Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 08 Jan 08 - 09:28 PM Oh, regarding marijuana...legalize it for personal use and personal possession only. Allow anyone to grow it privately and smoke it who wants to. Do NOT allow any commercial business or company or organization to package it, advertise it or sell it under any brand name whatsoever! Give it back to the ordinary people, in other words, because ANY fool can grow and harvest his own marijuana all by himself! (I know, I've seen proof of that...) You do that, and it no longer offers anyone a big profit...because it's simply not hard to acquire anymore! The crime network around it is thereby eliminated. The legal problems are eliminate. And the use of it, in my opinion, would not change much at all, because the same people who smoke it now would smoke it then. Furthermore, it would no longer have that "forbidden" aura that is so irresistible to young people going through the rebellious years of their teens and early 20s. It would be totally ordinary, which is what it is, frankly. Regarding all other harmful drugs: penalize the manufacturers and the sellers...NOT the users. Drug use is not a crime, it's a weakness. It's a medical problem. Such problems are never solved by attacking those who are using the drugs, because they are NOT the criminals...they're people with a social/medical problem who are being taken advantage of by criminals. This can also true of alcoholics, gamblers, and cigarette smokers, of course...if they are unable to control their addictions. If, under the influence OF a drug, a person commits a crime, then prosecute him for the crime itself...not for the drug use. The drug use itself is not truly criminal in nature, but the crime (whatever it might be) is. Taking a drug is a person's own business and nobody else's...but when he commits a crime that affects others...THEN that IS other people's business, and he should be prosecuted for it. Not for the drug use, for the crime. Example: To get drunk is not a crime if you don't hurt anyone else or damage anyone's property. It's a personal weakness, for sure, it's a personal problem, but it isn't a crime. To get drunk and drive dangerously on public roads is a crime. To get drunk and disorderly and then assault someone or destroy property is a crime. A crime is a harmful act committed against society and against other people (or animals, etc). Drug use in itself is not a crime, it's a weakness. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Amos Date: 08 Jan 08 - 09:56 PM Hell, Bobert, I yam behind the scenes here busily making kings and you want me to jump and shout, huh? Well all right. 1. The Federal Tax Code is canceled in every part. 2. A uniform ten percent per annum tax on income is established on any entity, corporate or individual, earning in excess of forty-five K/year. 3. A consittutional amendment shall be proposed to ensure the citizens rights to pay no more than fifteen per cent income taxes to all entities federal or state in any year. 4. All Federal employees rendered supernumerary by these changes shall be employed in identifying Federal waste and fraud and rectifying same. 5. The Patriot Act is hereby canceled. 6. A Consitutional Amendment requiring the collection of intelligence concerning American ctizens to be governed by the same judiciary rules as other infringements -- in other words by warrant duly sworn and publically recorded -- only, shall be proposed. 7. One quarter of the military budget shall be re-allocated to Energy Research and development with a focus on renewables. That's all I git this eveing...more if you need it later. A |

From: John MacKenzie Date: 09 Jan 08 - 05:56 AM Another thing Bobert, when you become 'The Prez'(thanks Lord Buckley) there is one thing I want you to set up a Senate Committee to investigate; and it is this. WHY CAN'T WOMEN CUT BREAD STRAIGHT??? I trust you will give this matter your future and earnest consideration. Thanks Giok P.S. Will there be cigars in the Oval Office? |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Bobert Date: 09 Jan 08 - 09:14 AM Actually, John, I've been seriously contimplatin' a Department of Why-Women-Do-What-They-Do-Anyway... I believe this would be very helpfull for men everywhere... I'm thinkin' of a 24 hours hotline, 1800WOMENZZ where when you have again stood in line at the grocery store and the checker has just run two shopping carts full of stuff thru the scanner and the woman is amazed that the checker actually, ahhhhh, expects her to pay??? Yeah, stuff like that... It would make being a man alot easier knowin' that maybe someone out there is also trying to figure 'um out... But nevermind that women department... Yo, Amos... Why not just cut the Pentagon by 50% with half of the savings going to Energy R & D and the other half going to the Department of Peace... But I like you tax proposal... The $45,000 exemption should offset the regressive nature of the "flat tax" aspects... Yo, P-Gator, As for LH being the Attorney General, nah... He's too nice... Yeah, he like to woof, woof now and then but if it came to even stickin' Dick Cheney in jail, Dick would break down cryin' and LH would just give Cheney a big hug and tell him to "Sin no more" before letting Cheney go free... No, we gonna have to have someone who will be sure that Cheney does his time... I think CarolC is the right person... She'd throw away the key, fir sure... Yo, John, Play nice, now... We allready went thru that scenerio with jacqui... She says she can not only handle foriegn "affairs" but like it on top... Nevermind that, John, but don't ya love it when women talk dirty??? Nevermind that, as well... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 01:52 PM You have some great ideas there, Amos. Bravo! Yes, CarolC would make an excellent Attorney General. I would try Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, and a host of others in the administration for international war crimes. I would also charge a number of people, Karl Rove included, for massive election fraud in 2000...and perhaps in 2004 as well. And I would imprison them if and when they were convicted. But aside from that, Bobert, I would not put myself through the hell of being President of the USA (as you suggested) unless I could be guaranteed a fulltime 24 hour a day escort by none less than God's Angels in a phalanx around me...armed with heavenly swords...and with the Archangel Michael at their head. And I'll tell you why. Because the powers-that-be in the USA Corporatocracy, military and CIA would kill someone like me if he became President. Make no mistake about it. No earthly power could keep a person like me alive in that office, so there'd have to be Divine help or there'd be no hope of survival. I kid you not. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Amos Date: 09 Jan 08 - 02:08 PM Addendum: By "any entitiy" in the ten percent provision above is meant any organization or individual regardless of profit status, charitable purpose, religious, philosophical or fraternal, commercial, or any other that generates an income stream as an entitiy. That'll poke the Papists and the Mormons, but it is only fair. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 02:24 PM I think your taxation ideas are very good, Amos. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: PoppaGator Date: 09 Jan 08 - 03:01 PM Whether it's gonna be Little Hawk or CarolC, perhaps the head of or reconstitted Justice Dept. should be designated "Secretary of Justice" rather than "Attorney General," assuming that we take our cue from Willy Shakespeare and "First, kill all the lawyers." |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: gnu Date: 09 Jan 08 - 03:09 PM Bobert... Re "Department of Why-Women-Do-What-They-Do-Anyway..." I wish to apply for the position of Undersecretary of The Department of Why-Women-Do-What-They-Do-Anyway. I am an excellent candidate for Undersecretary of said Dept. Secretary of the Dept would have to be female, of course. If you gotta ask why, you definitely need to hire me toots sweety. In the meantime, look at the ground, shuffle your feet and say, "Oh. Yeah. Right. Sorry." As an earnest student of the teachings of John Wing, a Canuck philosopher of great social significance, and damn funny comedian, I can vouch for the effectiveness of this methodology. I would waste no time in setting up Senate hearings investigating important issues. Like... why do women get in the longest check-out line at the grocery? ... why do women ask what they can do to help on the happy-weekender-special reno project and then get pissed when you say sweeping up the dust is an important part of the job? ... why do women expect men to do half of the housework and all the yardwork? and the like... see the 347 page addenda. And, I am big on education. I would start programs to teach men the basic principles of understanding "Why-Women-Do-What-They-Do-Anyway." It's not rocket science, but few men grasp the basics of the workings of the female mind.... my "Leave no man behind" policy will ensure that all males have the opportunity to grasp and employ these tools or, at least, hold their own. Thank you for your time and for your consideration. I look forward to your positive contact in this regard. Sincerely, gnu PS If I have offended any females by my application... oh, yeah, right, sorry. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 04:36 PM Heh! That's amusing, gnu. Here's an interesting aside on the (presumed) values and attitudes of men and women. I came across a new book at my local bookstore by Robert Crumb, the (in)famous 60's comic book artist. It purports to be a collection of his "nicer" pictures, as opposed to what he usually does. He explains in the foreword that women normally hate his art because they find it ugly, offensive, and gross. He says that it appears that his natural audience, therefore, is virtually all composed of males. He goes on to say that the new book, containing a sampling of the very few less ugly, offensive, and gross pictures and stories he has done over the years, is therefore being offered as an olive branch to the female gender and people generally who find his usual art a bit hard to take. Hmmmm. Well, I am a male. I have always hated Robert Crumb's art. I mean, just hated it. It makes me want to puke. I find it ugly, offensive, tasteless, and gross. I hate the way he draws people in general, but I really seriously hate the way he draws women! My God...he could hardly make them look less appealing if he tried....he appears to be obessed with women of po-faced, freckle-faced plainness...with bad skin....faces suggesting really dumb teenage underage girls or vacuous sluts of slightly a few more years in age...all with hugely oversized buttocks and legs, very thick ankles and great big feet, crudely shaped limbs, and breasts which are relatively small in comparison in most cases, but which jut out viciously like those pointed bras that Madonna took up in the 80's. These women serve strictly as passive receptacles for various forms of sudden and 100% casual sexual assault by Crumb's male characters. The man is sick. He's totally disgusting. His art sucks. It is a degenerate assault upon everything graceful and beautiful that the human race has ever been capable of. I'm not sure if this says more about me...or about Art Crumb.... ;-) But I am totally at peace with whatever it says about me. If I had his book here, I would use it for kindling. |

