Political Funny Bone Ticklers

Vote for ME!

2010-10-17T16:13:00.000-07:00

This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for (salary is about $179,000 per year). I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

AND SENIORS DIDNT GET A RAISE IN SOCIAL SECURITY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want a 3 day work week! I want to get $179,000 a year for playing games online at work. Think "You've Got Mail" had it right.....Virginia having to remove solitaire from government computers! Wish I could remember the actual quote!

Came to me via email as usual.....

I was ready to call FEMA and get mine until I noticed the fine print (sigh).

Offer void to Republicans, taxpayers, or any productive member of society.

What's in a Billion?

2008-09-17T11:51:00.000-07:00

The next time you hear a politician use the word
'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether
you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax
money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of putting
that figure into some perspective in one of it's
releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in
the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth
on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only8 hours and
20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans ....It's amazing what
you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION
DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number...what does it mean?

A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of
New Orleans (every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.

B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes
in New Orleans, your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or... if you are a family of four...your family
gets $2,066,012.

Washington, D. C. HELLO! Are all your calculators
broken??

Immigration

2008-03-05T23:00:00.000-08:00

Texas Poll

The latest poll taken by the office
of the Governor of Texas asked
whether people who live in Texas
think illegal immigration is a
serious problem:

35% of respondents answered:
"Yes, it is a serious problem."

65% of respondents answered:
"No es una problema seria."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Texas Republicans [Not sure why Democrats
weren't invited to vote on it?] are being asked
to vote "Yes" or "No" on three propositions this
year.

The results will assist the Republican Party,
candidates, and elected officials in crafting
future laws and policies:

Proposition 1 - Immigration:
Federal, state and local officials should be
required to enforce U.S. immigration laws
in order to secure our borders.

6,717 Yes
110 No

[These were the only figures I could find so
may not be representative of the entire
state voting...at least I pray not! Even with
the horrendous weather the last
few days, voting day was sunny but cold.
WHERE are the voters????]

Politics as Usual

2008-03-05T22:30:00.000-08:00

Politics Explained as Cows

SOCIALISM
You have two cows. You keep one and give one to
your neighbor.

COMMUNISM
You have two cows. The government takes them
both and provides you with milk.

FASCISM
You have two cows. The government takes them
and sells you the milk.

BUREAUCRACY
You have two cows. The government takes them
both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk,
and then pours it down the drain.

CAPITALISM
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.

CORPORATE
You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to
produce the milk of four cows, then act surprised
when it drops dead.

DEMOCRACY
You have two cows. The government taxes you to
the point that you must sell them both in order to pay
the taxes to support a man in a foreign country who
has only one cow which was a gift from your government.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Illegal Immigration Solution

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing
that our government can track a cow born in Canada
almost three years ago, right to the stall where she
sleeps in the state of Washington. And they tracked
her calves to their stalls.

But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens
wandering around our country. Maybe we should give
them all a cow.

Best Patients

Five surgeons are discussing who makes
the best patients on the operating table.

The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants
on my operating table, because when you open
them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try
electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."

The third surgeon says, "No, I really think
librarians are the best; everything inside them
is in alphabetical order."

The fourth surgeon chimes in: "You know,
I like construction workers...those guys always
understand when you have a few parts left over
at the end, and when the job takes longer than
you said it would."

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he
observed: "You're all wrong.

Politicians are the easiest to operate on.
There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and
the head and butt are interchangeable."

Out of the mouths of Stupid People

2007-11-27T19:30:00.000-08:00

It's not true....you can snope it here: Snopes.com

But it SOUNDS like it could be true! And it's just plain funny. If you go by Leno on the street, it ain't that far-fetched!

A Washington, DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why our country is in trouble!

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane?!)

2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information. Then she interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts. " Without trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa." Her response - click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state. He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!"

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, "Is it possible to see England from Canada?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close on the map."

5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time."

