Bush Issues "Thankfulness List"
Pre-Thanksgiving Radio Address In a special pre-Thanksgiving radio address broadcast from the White House, President George W. Bush asked his fellow Americans to join him in giving thanks for the following things: “My fellow Americans, let’s be thankful for global warming, because as these winter months approach, it makes the world such a nice, toasty place. “Let’s be thankful for all of the food on our tables, unless some of it is from China. “Let’s be thankful that Pakistan will have free and fair elections, and maybe someday we will, too. “Let’s be thankful for the iPhone, except for those losers who actually paid full price for it. “Let’s be grateful that I didn’t take out a subprime mortgage on the White House like Mr. Cheney told me to. “Let's be thankful that nuclear weapons haven’t fallen into the hands of the wrong people, like Nancy Pelosi or Rosie O’Donnell. “Let’s be thankful that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s writers are on strike, and hopefully will stay that way for the rest of my term in office. “Let's be thankful that even though my approval numbers are falling, they’re still higher than my grades at Yale. “Let’s be thankful that Osama bin Laden dyed his hair in his last video, because that made him look really gay. “Let's be thankful for Guitar Hero III, which really helps you get through those long Cabinet meetings when they're going on and on about the economy. “Let's be thankful that our military commanders have nothing bad to say about the war in Iraq until after they’re retired. “Let's be thankful that in nine months it will be August and then I can go on summer vacation again. “And finally, my fellow Americans, let's be thankful that, even though Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, I’m still a lock for the Nobel War Prize.” Andy Borowitz |

Andy Borowitz Every time somebody trots something like this out and into the NG, it issues free license for all the Bush supporters (or the similarly inclined) to cut and paste the latest "talking points" from the same couple of sources and then all hell breaks loose. Every aspect of life doesn't have to revolve around politics or political argument, but when you are Jonesing for a political fist fight there are a bunch of sites set up exactly for that purpose. This is supposed to be a boating NG. We can and should discuss boats without giving a schlitz about who voted for whom in 2004, who is going to vote for whom in 2008. (Heck, if one of the longshots pulls it out in the home stretch I might even vote Republican for the first time since in 20 or 30 years....but *NOBODY* cares!! At least not in a boating NG) When I am talking with a fellow boater across a dock or at a yacht club meeting, we can discuss a million boating related subjects and never get into, "Are you a Democrat or a Republican? Who did you vote for in '04?" In fact, people would think it pretty strange if one wanted to take the conversation off in that direction. Rec BOATS, not rec Votes. :-) |

Why don't the Democrats tell us what they will do if they become President? |

Only 427 days left in the most incompetent administration in US history. And the claim to fame for the previous administration was what again? Adultery? Ignoring world terrorism threats? Failure to do much of anything worthwhile? Do you have any links or sites to prove 'the most...' aspect of that statement ? |