From: Bobert Date: 09 Jan 08 - 05:15 PM Well, gol danged, look as if LH made an appealing argument for the Justice job even if I have to promise him 83 virgins to go along with it... 'Ertails somethin' like that... I'll get up with jacqui and work up the details... Meanwhile, looks as if Amos has no interest in the State Department and wants to be the resident bean-counter so, hey, what's a hillbilly to do but make him Treasuer Secretary... Hang in there, gnu... Lets see how you hold up over the next couple days before talkin' about the Under-secretary of Why-Women-Do-What-They-Do-Anyway position... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: PoppaGator Date: 09 Jan 08 - 05:41 PM R. Crumb just likes fat chicks, and especially enjoys being given piggy-back rides by them. The female form as he draws it is supposedly his personal ideal, even though most of the rest of us find that particular type to be unattractive. He has been married for quite a few years (presumably happily) and in recent years he and his wife have co-produced comics, each of them drawing the image of him/her self. Judging by the drawings, Mrs. Crumb is fairly heavyset, or "big-boned." They're both Americans and are currently living, more or less permanently, in the south of France. Chacun a son gout. Maybe my French spelling isn't what it used to be, but what I mean is, "Each to his own taste." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 05:54 PM Well, as you say, PoppaGator, it's a matter of taste, isn't it? I like delicate, articulate beauties like Winona Ryder in her prime, women who radiate keen intelligence, grace, and subtlety. I don't go for sweaty Earth Mothers in size 28 hiking boots. Robert Crumb's taste and mine are clearly as far apart as this planet and the outer edge of the Galaxy. I found his influence on the youth perceptions in the 60's and 70's to be lamentable, frankly, but I could say that about most of the underground artists of the time, although Gilbert Shelton did some good stuff. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Amos Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:12 PM Oh, Bobert, ya got me all wrong. I proposed tax reform as a means of revitalizing the hopes f the American people, not because I want to be Treasury. I'll take State or Interior before Treasury, if you don't mind, or as I said earlier, an ambassadorship to Curacao or Aruba... A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:25 PM Here's another thing I'd do: end the trade embargo on Cuba. Also, I would eliminate the existing travel restrictions to Cuba for American citizens. There is no reason why Americans should not be allowed to visit Cuba the same way they are allowed to visit any other country. And another: put an end to NAFTA. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Bobert Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:43 PM Yeah, we'll put that in the platform, LH... But we'll go even further... Seein' as Cuba is full of ol' collectbale 40's and 50's American cars we'll crank up a Department of Cool Cars... And we'll have an office right there in Havana and help the Cuban's move right into updated 80's cars in exchange fir them eyesores... (hehehehe) (Bad, BObert, bad...) I'm sorry... I juts love ol' cars and, geeze, they gotta bunch of 'um... Yo, Amos, Will you make up yer mind between tax policies and snail darters and screech owls??? I mean, there's a vast difference here... Which reminds me... We gonna have to do something about these friggin' deer... The country is being overrid with the sumabichs... They is everywhere and they breed like flies... That's one for "Interior", Amos... Got any ideas, other than what we are now doing which is killin' 'um one at a time with our cars??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 07:00 PM I've driven in Pennsylvania at night....yup...too dang many deer out there! Something has to be done. I would say to increase the hunting of deer in those areas where they have overpopulated and also encourage more wolves and coyotes to keep them down to a certain level. ;-) There are some deer around here too, in central Ontario, but their numbers seem to be much more moderate for some reason. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: gnu Date: 09 Jan 08 - 07:15 PM Uh... after what LH posted, nevermind. He knows far more about women that I ever will... or want to. Gee, I hope you get over the pukes. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Amos Date: 09 Jan 08 - 07:31 PM Hell, give The Interior to Little Hawk. I'll take State. About time someone got over there and gave a Sala'am to the Iranians, sorted out the dogs in Afghanistan. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Bobert Date: 09 Jan 08 - 07:50 PM Well, now yer talkin', Amos... Leave them snail darters and horney owls to the tree huggers... I wouldn't have a clue, nor would I suspect you of, having mush to down with horney owls... Shoot, we all got our problems... Get over it... Nevermind that... Yer the man... Yup, the day I am innagurated you will be on your way to Iran... Not to worry, I'll be sure that there's plenty of good booze on Air Force One fir ya' so between meetin's you can sneak back to the airport to, ahhhh, go over some notes (wink, wink...) Plus I'll be sure that you not only have enough of that yummy and "highly" laced KFC chicken for yourself but for your Iranian counterparts as well... We're gonna get a deal done... Maybe even set up a couple KFC's in Iran just to keep everyone over there real happy... Know what I mean??? But we don't need to be talkin' about that right now... Just glad to have someone of yer caibre on board where we need it... Condi Rice has really messed things up but with a KFC bucket in one hand and another KFC in the other there is nothing that cannot be accomplished... Man, yer gonna love seein' Putin-head all messed up... You know why they call him Putin-head, don't ya... Of course you do... Okay, LH, you seem to br sittin' on the fence between organizing a posse to hunt down deer and sticking Cheney in jail for a couple hundred years... Yer gonna have to think this thru... Folks is countin' on you... Myself??? Ahhhhh, I like shootin' deer... Shot one of the sumabichs just a couple days ago but I'd love to be the one who escorted Cheney to a jail cell and listen to him blubbering about his bad heart an all??? Whew... It's tough... Deer or Cheney??? Cheney or Deer??? B~ |

No, that's where I draw the line... But nevermind Ronnie fir a danged minute... What's Jody Foster got to do with Shanty Sings??? Nevermind that one... Lets get down to brass tacks here... What exactly are Shanty Sings??? Maybe we need a Department of What-Are-Shanty-Sings??? I don-no??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Donuel Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:58 PM To help finance the campaign my stock broker Gorlock suggests investing in moon rocks. He says its better than gold since no one is likely to steal the moon. Art is no longer a good investment. Due to the mortgage crises even the art world is in turmoil. The $50 million Piccasso that was stolen in Spain today with the use of a crow bar and auto jack is no longer worth $50 million. The insurance company will only pay out $150 which they claim is comparable to current ebay prices. So I will donate a deed to 25 acres of moon estate which is equal to 53 hetares of moon rock which in Earth gravity is 2,566,888 metric tons of moon rock valued at 42Trillion dollars if it were on Earth. Don't spend it in one state. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Skivee Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:59 PM Why, that's simple President-Soon-to-be-Elect Bobert. Yer shanty sings is where a bunch of folks who never seen more than a bathtub fulla water sing about their life on the sea. It's easy. I do it all the time, arrrh. It's that kinda experience that will give your administration the people's touch...make you one of the common man...the salt of the Earth. A Department of Shanty Singing will make you one of us. Read some of my position reports, then you just go on national television and sing songs about slaughtering whales, and getting drunk, and the various rude things you will be doing to whores on shore, then you will win the hearts and minds of the people. Folks'll(that's a little sailor joke) be talking about you fer days. |

Now, all we need is some "whores" who will lie about me shackin' up with them to make it seem, ahhhhh, authentic, right??? Hey, Skinzz... Yer the one with all this expwerience so it shouldn't be no problem comin' (no pun intended) up with the "whores"... Please don't make 'um too uglee... I do have my pride, you know... Plus, I'm in the middle of a campaign... One thing about runnin' fir president is that you don't want to get associated with a danged "whore" that ain't got any teeth... No sir... Maybe you nedd to get up with jacqui... She is a pro... She'll find me some upstanding "whore", like Juil;is Roberts in "Pretty Woman"... Yeah, that oughtta get us electercated... Yo, Donuel... You is a genious, mah man... Mooon rocks is in!!! Folkin A, they is... Hey, like howz anyone gonna know if it came from the moon 'er from yer backyard??? We sell the somabiches that we always hit every time we try to plant a new shrub and we call 'um "moon rocks" and in no time at all we done solt up 'nuff of them moon rocks to end the national debt!!! Who would have thought that one up??? Not only do we get5 baxck into a surplus but we find folks willin' to help us take them nasty rocks outta our gardens... Janie??? You on to this one??? I mean, this is like Cowabunga X 100!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 09 Jan 08 - 09:35 PM I don't believe in capital punishment for human beings, Bobert...except in extreme cases of military misbehaviour under wartime in an active war zone...that's a special case. In other words, I would execute my own military personnel if they were caught raping civilians, looting, and a few specific military crimes of that sort. That's because war is a situation where you simply can't allow things to get that far out of control with your own forces, it's like a cancer that can destroy a whole army and you must take immediate action to nip it in the bud. I would also give orders in some cases to fire on civilian looters if it was happening in a war zone. I would not execute normally civilians for crimes they are found guilty of, however, no matter what they have done, I would imprison them. So if Cheney was found guilty of treason, murder, whatever, I would imprison him. Deer? Yeah, if there are too