“Bad presidents happen to good people.. . . let me suggest that in a world turned hostile to America, the smartest message we can send to those beyond our shores is, ‘We're not with stupid.’ Therefore, I contend -- with all seriousness -- that ridiculing this president is now the most patriotic thing you can do. Let our allies and our enemies alike know that there's a whole swath of Americans desperate to distance themselves from Bush's foreign policies. And that's just Republicans running for reelection.
. . .it's important, because America is an easily misunderstood country these days -- a lot of the time it's hard to make out what we're saying over the bombs we're dropping.
But we are not all people who think putting a boot in your ass is the way to solve problems, because even allowing that my foot lodged in your ass would feel good, which I don't -- what then? OK, my boot is in your ass, but I can't get it out, so I'm not happy, and it's in you, so you're not happy -- there's no exit strategy.
Anyone who opposes the indefinite occupation of Iraq shouldn't be labeled an al-Qaida supporter. That's like saying that if I tell my exterminator that there are more efficient ways to rid the house of vermin than hitting them with a hammer, I'm ‘for the rats.’. . .
So while honoring the anniversary of September 2001, we must also never forget September 2000. That's the month when Gov. George W. Bush said, "I know that human beings and fish can coexist peacefully." If you don't believe me, you can look it up on both internets. The world changed on 9/11. He didn't. That's why we owe it to ourselves, and our children, to never stop pointing out that George W. Bush is a gruesome boob.”

Virg tries to report mostly good news. Congratulations Marion. Virg n’ Mary were with you all the way. They both, however still think that W. and his cronies are dipshits, and hope that you will join them in voting to take our country back this fall.

"Japan celebrates birth of male heir . . . ‘That's great,’ said the prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, who was forced to withdraw plans to introduce a bill allowing the emperor's first child to ascend the throne, regardless of gender, days after Kiko's pregnancy was announced in February.
The chief cabinet secretary, Shinzo Abe, who is expected to replace Mr Koizumi as prime minister later this month, described the birth as ‘a refreshing feeling that reminds us of a clear autumn sky’. He added: ‘I am very glad that the prince was born.’ Mr Abe, a conservative who had misgivings about changing the 1947 succession law, which allows only male descendants of an emperor to inherit the throne, called for 'careful and calmdiscussions' on the issue."Painting of

Bonobos use sex at the drop of a hat to steer away from angry confrontations among themselves. This does diffuse potentially dangerous situations which would otherwise result in violence and accompanying injury, but there is a darker side. They have been portrayed as the peaceful apes in comparison to chimps and humans who were made it God’s image. In addition bonobos have no sense of decency. They are immoral, bisexual, and obviously in league with the devil. If we made air strikes on the bonobos, W. could get the victory he so desperately needs to save Congress for the Repubs and to protect his legacy. The are not many bonobos and they are confined to a small geographic area, so it should be relatively easy to wipe them out. Global warming will get them sooner or later anyway. Thanks to J. & B. for the tip.
Virgil is a fundamentalist when it comes to athletics. Block, tackle, keep your eye on the ball or sliotar, and at least shoot free throws. We failed in the fundamentals here and, as a result, were beaten by a country no one ever heard of that probably worships Allah.
