Rove: Iraq war feeds public's "sour" mood |
Now that Bush says the Mexican border will be "secured", the terrorists will have to change their illegal immigration plans -- they'll now have to come across our northern border, or easier yet arrive by skiff, Cigarette or a cruise ship on our east and west borders!
"A German publication did an interview with the president and asked Mr. Bush what was his best moment of his presidency, and he said it was the day that he caught a 7.5 pound perch. I couldn't make that up. Now, he leaves out the part that he was fishing in downtown New Orleans." --Bill Maher

Bush Diplomacy Gives Finger
The Bush administration is banning arms sales from the U.S. to Venezuela, America's fifth-largest source for oil imports, because of what it says is a lack of support by President Hugo Chavez's government for counterterrorism activities.

of Sharks fans who loudly booed the Canadian national anthem before Game 5 of a
second-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers.
"This showed a lack of respect to our Canadian neighbors, to the players of both

Mayor Ron Gonzales said in a statement.

Grandma and the National Guard
Yet another dangerous grandma
headed to the border.
Seems her Medicare prescription plan is also in such disorder!
Deadlines, penalties, and plan confusion.
Her Medicare health plan is just an illusion!
She must again leave her own nation
Just to get her medication!
Prescription drugs in Mexico so much cheaper.
With Medicare - in her pocketbook she must dig deeper!
Forced to become a lawbreaker geriatric.
Understanding Medicare plans makes her psychiatric!
No rational middle ground
Can anywhere be found!
Grandma tried for answers in many a telephone call.
All she got was a stall!
Now, to her utter dismay -
Her telephone is monitored 24-7 by the NSA!
Will the old lady by the National Guard be caught
Because of the cheaper medication she bought?
Will the National Guard search her full body
Because of what Medicare does now embody?
Will Grandma become a Cheney stuffed trophy 'quail'
Because of her medication sale?

The part I love is that Bush says he caught a 7.5 pound perch, when the biggest perch on record is 4.3 pounds. Bush lied and a fish died, that's all I have to say. And Cheney went even further. He said when they pulled the fish out of the water it greeted them as liberators." --Bill Maher
