 A: New York and California.
2. Q: Who paid?
 A: New York (lost 3,000 people in the World Trade Center towers) and California (gouged by Enron).
3. Q: Who stole the election with the help of the Supreme Court?
 A: Bush.
4. Q: Who really had the most votes in Florida?
 A: Gore.
5. Q: Whose ballots were thrown out or denied?

10. Q: Who took a private plane instead of a commercial one after FBI reports theorized about the possibility of terrorist planes crashing into the World Trade Center?
 A: Ashcroft.
11. Q: Why did Ashcroft and Mueller, supposedly, not tell Bush about these "red flag" discoveries during their daily briefings with him?
 A: So Bush could say he wasn't "in the loop" (sound familiar?) and then be able to boost the earnings of his biggest contributors:
  • drug companies (to increase the number of Americans taking antidepressants)
  • defense companies (to fight the "evildoers")
  • energy companies (to increase the price of oil when Bush attacks Iraq, which will create inflation and global deflationary economies, and destroy the value of your assets for years to come)
  • airline companies (to keep them running and making money at the expense of people's lives AND to increase his plummeting approval ratings at the time - only 45%)
12. Q: Who pushed the Farm Subsidy bill in hopes of gaining seven Senate seats in this fall's election at your expense?
 A: Bush.
13. Q: Why is stem cell research being pushed aside?

 A: You, again.
20. Q: Who is better off today than you were when Clinton was in office?
 A: Well, you can answer that...

Hey, all of you self-righteous Republicans...

Your greed is being masked by your convenient morality. Bush, Sr. had an affair with a woman in Paris. Jeb had an affair with Katherine Harris. Eisenhower had a well-documented affair. Gingrich divorced his wife when she had cancer to marry his mistress. And, Jack Welch lost half his fortune because of his affair with a Harvard Review woman. All "moral" Republicans.

Why did Watkins, Rowley, and the "unnamed" colonel all directly and indirectly say Bush knew? Because they didn't want to take the "fall" for his greedy agenda: money for his defense buddies for a "fake war", and money for his Enron buddy, Ken Lay, who ripped you off.

Did you, also, know Bush, Sr. met with Bin Laden's mother in '00 and '01 on behalf of the Carlyle Group - a private investment firm with extensive holdings in defense-related companies? Hell-o-oo?

Want to Play Ten More Questions?

Or, The Hits Just Keep on Coming

1. Q: Gee, why did Ashcroft on 9/10/01 reject the FBI's request for $57.8 million for more anti-terrorist agents, more intelligence researchers, and more translators, AND why wasn't terrorism even on his Top 10 Priority List?
 A: Because the fake war has to last at least until 2004.
2. Q: Why doesn't Bush want to approve more defense money to fight Al-Qaeda?
 A: Because the war is a fake, and he'll be labeled a big spender.
3. Q: Why has the colonel's letter mentioned in the New York Times been conspicuously absent from media coverage? (Nixon and the Washington Post - remember?)
 A: Because the colonel said Bush knew about 9/11 and said Bush needed the war on terrorism to boost his 45% approval ratings at the time. (By the way, he's been suspended for disloyalty to Bush.).
4. Q: Why has Bush "waffled" on every issue he so adamantly and previously opposed?
  1. Homeland Security - Now recognized as a department with a cabinet head - conveniently announced when Rowley, the FBI "whistle-blower", was testifying before the Senate.
  2. Greenhouse Effect - Now suddently a valid point
  3. Sudden Cessation of Offshore Drilling in the Gulf - (Jeb needs the votes), BUT not the same treatment for California. (Haven't they been through enough with Enron?)
  4. Opposed the Farm Subsidy Bill - NOW, for it. (Bush needed the votes.)
  5. For Homeland Security Reorganization - But against more funding for it because it's a fake war, he'll be labeled a big government spender, and his approval ratings are down from 79% to 70% - really why K. Hughes "flew the coop".
5. Q: Why are the FBI and CIA conspicuously exempt from the Homeland Security reorganization?
 A: So Bush can still control them.
6. Q: Why did the government warn on 6/21/01 but not on 9/10/01?
 A: Bush's 45% aproval rating.
7. Q: Why did airline stock options plummet on 9/10/01, while oil options soared?
 A: Somebody knew something. Unlike Bush, the market doesn't lie.
8. Q: Why are you letting the Village Idiot "pull the wool over your eyes"?
 A: Because he's a "likable" guy to a lot of you, and you want those tax cuts, damn it!
9. Q: What does ACCOUNTABILITY mean?
 A: Look it up and ask Congress to demand it from Bush.
10. Q: Why is lying about sex an impeachable offense (what husband doesn't lie about it?), but Bush's "screwing the whole country", isn't?
 A: A GOOD QUESTION...

