find one I've missed.
Hold onto your hat, Evo.
There is extensive archaelogical and other evidence , extending back many thousands of years, of repeated episodes of "super el Ninos," which we apparently haven't really seen in the last few centuries. Some of these resulted in droughts that led to most of the Amazon rain forest burning and the resultant collapse of advanced societies in these areas.
Evo, I guess the cocoa plants just aren't growing like they used to.
But you see, I don't listen to national leaders who think an Indian sweater is formal wear.

I think an "I'm sorry" is inadequate. The least - and I'm talking the very least - Bush could do is send them a Valentine. I know it's a little late but I think one of them with a funny saying on it may put a smile on their face and cheer them up.
Right, you are.
My favorite??
"Violets are blue....
Roses are red..
Uday, Qusay and now Saddam....
Are dead."
How does this sound?
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
We killed old Saddam,
Now we're coming for you.
It appears that some South American countries have found that socialist narco-kleptocracies are more attuned to their societies than liberty.
Get the CIA back in the coup d'etat, ass assasination business, dude!
Works for me....
I think Evo's been hittin' the nose candy again.
