Dubya's statue...why that should be a gift to the Iraqui citizens...they need a new statue to put up after they tore down the one of Saddam...

| QUOTE (stoirmeil @ 08-Mar-2007, 10:52 AM) | Yes, Senara, thanks. This was a very moving little feature on how the small pockets of real, ordinary people are thinking and reacting to real loss, not just spin -- too easy to lose sight of it, too easy.
On the brighter side -- this came to me today from a friend:
Subject: A Monument
Date: 7 March 2007
Dear friends:
I have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise
$5,000,000 for a monument to George W. Bush . We originally wanted to
put him on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for
two more faces.
We then decided to erect a statue of George W in the Washington, D.C. Hall Of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Richard Nixon, who never told the truth, since George could never tell the difference.
We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest Republican of them all. He didn't know where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, destroyed the well-being of the majority of the population while he was there, and did it all on someone else's money.
Thank you.
George W. Bush Monument Committee
(so far we have collected $1.35) |
Ill offer another $.25. I would like to suggest a park just off Pennsylvania avenue. It should be in the middle of the park. It is a doggie park. The males will find it "convenient".

Priests to Purify Site After Bush Visit
By JUAN CARLOS LLORCA
Posted: Today at 12:22 a.m.
GUATEMALA CITY — Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.
"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday.
Bush's seven-day tour of Latin America includes a stopover beginning late Sunday in Guatemala. On Monday morning he is scheduled to visit the archaeological site Iximche on the high western plateau in a region of the Central American country populated mostly by Mayans.
Tiney said the "spirit guides of the Mayan community" decided it would be necessary to cleanse the sacred site of "bad spirits" after Bush's visit so that their ancestors could rest in peace. He also said the rites - which entail chanting and burning incense, herbs and candles - would prepare the site for the third summit of Latin American Indians March 26-30.

Thank you Carolina Scotsmen,
I just fell off my chair laughing.

PS:
I’m sorry, but I think that it’s going to take more then just a priests blessing, to rid anyplace of “Bushes” residue. I think it’s going to take FIRE!
Fire…da da da...

Any opinions? Web sites usually only show the good stuff.

I know Ron Paul somewhat. I actually helped him in a senatorial campaign years ago. Decent guy and no one questions his integrity. Doesn't have a chance at winning a national election, but no question about his honesty. He tends to lean a little too much on the Libertarian side of things for my tastes, but he's better than any major candidate for Pres that we have out there right now. Oh, and John, I have supported Bush in times past and I have hammered him when he's messed up (which has been a lot!). BTW, the light of God in my life has nothing to do with my political views!  Let us know how the big demonstration goes this week.