Get For Real, "Clueless W."

Why in the hell should people volunteer when they're too busy looking for jobs? Why in the hell should people lose weight (except to avoid paying for two seats on Southwest Airlines and to keep costs low for your HMO buddies) when your "schizophrenic, poll-taking" presidency has made people nervous wrecks about their future income status and their fear of future terrorist attacks that your administration has conveniently failed to stop for your political gain and for money for your defense buddies?

You are just as stupid as your "in-the-ozone" father. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? Your dad, apparently, hadn't ever been to a grocery store to know what people were paying for food. "It's the economy, Stupid" - remember?

"It's still the economy, Stupid", plus now, "It's tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% instead of affordable drugs for our seniors, Stupid!"

Why are the following stocks up while most of the others are "in the toilet"?

  1. Budweiser
  2. Coors
  3. Brown Forman (Jack Daniels)
  4. Fortune Brands (Absolut vodka)
  5. Diageo (Smirnoff vodka and Johnny Walker)
  6. And the biggest gainer listed here: Interstate Bakeries (Twinkies)

Guess?

Why in the hell should waitresses' tips be under scrutiny by the IRS and random audits be conducted on the poor, average working "slobs" when the real source of income for the government is your buddy Ken Lay's Enron, which didn't pay taxes for years, and moved to Bermuda to avoid them?

My neighbor, who is a hard-working conservative, has been loading up on M & M's lately.

Bye Bye, "Clueless-W."


To you people out there reading this: keep buying those Twinkies, M & M's, vodka, Johnny Walker, Bud, or whatever "floats your boat". Then, call your congressman and demand an independent commission investigate Enron and the FBI, and better yet, how about an independent counsel to impeach Bush?

Call before your pension, Social Security, and 401-K are gone!

Smart Women

What has ruined my whole life is having to hide my intelligence from Stupid White Men! They have killed me and a lot of smart women I know. I don't play the game. I don't like to cook for men. Let them take us out, I say. I figure there's plenty of time to cook after you marry them. Don't get me wrong. I love men. I'm not a lesbian. I just know they're Desserts - not the the Basic Food Groups.

In America's workplaces, I've noticed the only women who break through the "glass ceiling" are "dodos". They can't even read or write. They buy their boss presents. They have the "dirt" on their own boss' affair with some secretary, or they have affairs with him themselves. This is how they get promoted! INSANE!

Of course, the smart women have to stay in their low-paying jobs because who would do the work to make their Stupid White Men bosses look good? Also true is the "dodo" women turn on the smart women because the smart women are a real threat to them and to their SWM bosses.

Smart women of America, wake-up! What happened to sisterhood? We have real power. We're 52% of the population! We just don't use it to our advantage.

Stupid American women are responsible for the real problem in America: the population is getting dumber and dumber. Why? 2 Reasons:

  1. You stupid women are too lazy or materialistic to teach and raise your own children. (As a teacher, I only saw your kids five hrs. a week. The schools can't do your job.)

  2. You're too busy working to even notice or complain to the local schools about how much the educational achievement standards have declined. Isn't it scary we depend on immigrants to become our future engineers and doctors because America's kids are too dumb?

Stupid American women would rather work than raise their own children. Why? What are their priorities?

