THE POSSUM COUNTY DAILY FLAPDOODLE Serving America - One Possum At A Time! NO!! I WANT THE OLD JOKES!!! NOW!!!! Just who's in charge here, anyway?

If only Governor Bush had realized that this would be on the final!

The world came to a screeching halt today as we in the Corporate Lackey Attack Chihuahua Press Corps (R-Rat Bastards) were actually forced to concede that the winner of the 3rd Presidential debate was Vice President Al Gore (D-You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet), rather than our boy Texas Governor George W. Bush (R-All Hat And No Cattle). Giving us all a horrifying glimpse into the future, an unruly mob of 10,000 crazed peasants swarmed to the side of the Vice President in Flint, Michigan tonight. "Did you see the debate last night?" Gore shouted to the assembled class warfare activists. "You won, you won," the unwashed middle class shouted back. The horrifying spectacle ended with the People, not the Powerful, crying their terrifying ritual chant of "Go Al, Go! Go Al, Go!!"

Fun Factoid! The unwashed middle class often refers to our dear W. with quaint nicknames such as "Smirk", "Shrubby", "Bush Lite", "The Texecutioner" or "That Major League Moron Inbred Nazi Crackhead Who Ran Texas Into The Ground While Stealing Everything That Wasn't Nailed Down".

SMIRK’S CLUELESS NON-REPLY WAS:
a.) I trust people; I don't trust the federal government.
b.) Ours is a big state, a fast-growing state. We share a common border with another nation.
c.) One thing about insurance, that's a Washington term.
d.) Not paying attention to the lights...
e.) None of the above.
f.) All of the above.


2.) THE INTELLEGENT QUESTION WAS: How will your tax proposals affect me as a middle class 34-year-old single person with no dependents?

SMIRK’S CLUELESS NON-REPLY WAS:
a.) Now, I hope people understand that Medicare today is -- is -- is -- is important, but it doesn't keep up with the new medicines. If you're a Medicare person, on Medicare, you don't get the new -- new procedures. You're stuck in a time warp in many ways. So it will be a modern Medicare system that trusts you to make a variety of options for you.
b.) You're going to live in a peaceful world. It will be a world of peace, because we're going to have a clearer -- clear-sighted foreign policy, based upon a strong military, and a mission that stands by our friends, a mission that doesn't try to be all things to all people -- a judicious use of the military which will help keep the peace.
c.) You'll be in a world hopefully that's more educated so it's less likely you'll be harmed in your neighborhood. See, an educated child is one much more likely to be hopeful and optimistic.
d.) You'll be in a world which fits into my philosophy, you know, the harder work -- the harder you work, the more you can keep. It's the American way.
e.) None of the above.
f.) All of the above.

INTELLEGENT QUESTION	CLUELESS NON-ANSWER
QUESTION #1: How do you feel about HMOs and insurance companies making the critical decisions that affect people's lives instead of the medical professionals? And why are the HMOs and insurance companies not held accountable for their decisions?	NON-ANSWER #1: You see, in order to get something done on behalf of the people, you have to put partisanship aside. And that's what we did in my state.
QUESTION #2 (LEHRER): Governor Bush, you may answer that if you'd like. But also, I'd like to know how you see the differences between the two of you [on a national patients' bill of rights], and we need to move on.	NON-ANSWER #2: Now, there's this kind of Washington, D.C., focus, well, it's in this committee or it's got this sponsor.
QUESTION #3: OK. Are either of you concerned with finding some feasible way to lower the price of pharmaceutical drugs, such as education on minimizing intake, a revamp of the FDA process or streamline the drug companies' procedures instead of just finding more money to pay for them.	NON-ANSWER #3: It's kind of like a political issue as opposed to a people issue.
QUESTION #4: I've heard a lot about education and the need to hold teachers and schools accountable, and I certainly agree with that. But as an individual with an educational background and also a parent, I have seen a lot of instances where the parents are unresponsive to the teachers or flat out uninvolved in their child's education. How do you intend to not only hold the teachers and schools accountable, but also hold parents accountable?	NON-ANSWER #4: Well, you know, it's hard to make people love one another. I wish I knew the law, because I'd darn sure sign it.
QUESTION #5 (LEHRER): Governor, what is your position on that [school vouchers]?	NON-ANSWER #5: I think any time we end with one of these attacks, it's appropriate to respond.
QUESTION #6: In the school district in which I work and in countless others across the nation, we face crumbling school buildings, increased school violence, student apathy, overcrowding, lack of funding, lawsuits, the list goes on. I could mention low teacher pay, but I won't. What can you tell me and my fellow American teachers today about your plans for our immediate future?	NON-ANSWER #6: I don't know if you have to be a paperwork-filler-outer, but most of it's because of the federal government.

Comrade "Vice" President "Al" Gore and the Young Communist League "wave bye-bye to the idea of going back to the Reagan/Bush economic nightmare".


We're still not sure what they meant by that.
