The Haughty French Looking Massachusetts Democrat Who By-the-way also was an uneducated veteran?

Filed under: Parodies,RantsJeremy @ 9:18:57 AM
From the "We'll-always-have-John-Kerry" Department

I TRIED not to write about this, but I HAD to:
The haughty french-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by-the-way also served in Vietnam had some things to say on the subject of Education:

You know, education–if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.

The election may look bleak, but we’ll always have John Kerry.

Regardless, here comes the fun.

Election Day 2006

From the "Who-says-that-you-have-to-be-alive-to-vote?" Department

Maybe you might be proud of me, maybe not. But I’m not paying attention to the election tonight.

I can read about it tomorrow.

Not tonight. I’m tired of it.

A Small Unregarded Yellow Sun

From the "Going-back-to-Saturn-where-the-people-smile; Don't-need-cars-cause-we've-learn-to-fly; On-Saturn" Department

I saw this over at Independent Sources this morning, and had to post it here:

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the
Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an
utterly insignificant little blue-green planet…

Wow!

Satellite Terrorists

From the "Earth-below-us drifting-falling floating-weightless calling-calling-home..." Department

So much for the Democrat ascendancy. The Democrats have only been in power five days, and they’ve already slashed police budgets so much that there was a burglary in my car, in my own driveway last night.

Not to mention, we’re still in Iraq, and George W. Bush has not been impeached!

As of Today, Gerald Ford is not only the longest-lived President who has never been elected, he’s also the longest lived-President, period.

But what really knocked me out was those $70,000 Sunglasses.

Late Action Star? Is that the best description they had for the Second Best Actor of all Time?

So, the CIA is hiring, and to drum up interest, they put up a rather silly online personality test:

Who would have thought that December 5th was such an important day.

Not as important as December 7th (A day that someone told me not to forget) but lots of celebrations are happening on December 5th.
