~THE WORST HALLOWEEN COSTUMES OF ALL TIME~
How many poor kids that got stuck with this one had to hear, "Hey Rubik, how about if I rearrange your face?" This very well may be the least popular costume of all time, 2nd only to the failed Parcheesi costume of 1974.

"Just before the toll hit 2,000, President Bush warned the nation to brace for an even higher casualty count as the mission there has more work remaining to be successful"...
THIS FUCKIN' IDIOT WILL ROT IN HELL SOMEDAY FOR THESE ATROCITIES ALONG WITH THE REST OF HIS EVIL COHORTS!
It's beginning to look a lot like "Fitzmas"
Everywhere you go.
Who's gonna do five-or-ten?
We're thinking once again
Of handcuffs and of orange jumpsuits aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Indictments on every score
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the scowl on Darth Cheney
At the slammer's front door.
A warrant or writ, a subpoena that fits
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
The thought of Turdblossom hung up like a possum
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for court to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Everywhere you go.
There's an defendant who doesn't want to tell;
One in the White House as well --
The felony kind that doesn't mind the law!
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the indictment that we sing,
Right within our hearts!
Everywhere you go.

"T'was the Night Before Fitzmas" - Holiday Cheer
T'was the night before the indictments
when all through the White House
the thugs cowered closely
as Fitzgerald played cat and mouse.
The sound bytes were rehearsed
in the West Wing with care
In hopes that the propaganda
would catapult in the air.
The neocons were restless,
tossing and turning in bed
while visions of orange jumpsuits
jumped in their heads.
And Rove in his foot jammies,
and Cheney in his fur hat
had just settled in
for an eight-hour nap.
When out on the White House lawn
there arose such a clatter
Laura shook off the Zanax
to see what was the matter.
Away to the Lincoln Balcony
Junior flew like a flash
He tore open some pretzels
and his face he did bash.
And to what did Junior's
lying eyes should appear?
...but a black limousine
that drove Fitzgerald near.
Lead prosecutor Fitzgerald
was so lively and quick
Junior knew in a moment
this administration was dicked.
More rapid than eagles
the indictments they came,
and the public happily cried
as Fitzgerald called them by name:
Now Cheney! Now Scooter!
Now Condi! Now Bush!
On Judy! On Rover!
On Rumsfeld's lying, fat tush.
To the top of the perp line!
To the top of the razor wire wall!
Now cuff 'em all! Cuff 'em all!
Frog march 'em away all!
Fitzgerald spoke not a word,
but went straight to his work.
He turned over the evidence,
then turned to Bush, Jr. the jerk.
"You shouldn't have lied to sell America war.
Now your country is salivating to settle this score."
Fitzgerald sprang to his limo,
to his legal team gave a whistle,
and to Gitmo they flew
like the down of a thistle.
But I heard Fitzgerald exclaim
as he drove from D.C.,
"The neocon nightmare is over
....it's a new democracy!"

News Flash - Bush Converts to Judaism
In an effort to overcome the continuing criticism that he is unsupportive and in fact dismissive of Israel, one of America's closest allies, today President Bush announced that he is converting to Judaism in the hope that this will demonstrate his affinity to and empathy with the Israeli people. Authorities have been unable to handle the millions of applicants who have volunteered to perform the circumcision.

Received this email today:
I can't help but PRAY that the judicial system and the grand jury will finally with clear conscience, indict Karl Rove. I'm loving the domino effect; is it my imagination or are "they" finally falling down one at a time? Could the ones who voted them in be waking from a deep sleep? Is it a possibility? Do I dare get my hopes up? Is a 28% approval rate not telling us something? The clock is ticking.....ONLY 1193 days, 11 hours and 11 minutes to a new "regime". CS

This is such a great letter to the editor from a high school junior. Sure wish more young people would become activists! Here's the letter:
I disagree with C.M. Hallwood about the remarks about President Bush made at a Kearsley High School powder puff game ["Bush needs our support," Your Views, Sept. 26, Page C6].
I am a junior at Kearsley and played in that game. The powder puff game was meant to be fun, and everything said was to not be taken too seriously. Also, I do not think the announcer's remarks about President Bush were anything that you wouldn't hear anywhere else, especially around here.
If the announcer's remarks offended, the right thing to do would have been to take it up with the announcer, not whine in a letter in The Flint Journal.
Or better yet, why don't you announce the games so everyone can hear religious and right-wing views instead of good-humored jokes?
The Kearsley area tends to be a hard-working, middle-class area, but with Bush's help the whole state of Michigan is now leading the nation in unemployment. Thank you, Mr. Bush. I find it hard to understand why anyone in Michigan would be fond of Mr. Bush.
His irresponsible policies mean most jobs are going overseas. People in every township, county and state know of someone who has been senselessly brought home in a body bag from Iraq.
Also if free speech "should not be involved at a school sporting event," how does that make it free speech?
With unemployment and the national debt soaring out of control, my generation is going to have to pay for it.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me. I love America, too. I just want it to be here for future generations.

George W. Bush was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing, and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, 3 kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted. The first kid said, "I want to go to Disneyland." George W. said, "No problem. I'll take you there on Air Force One". The second kid said, "I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan's." George W. said, "I'll get them for you and even have Michael sign them!" The third kid said, "I want a motorized wheelchair with a built in TV and stereo headset!" George W. was a little perplexed by this and said, "But you don't look like you are handicapped." The kid replied, "I will be, after my dad finds out I saved your ass from drowning!"

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round, or listened to rain slapping the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight, or gazed at the sun fading into the night?
You better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last.
Do you run through each day on the fly, when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed, with the next hundred chores running through your head?
You better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last.
Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow, and in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,'cause you never had time to call and say hi?
You better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day, it's like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life isn't a race, so take it slower, hear the music before your song is over.

In politics, the term liberal refers to:
an adherent of the ideology of liberalism —an ideology espousing liberty. The inverse of liberty is tyranny.
(Note: the words "liberal" or "liberalism" can have different meanings in different countries and may also vary with the political background of the user. Therefore, the term may have slightly (or vastly) different meanings. A more comprehensive discussion can be found at Liberalism.)
a political party associated with ideals of individual freedom, greater intellectual liberty, greater individual participation in government, and constitutional, political, and administrative reforms designed to secure these objectives, such as the U.S. Constitution. The political opposite of a liberal is either a conservative or a socialist, depending on who uses the term.
if capitalized (as in Liberal with a capital-L), the word usually refers to members of a political party that goes by the name Liberal Party (Note: a party calling itself Liberal may not necessarily follow what some people consider to be Liberalism.)
a supporter or member of a liberal party (see also small-l liberal).