6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 am and got to Chicago at 8:33 am. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

[C~B~N took a call one time from some yankee lady working for some insurance conglomerate who wanted to speak to a billing dept for a Dr.'s office. I explained the office was not in yet but if she would call back at 8am they would be in and could transfer her call to billing. She said it was already 8am. I inquired from where she was calling and it was like Michigan. I explained we are CST {central standard time} and were an hour behind her timewise that it was only 7:15am. She then proceeded to argue with me going so far as to state I needed to learn how to tell time! I told her POLITELY one more time to call back in 45 minutes as it would then be 8am in the STATE OF TEXAS and hung up on the crazy fool!!!]

7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I said, "No, why do you ask?" She replied, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said 'FAT', and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!" After putting her on hold for a minute while I looked into it, I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, CA is 'FAT' (Fresno Air Terminal ), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.

8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California, and then take the train to Hawaii?"

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them."

10. A lady Senator called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, Fl. on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever, smarty!"

11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded him that he needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those." I double checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!"

12. A New Mexico Congresswoman called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York." I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, I came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is Check your map!" So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?" The reply? "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal."

Visual Statistics

2007-08-12T21:20:00.000-07:00

Running the Numbers
An American Self-Portrait

This new series looks at contemporary
American culture through the austere
lens of statistics.

Each image portrays a specific
quantity of something: fifteen million
sheets of office paper (five minutes of
paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans
(thirty seconds of can consumption)
and so on.

My hope is that images representing
these quantities might have a different
effect than the raw numbers alone,
such as we find daily in articles and
books. Statistics can feel abstract
and anesthetizing, making it difficult
to connect with and make meaning
of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year,
for example, or 2.3 million Americans
in prison, or 426,000 cell phones
retired every day.

This project visually examines these
vast and bizarre measures of our
society, in large intricately detailed
prints assembled from thousands of
smaller photographs.

My only caveat about this series is
that the prints must be seen in person
to be experienced the way they are
intended. As with any large artwork,
their scale carries a vital part of their
substance which is lost in these little
web images.

Hopefully the JPEGs displayed here
might be enough to arouse your
curiosity to attend an exhibition, or
to arrange one if you are in a position
to do so. The series is a work in progress,
and new images will be posted as they
are completed, so please stay tuned.

Beer

2007-08-12T21:15:00.000-07:00

Two Arabs boarded a flight out
of New York after a hockey game.
One sat in the window seat and
the other sat in the middle seat.

Just before takeoff, an American
got on and took the aisle seat.

After takeoff, the American kicked
his shoes off, wiggled his toes and
was settling in when the Arab
in the window seat said, "I think
I'll get up and get a beer."

"No problem," said the American,
"I'll get it for you."

While he was gone, one of the
Arabs picked up the American's
shoe and spat in it.

When he returned with the beer,
the other Arab said, "That looks
good, I think I'll have one too."

Again, the American obligingly
went to fetch the beer and while
he was gone the other Arab picked
up the American's other shoe and
spat in it.

When the American returned to
his seat, they all sat back and
enjoyed the flight.

As the plane was landing, the
American slipped his feet into
his shoes and knew immediately
what had happened .

"Why does it have to be this way?"
he asked.

"How long must this go on?

This fighting between our nations?

This hatred?

This animosity?

This spitting in shoes, and pissing in beers?

The Bank

2007-08-11T23:19:00.000-07:00

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my
check with which I endeavored to pay
my plumber last month. By my calculations,
three nanoseconds must have elapsed
between his presenting the check and
the arrival in my account of the funds
needed to honor it.

I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly
deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement
which, I admit, has been in place for only
eight years. You are to be commended
for seizing that brief window of opportunity,
and also for debiting my account $30
by way of penalty for the inconvenience
caused to your bank.

My thankfulness springs from the manner
in which this incident has caused me to
re-think my errant financial ways.

I noticed that whereas I personally answer
your telephone calls and letters,
--- when I try to contact you, I am
confronted by the impersonal, overcharging,
pre-recorded, faceless entity which your
bank has become. From now on, I, like you,
choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood
person!