  1. Keep "Hubby" happy with that additional paycheck.

  2. Together with "Hubby", they can have that 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house; the boat, 2 SUVs and a couple of vacation homes or time-shares - all more important than raising their own kids.

  3. A lot of stupid women don't feel that raising their children and cleaning house is stimulating enough. Why should the SWM "Hubby" be able to go to work for stimulation? What's wrong here? Raising their children should be their most stimulating and important job!

Stupid American women who let SWM run them are throwing their elderly parents into nursing homes at the same alarming rate that they're throwing their kids into day-care. Taking care of their sweet, devoted parents (like their children) is taking 2nd or 3rd place to their jobs. These same women probably only had kids at 40 - instead of 20 - so their kids would take care of them when they got old. FAT CHANCE! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND! Their children will throw them into uncaring nursing homes just like they threw their kids into day-care.

The working mothers of today aren't very smart, but that's understandable because it hasn't been "cool" to be smart in America for quite a while. (Why I quit teaching after 15 years...) Look at "W" - the "Education President" who can't utter one coherent thought without a teleprompter. What a joke! And an even bigger joke is Barbara Bush - the "anointed advocate for literacy". Where in the hell was she when "W" was growing up? On drugs? GET FOR REAL. But then again, she's married to "Goofy, Sr." who didn't even know what groceries cost during his presidency, and I'm sure he's still wondering why he lost to Clinton. Duh? No wonder Martha Mitchell drank. Who wouldn't, married to John? And ditto for Pat Nixon and "Tricky Dick".

Come on you smart women of America, if you haven't been too heavily drugged on tranquilizers and antidepressants by your SWM doctors, GET MAD! Take back the power you don't even realize you have - 52% of the population. (I'm saying it again, hoping you'll get it!)

Tell "Bushie Boy" to give your husbands (not his "Crooked Corporate CEO Buddies") more money so you can stay home and raise intelligent children instead of out-of-control MORONS. And look at the following very smart women who should be running this country: 1) Hillary Clinton (who said there should be a Palestinian state in 1998), 2) Sherron Watkins, 3) Coleen Rowley, 4) Cynthia McKinney, 5) Dianne Feinstein, 6) Barbara Boxer, 7) Maxine Waters, 8) Madeleine Albright, and many more...They have proven they can connect-the-dots, while the SWM in power who, lacking smart women's analytical skills and intuition, have not.

We're at a crucial juncture in history here. Call your congressmen and demand they get rid of Bush and his cohorts before Bush blows up the whole world and/or we all go broke. I repeat: Tell them to pay your husbands more money so you can stay home and raise your children, or don't have children if you want to work. Kate Hepburn had that right! You can't do both. America's children are the most precious resource we have. Our democracy and our strength as the world leader are dependent on it!

We don't need "Desserts" (Stupid White Men), but we do need the Basic Food Groups (SMART WOMEN)!

You Should Thank God That You're Married to a "Tight-ass" During These Hard Times Under "W."

I have the time now to write this because my stocks aren't worth watching. They're "in the toilet" and probably will stay there for quite a while longer (except for an occasional one-day pop) due to the huge deficit "W." has created. I hope you live long enough to work a few extra years because your pension, 401-K, and Social Security will still be "in the pits" (or maybe even non-existent) when you thought you could retire. The Options page in the Wall Street Journal indicates no growth til '04 or '05. (Maybe waiting for President Gore?)

Weren't those tax cuts worth it? You were "penny-wise" and "pound-foolish" when you punched the hole next to Bush's name in the election booth in 2000, weren't you? But, if all the Democrats in Florida had been given the opportunity to vote, we wouldn't be in this mess, would we? The economy NEVER PROSPERS under Republicans. It ALWAYS does under Democrats, but I guess you didn't know that!

It took Clinton eight years to get us back "in the black" after Reagan's and Bush, Sr.'s twelve years of fiscally irresponsible deficit creation, only to "fatten the wallets" of their rich, corporate buddies. AND IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! Why isn't Lay in jail after six months? He stole all of your money! But, let's go after Bernie (WorldCom) Ebbers and Martha. They're, apparently NOT "Friends of Bush"!