many you have to reduce them somehow. gnu - How can one get to the point of knowing more about women than one wants to??? ;-) I don't get that. Look, here's a Robert Crumb version of an alluring woman: "Devil Girl" Disgusting. Here's my version of an alluring woman (Winona in company with Johnny Depp at the time): Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp Quel difference! |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Janie Date: 09 Jan 08 - 11:27 PM UH-OH. Problems within the team already. I ain't losing weight, wearin' lipstick, tossin' out my old gardening boots or remembering to comb my hair just so's LH don't lose his cookies every time I walk into a Cabinet meeting. My gardens are trim and well-groomed, but I'm a natural born big boned, broad-shouldered, kinda beefy, untidy looking frump. Flat-chested, though. Moon rocks? Great idea! I got a pile of 'em started already. I understand that all those great old American cars in Cuba have been very ingeniously refitted over time with Soviet made parts and engines. All we need to do to control the deer population is to quit cutting down forests and turning them into farms, housing developments and towns. Stop making habitat for them. (A few natural predators would help too, no doubt.) We ought to be able to incorporate that into our environmental policies. I live in town and wake up to several in my yard every single morning. I can sit on my front porch late at night and by the light of the street-lamps watch small herds of 4 to 10 walk down the middle of the street toward the river, two blocks away. Don't hardly never hear or see a bunch of womenz scratchin' their heads (nor their privates either) genericly tryin' to figger out why menz is the way they are. Ponder that one. Now, do enough of us like sward chard that I should order seed? One of those varieties with all the pretty colored stems would look right nice growing along the the front fence of the White House.

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Skivee Date: 09 Jan 08 - 11:42 PM Well, just to give you an idea of the songs I have in mind, I thought I would send along and excerpt from one of Hugill's "Unfortunate Songs Of The Sea". This one is called "A sailor reflects on his life": I just come home from across the sea stabbing whales in the place they do dwell And dropped me hook in a knocking shop with a one legged whore namma Nell Her festerin' sisters were covered in blisters they treated with unguents and gell She had beautiful teeth, One above, one beneath But oh, my lord, what a smell There are twenty more verses, each more tender than those before. Maybe you could use some version of it for your campaogn theme song? |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Bobert Date: 10 Jan 08 - 08:53 AM Thanks fir not sharin' the other 20 verses, Skivz... Them two were quite enough... I styill don't think we need a cabinet level department for these songs or the folks who sing them... Maybe some meds, at best, and a comforting ((hug))... Yo, LH... I understand yer position on capital punishment and it is consistent with a Bobert administration... We also agree on womenz... I though you had a thing for Hillary... What happened there??? You ain't the love-'um-and-leave-'um type, are you??? Yo, Janie... 'Round here they call any leafy thing that you boil down and eat "salad"... Don't much matter if its beet tops, mustard, kale, swiis chard... They is all very good for ya'... Lotta anti-oxidents and iron and keep you away from the Geritol.... Also, under a Bobert administartion every fast food resturant will be required to serve one green veggie with ever order of fries... Okay, we ain't gonna go as far as our moms did in makin' folks sit in McDonalds until they have eaten the veggie but at least folks is gonna know that they is good for you... That's 'bout it... And everyone keep our message in mind, "A little pot in every chicken"... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Dave'sWife Date: 10 Jan 08 - 09:57 AM Bobert, can we change the National Anthem to Shenendoah or This Land is Your Land? Pleeez - maybe add some verse I guess. I think Shenendoah is a better choice than America the Beautiful or God Bless America which people have agitated for over the years. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Bobert Date: 10 Jan 08 - 10:52 AM Well, yeah... We need something that folks can actually sing, which the current one ain't... I'm open to suggestions... No, not "Free Bird", thank you... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Throws Hat in the Ring... From: Little Hawk Date: 10 Jan 08 - 01:56 PM There's always been something I liked about Hillary, Bobert, but I'm not sure what it was exactly. Maybe it was the fact that Republicans hate her so. ;-) But mainly I made all those declarations of undying love for her just to bug certain people here...like Amos and Doug R, for example. ;-D Janie - Actually, I have no objection to being around people of all different physical sizes and types...I just hate the way Robert Crumb arbitrarily chooses to draw the imaginary women in his grotesque comics, and the sadistic way he chooses to treat them...like receptacles. I think most women would object to it too, that's my guess, and the foreword to his latest book seems to confirm that. The man's mind is in a permanent gutter. He is akin to a human armpit desperately in need of some soap. The one positive thing I can say about him is...he apparently has a good appreciation of the history of the acoustic blues. |
