I assume that was a typo, scutor, and that, instead of "but," you meant to write "buttom."
Eh, maybe that joke has gone too far.

We all think he's great too. I was trying to list my favourite things about the US and I came up with: straight white teeth, Thelonious Monk, Thomas Pynchon, FB, Susan Sarandon's collarbones, pedal steel, Bill Hicks and cheese in a aerosol can, but all of these were close runnersup to the man who gives blind obedience a good name. Thank you. Whatever hopelessly clotted genepool he's from, keep up the good work.

BUSH ADS, AN OCCASIONAL SERIES
By Jonah Goldberg
I used to be a television producer, though I never wrote scripts for commercials. But I think it'd be fun to try. So for the next few months I'll occasionally drop a hypothetical script in the Corner which the Republicans are free to use. Maybe, I'll even try a couple for Kerry too. I invite my fellow Cornerites to do the same. Here's my first try:
Scene: In the caves of Tora Bora, Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and their aides are watching TV. The cave is illuminated by the light from the screen.
Cut to clip from Wisconsin Democratic debate:
Questioner: Senator Kerry, President Bush … described himself as a war president. He said he's got war on his mind as he considers these policies and decisions he has to make. If you were elected, would you see yourself as a war president?
KERRY: I'd see myself first of all as a jobs president, as a health care president, as an education president and also an environmental president. ….So I would see myself as a very different kind of global leader than George Bush.
Cut to Omar and Bin Laden high-fiving each other and wearing John Kerry for President T-shirts.
Fade to black.
Graphic: Re-Elect George W. Bush. The leadership America needs now.

In the spirit of politics from a "humorous" approach. Here is Larry David's (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) take on rigors of Bush's National Guard duty. This was in the New York Times last week.
My War
By LARRY DAVID
Published: February 15, 2004
LOS ANGELES
I couldn't be happier that President Bush has stood up for having served in the National Guard, because I can finally put an end to all those who questioned my motives for enlisting in the Army Reserve at the height of the Vietnam War. I can't tell you how many people thought I had signed up just to avoid going to Vietnam. Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, I was itching to go over there. I was just out of college and, let's face it, you can't buy that kind of adventure. More important, I wanted to do my part in saving that tiny country from the scourge of Communism. We had to draw the line somewhere, and if not me, then who?
But I also knew that our country was being torn asunder by opposition to the war. Who would be here to defend the homeland against civil unrest? Or what if some national emergency should arise? We needed well-trained men on the ready to deal with any situation. It began to dawn on me that perhaps my country needed me more at home than overseas. Sure, being a reservist wasn't as glamorous, but I was the one who had to look at myself in the mirror.
Even though the National Guard and Army Reserve see combat today, it rankles me that people assume it was some kind of waltz in the park back then. If only. Once a month, for an entire weekend — I'm talking eight hours Saturday and Sunday — we would meet in a dank, cold airplane hangar. The temperature in that hangar would sometimes get down to 40 degrees, and very often I had to put on long underwear, which was so restrictive I suffered from an acute vascular disorder for days afterward. Our captain was a strict disciplinarian who wouldn't think twice about not letting us wear sneakers or breaking up a poker game if he was in ill humor. Once, they took us into the woods and dropped us off with nothing but compasses and our wits. One wrong move and I could've wound up on Queens Boulevard. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to find my way out of there and back to the hangar. Some of my buddies did not fare as well and had to call their parents to come and get them.
Then in the summer we would go away to camp for two weeks. It felt more like three. I wondered if I'd ever see my parakeet again. We slept on cots and ate in the International House of Pancakes. I learned the first night that IHOP's not the place to order fish. When the two weeks were up, I came home a changed man. I would often burst into tears for no apparent reason and suffered recurring nightmares about drowning in blueberry syrup. If I hadn't been so strapped for cash, I would've sought the aid of a psychiatrist.
In those days, reserve duty lasted for six years, which, I might add, was three times as long as service in the regular army, although to be perfectly honest, I was unable to fulfill my entire obligation because I was taking acting classes and they said I could skip my last year. I'll always be eternally grateful to the Pentagon for allowing me to pursue my dreams.
Still, after all this time, whenever I've mentioned my service in the Reserve during Vietnam, it's been met with sneers and derision. But now, thanks to President Bush, I can stand up proudly alongside him and all the other guys who guarded the home front. Finally, we no longer have to be embarrassed about our contribution during those very trying years.
Larry David, who served in the Army Reserve in the 1970's, appears in the HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm." |

And for a minute there, I almost thought Larry David was serious and not being sarcastic...I thought he actually SUPPORTED Bush. Thank god, I almost lost a little respect for him. I love Larry David.

Conversely, this means I will stop watching Seinfeld reruns and will never watch "Curb". My boycott list is huge. Man, I hope Frank never mouths off on politics. |

So what's up with this John Kerry flake? He seems kind of dull from what I've seen of him. (not to go off topic or anything)

I think I read in a thread that GypsyDeath is also quite fond of Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead. Anyway, new signature to try out; a bit of an inside joke.

I might chip in a few bucks if Bush wants to produce a commercial advertising that Bin Laden hasn't been caught. |

Could they do it cartoon super hero style, like on Saturdaynite Live's knock off of the old 70's cartoons.