So, if you have a cheap spouse today, you'd better get down on your hands and knees and thank God for giving you a partner who can save you money during these hard times under "W." In 2002, generosity is out; "penny pinching" is in.

Here's one tip for saving money I heard at the beauty shop (better than a Harvard education). An older woman whose husband was very wealthy and owned his own business INSISTED on saving the used cardboard toilet paper rolls so that, when he bought new two-ply rolls, he could divide them into two one-ply rolls. Take heed!

It's Over, America!

Dear Americans,

Don't even bother to vote in November. It doesn't matter. It's all rigged. If you're a democrat and believe all people in the USA deserve to have their votes counted, you're "screwed." "Hitler" is in the White House. He had African-Americans in Florida stopped on freeways to have their driver's licenses checked so that they were too late to be able to vote. The polls were closed when they got there. He parked helicopters in the middle of streets in Florida so cars couldn't get to the polls before they closed. When minorities showed up at their designated polling places, they were told the polling places had been changed. Again, they weren't able to make it in time to vote at the new ones.

I, myself, a registered Democrat for 34 years, received no notice of my new polling place, but my brother did. A friend of mine's mother (also a registered Democrat) was given 3 different polling places. And ask McCain what happened to his followers in South Carolina! No wonder he's "pissed off" at Bush! The Republicans have redrawn the voting districts so that a preponderance of Republicans are now included in them to squash the minority votes (i.e., Cynthia McKinney - a 5-termer in Georgia).

It's over, America! King George and his cronies - the top 1% - are in. They don't care about the middle class or the poor. They're afraid the minorities are gaining in population. Minorities want to vote, but their votes are blocked or thrown out. King George knows if minorities' votes were counted, he and his top 1% buddies would be out.

King George doesn't care about the concept of a democratic republic either, or he wouldn't have allowed his daddy's Supreme Court buddies to appoint him President/anoint him "King George". He doesn't care about the concept of democracy in Iraq or Afghanistan either. All he cares about is building oil pipelines there so he and Cheney and his top 1% buddies can make even more money. How much is enough?

I just heard there's no evidence of Kenneth Lay doing anything wrong. The Justice Department says they can't prosecute him. Big Surprise! How do you people who lost everything due to Lay's greed feel? He's Bush's buddy, and was allowed to determine the energy policy in the White House because he was Bush's biggest contributor.

Oh well, face it America, our democratic republic is dead! The same "crap" will happen in November '02 as it did in '00.

The wimps in Congress are being paid off by King George, or they fear for their lives. It's over. Don't cross King George and his cronies, or you'll be dead like JFK, Sr.; Martin Luther King, Jr.; RFK; JFK, Jr. - who wanted to register voters on the Internet; and Mel Carnahan and his son in Missouri.

I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime. Where's Hillary? At least she's got the "balls" to tell it like it is!

The Eventual Demise of the Spartans

The Spartan slaves outnumbered the Spartans, so both the Spartan men and women strengthened their bodies through rigorous exercise and only ate a sparse, healthy diet in order to better be able to stand watch over their slaves 24 hours a day. If any slave became disruptive, questioned Spartans' authority, or rebelled in any way, he was killed immediately.

It is well-known that the Spartans were lacking in communication skills, had no vision, and were only good at making war. Eventually, their reign over ancient Greece ended in their total demise.

Which administration does this remind you of? Think very carefully when you vote on November 5!

Dissenters Killed in Suspect Plane Crashes

JFK, Jr. (1999), Mel Carnahan (2000), and Paul Wellstone (2002) all died in suspect plane crashes.

JFK, Jr. wanted young people to be able to register to vote on the Internet. Carnahan and his son died in Missouri three weeks before the election (and he won posthumously). Wellstone, his wife, and daughter all died 11 days before the election, AND HE WAS WINNING!  HELL-O?

If you believe these were all accidents, I've got some swamp-land in Florida to sell you!!

REGIME CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME!
VOTE!