My mortgage and loan repayments will
therefore and hereafter no longer be
automatic, but will arrive at your bank,
by check, addressed personally and
confidentially to an employee at your bank
whom you must nominate. Be aware
that it is an offense under the Postal Act
for any other person to open such an
envelope. Please find attached an Application
Contact which I require your chosen
employee to complete.

I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in
order that I know as much about him
or her as your bank knows about me,
there is no alternative. Please note that
all copies of his or her medical history
must be countersigned by a Notary Public,
and the mandatory details of his/her
financial situation (income, debts, assets
and liabilities) must be accompanied
by documented proof.

In due course, at MY convenience, I
will issue your employee with a PIN
number which he/she must quote in
dealings with me. I regret that it cannot
be shorter than 28 digits but, again,
I have modeled it on the number of button
presses required of me to access my
account balance on your phone bank
service. As they say, imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery.

Let me level the playing field even further.
When you call me, press buttons as follows:

IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS
THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH

# 1. To make an appointment to see me
# 2. To query a missing payment.
# 3. To transfer the call to my living room
in case I am there.
# 4. To transfer the call to my bedroom
in case I am sleeping
# 5. To transfer the call to my toilet in
case I am attending to nature.
# 6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone
if I am not at home .
# 7. To leave a message on my computer,
a password to access my computer is required.
Password will be communicated to you at a
later date to that Authorized Contact
mentioned earlier
# 8. To return to the main menu and
to listen to options 1 through 7.
# 9. To make a general complaint or
inquiry. The contact will then be put on
hold, pending the attention of my automated
answering service.
#10. This is a second reminder to
press* for English. While this may, on
occasion, involve a lengthy wait,
uplifting music will play for the duration
of the call. Regrettably, but again following
your example, I must also levy an
establishment fee to cover the setting
up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly
less prosperous New Year?

Your Humble Client

Yeah, I Snoped it

Harsh Laws?

2007-08-11T08:19:00.000-07:00

1. There will be no special bilingual programs
in the schools, no special ballots for elections,
and all government business will be conducted
in our language.

2. Foreigners will NOT have the right to vote,
no matter how long they are here.

3. Foreigners will NEVER be able to hold
political office.

4. Foreigners will not be a burden to the
taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps,
no health care, nor any other government
assistance programs.

5. Foreigners can invest in this country,
but it must be an amount equal to 40,000
times the daily minimum wage.

6. If foreigners do come and want to buy
land that will be okay, BUT options will
be restricted. You are not allowed to own
waterfront property. That property is
reserved for citizens naturally born into
this country.

7. Foreigners may not protest; no
demonstrations, no waving a foreign
flag, no political organizing, no
"bad-mouthing" our president or his
policies. If you do you will be sent home.

8. If you do come to this country illegally,
you will be hunted down and sent straight
to jail.

Too Harsh, you say ?...

The above laws happen to be the immigration
laws of MEXICO !

FHA Loan

2007-08-10T08:20:00.000-07:00

A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA
(Federal Housing Administration) loan
for a client. He was told that the loan
would be granted if he could prove
satisfactory title to a parcel of property
being offered as collateral. The title
to the property dated back to 1803,
which took the lawyer three months to
track down.

After sending the information to FHA,
he received the following reply:
"Upon review of your letter adjoining
your client's loan application, we note
that the request is supported by an
Abstract of Title. While we compliment
the able manner in which you prepared
and presented the application, we must
point out that you have only cleared the
Title to the proposed collateral property
back to the year 1803. Before final
approval can be accorded, it will be
necessary to clear the title back to its
origin."

Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows:

"Your letter regarding Titles in Case
No. 189156 has been received. I note
that you wish to have Titles extended
further than the 194 years covered by
the present application. I was unaware
that any educated person in this country,
particularly those working in the property
arena, would not know that Louisiana
was purchased by the U.S. from France
in 1803, the year of origin identified
in our application.

"For the edification of uninformed FHA
bureaucrats, the title to the land prior
to U.S. ownership was obtained from
France, which had acquired it by Right
of Conquest from Spain. The land came
into possession of Spain by Right of
Discovery made in the year 1492 by a
sea captain named Christopher Columbus,
who had been granted the privilege of
seeking a new route to India by the then
reigning monarch, Isabella.

