I just love this bonhead move he pulled! Classic Kerry, try hiring a proof reader you MORON!!!! LOL

After all that time he spent campaigning in New Hampshire, you'd think John Kerry would know the state on a map.

On a U.S. map sent to comtributors that bears his signature, Kerry confuses New Hampshire with its next-door neighbor, Vermont. The map identifies New Hampshire, which voted Jan 27, as one of the 10 states voting on Super Tuesday, March 2. It identifies Vermont, which votes Tueday, as one of the states that has already voted for Kerry. As campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said in the accompanying letter seeking contributions: "The enclosed map paints the clearest picture."

and a lame attempt to attribute a simple goof by a low-level flunky to the candidate himself... tedious nonsense...

And a politician on the stump is almost always one tired dude.

Went to a concert in the 60s where the lead singer in the act forgot the lyrics to band's hit, the one they'd been touring with for months on end. I called the middle boy by the cat's name the other day. It happens.

Boy, that's a major policy screw-up all right. That sort of thing can cost a candidate an election. Okay, folks, let's give up. Let's all vote for Bush. He's got a lot of people around him to tell him where things are ("Don't you remember, Georgie? The bathroom's down that way. . . .").

The important thing is for a President that can be relied on to be able to tell the difference between Iran and Iraq, and Gambia and Zambia and stuff like that. I mean, it's not too likely he's going to be considering carrying out an air attack on either Vermont or New Hampshire...

When you put New Hampshire and Vermont together in a puzzle I had as a child they formed a rectangle, and it was possible to put that rectangle in upside down.

Guest, you need a proof reader yourself!

1. Proper nouns are always capitalized-- kerry should be Kerry.>
2. Bonhead should be bone headed.>
3. Kinght Ridder should be Knight-Ridder.>

Ah yes you can take the woman out of the editing room, but you can't take the editing room out of the woman.

You mean to tell me that New Hampshire and Vermont are separate states? They're on the same page in my atlas. Oh, shit, you're right! There's a dotted line that runs down the middle of some river in between them.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

I'll never forget George Bush SENIOR, campaigning at an American Legion convention on SEPTEMBER 7'th. He was laying it on, thick.
"This date of September Seventh, a date which will LIVE IN INFAMY !! ... we were attacked by naval and air forces of the EMPIRE OF JAPAN !! ..."

The Legionaires were puzzled. Does he mean December 7'th? This is September, right?

Love, Johnny

I got those partisan blues
Those old partisan blues
In the bottom of my shoes
In the bottom of my shoes

My guy's right and your guy's wrong
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Your guy's always wrong and he always will be!

My guy's a hero, your guy's a jerk
My guy is gonna put America back to work
Your guy's a liar, a pervert, a cheat
My guy's the friend of the man in the street

I got those partisan blues
Those old partisan blues
In the bottom of my shoes
In the bottom of my shoes

My party's the only one that I will ever vote for
I was born a Redemopublicrat and I'll die a Redemopublicrat
I can't stand those Democrapublicants, they make me sick
I hope they all Die! Die! Die!
And then my party can rule forever and ever
And theirs will be the Power and the Glory

My guy's a human, your guy's an ape
Your guy is secretly in favour of rape
Your guy took payoffs and he's unpatriotic
My guy's true blue, your guy's idiotic

I got those partisan blues, those partisan blues

Every four years I go completely nuts...

Potataoism is pretty deep stuff...

"I've heard of those who are good at cultivating spuds
Traveling on the road, they do not encounter rhinos or tigers
Entering into an army, they are not harmed by weapons
Rhinos have nowhere to thrust their horns
Tigers have nowhere to clasp their claws
Soldiers have nowhere to lodge their blades
Why? Because they have no place for death"