"The good queen, being a pious woman and
careful about titles, almost as much as the
FHA, took the precaution of securing the
blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels
to fund Columbus' expedition.

The Tax Man Cometh

2007-04-15T16:30:00.000-07:00

C~B~N is LOL as this is exactly MY case! Really, ID theft could only help! LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At a business conference in Montpelier, Vermont, the state tax commissioner asked the audience which sort of taxation they found fairest.

There was a pause, and then a white-haired man in the back raised his hand.

"The poll tax," he said.

"But the poll tax was repealed," replied the commissioner.

"Ay-yuh," declared the man, "that's what I like about it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A young whippersnapper of an I.R.S. auditor decides to make a name for himself by auditing a synogogue. He goes over their books with a microscope, insisting that the Rabbi explain every detail of running the syngogue, down to what they do with the wax drippings from the Shabbat, habdalah, and Hannukah candles.

The Rabbi is more than happy to show the irritating little beaurocrat that nothing goes to waste, so he explains that all the wax drippings are saved, then shipped back to the candle factory, who sends the synogogue a little pack of free candles with their next order.

"What about the Matzo crumbs from the Passover?" the IRS auditor asks him.

That's easy the Rabbi answers with a twinkle in his eye. We send them back to the kosher bakery, and they send us back a little extra matzo with our next order.

The obnoxious auditor is determined to get the best of the Rabbi. "I know you're a Moyel as well as a Rabbi", he says. What do you do with the leftovers from the circumcisions?

The Rabbi smiles. "We send them off to Washington D.C. and they send us back a little prick like you!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, this IS a politically "incorrect" funny bone tickler!!

My new Lexus

2007-02-24T04:16:00.000-08:00

I got a new Lexus 350 for Christmas and returned it to the
dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work.

The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

"Nelson," the salesman said to the radio. The Radio replied,
"Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie!" he continued and "On The Road Again" came from
the speakers.

Then he said, "Ray Charles!" and in an instant "Georgia On My
Mind" replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd
say,"Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said,
"Beatles,"I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my
new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them.

I yelled, "A~~ Holes!" Immediately the French National
Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara
Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie
Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan
Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry
Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch.

Man! I LOVE this car!

Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this. It is part of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald, who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why. They'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

About Last Night, God

2007-01-13T01:35:00.000-08:00

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed at home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed,"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in eight hours while my wife merely stays at home.

I want her to know what I go through, so please create a trade in our bodies.

"God, in His infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the drycleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw out money to pay the power bill and telephone bill, drove to the power company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.

Then it was already 1:00 p.m. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. He ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. He set out cookies and milk and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 PM he began peeling potatoes and washed greens for salads, breaded the chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9:00 PM he was exhausted and though his chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, " Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.

Please, O Lord please, let us trade back."

The Lord, in His infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson, and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.

You'll have to wait 9 months, though.

You got pregnant last night!!!"

Chemical Analysis of Human Elements

2007-01-13T01:30:00.001-08:00

Element name: WOMAN
Symbol: WO

Atomic weight: 'Don't even go there'.

Physical properties: Generally round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze at any time. Melts whenever treated properly. Very bitter if not used well.

Chemical properties: Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses strong affinity to gold, silver, platinum,and precious gemstones. Violent when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a better specimen.

Usage: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income reducing agent known.

Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.

Element name: MAN
Symbol: XY

Atomic weight: (180 +/- 50)

Physical properties: Solid at room temperature. Gets bent out of shape easily. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample. Due to age and rust, older samples are unable to conduct electricity as well as younger samples.

Chemical properties: Attempts to bond with WO any chance it can get. Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with Kd (child) for prolonged periods of time. Can be neutralised by saturating with alcohol.

Usage: None known. Possibly good methane source.

Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell.

Ponderings....

2006-09-07T16:29:00.002-07:00

- "I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

- If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, and drycleaners depressed?

- Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?

- Why is it that if someone tells you that there are one billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?

- If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

- If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland called "Holes?"

- Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts.

- If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?

- Just think how much deeper the ocean would be if sponges didn't live there.

- If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?

More Government Interference: The Story of Creation

2006-09-07T16:28:00.001-07:00

Despite appearances, C~B~N truly is not
anti-government; just against anti-stupidity
which unfortunately, the government
has in abundance. It's like they check
their common sense in with their coats.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.

Shortly thereafter God was in receipt of a notice to show cause why he shouldn't be cited for failure to file an environmental impact statement. He was granted a temporary planning permit for the project, but was stymied by a Cease and Desist Order for the earthly part.

At the hearing, God was asked why he began his earthly project in the first place. He replied that he just liked to be creative.

Then God said, "Let there be light."

Officials immediately demanded to know how the light would be made. Would it require strip mining? What about thermal pollution?

God explained that the light would come from a huge ball of fire, and provisional approval was granted with the proviso that no smoke would result.

The authorities demanded the issuance of a building permit, and (to conserve energy) required that the light be left off half the time. God agreed, saying he would call the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Officials replied that they were only interested in protecting the environment, not in semantics.

God said, "Let the earth bring forth green herb and such as many seed."

The EPA agreed, so long as only native seed was used.

Then God said, "Let waters bring forth creeping creatures having life; and the fowl that may fly over the earth."

Officials pointed out this would require approval from the Department of Game coordinated with the Heavenly Wildlife Federation and the Audubongelic Society.

Everything went along smoothly until God declared that he intended to complete the project in six days.

Officials informed God it would take at least 200 days to review his many waiver applications and environmental impact statements. After that there would have to be a public hearing, and then there would be a 10-12 month probationary period before....

At this point, God created Hell.

Working for the Government

2006-09-07T16:28:00.000-07:00

A guy stopped at a local gas station and, after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside.

One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole.

The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road. "I can't stand this," said the man tossing the can into a trash container and heading down the road toward the men.

"Hold it, hold it," he said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here with all this digging and refilling?"

"Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one of the men said.

"But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money?"

"You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree and Leroy, here, puts the dirt back.

Now just because Elmer's sick, that don't mean that Leroy and me can't work."

~~~Come on, I know you laughed! How about this one then?~~~

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said someone may steal from it at night, so they created a night watchman position (GS-4) and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning position and hired two people: one person to write the instructions (GS-12) and one person to do time studies (GS-11).

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Q.C. position and hired two people, one GS-9 to do the studies and one GS-11 to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a timekeeper (GS-09) and a payroll officer (GS-11) and hired two people. Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"

So they created an administrative position and hired three people: an Admin. Officer (GM-13), an Assistant Admin. Officer (GS-13) and a Legal Secretary (GS-08).

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost," so

they laid off the night watchman.

Language Lesson

2006-09-07T00:35:00.002-07:00

A friend of mine is an officer in the naval reserve. A few weeks ago, he was attending a conference that included admirals in both the US and the French navies.

At a cocktail reception, my friend found himself in a small group that included an admiral from each of the two navies. The French admiral started complaining that whereas Europeans learned many languages, Americans only learned English.

He then asked. "Why is it that we have to speak English in these conferences rather than you having to speak French?"

Without even hesitating, the American admiral replied. "Maybe it's because we arranged it so that you didn't have to learn to speak German."

The group became silent.

The Soldier and the professor

2006-09-07T00:35:00.001-07:00

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."

The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his Chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform.

The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at theMarine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid sh~t and act like an a~sh~l~.

So, He sent me."

The evils of the Bush administration......

2006-02-17T22:20:00.000-08:00

I am a senior citizen.

During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job.

I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.

Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse.

I lost my job.

I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War.

I lost my homes.

I lost my health insurance.

As a matter of fact I lost virtually everything and became homeless.

Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.

I will do anything that Senator Kerry and Senator Kennedy want to insure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year.

Bush has to go.

Sincerely,

Saddam Hussein
