...Well ok, we're havin' fun NOW!
Is George 'W' Bush (president of 40 % of the USA) dismantling eco- protections faster than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs?? You BET he is!! W-o-o-o H-o-o!! I hereby sentence all who voted for him to wear 800 of those 'My child shone with excellence at...' bumper stickers on your Ford Extinction.

...Ready for it? Here we go!!...

 

 

Todays USA TODAY (page 18) has a great story entitled 'Upgrading vets cemeteries an uphill battle'... In one paragraph it states "In 120 year old PRESCOTT NATIONAL CEMETARY in Arizona, the homeless are using a picnic table for shelter".....Well, God sakes!! I've got the answer!! Let's just take down that stupid old statue in New York Harbor that says "Give us your poor".
Gee, I'm such a problem solver!

STRANGE FELLOWS:
News flash!! ...OSAMA BIN LADEN and ELVIS PRESLEY were spotted last Friday at a 7-11 in Waukeegan, Ill. !! The President has a plan to BOMB IRAQ in response, and sent a stern warning to Graceland.

In Spain, thousands of tons of oil are washing up on the shore, but no problem, a sub shows NO LEAKING from the submerged tanker. I guess EVERYTHINGS JUST FINE.
......................................................................
IRAQ-
Well, at least we know we've got the right people on the case... We've got Henry 'PENTAGON PAPERS' Kissinger on point, and our weapons inspectors are dressed in leather with whips and chains (one of 'em, anyway). Oh, that Saddam better behave!!

Good News...
In Pittsburgh, a ZOOKEEPER was prodding an 18 year old elephant prisoner to keep her moving while she waited for her 3 year old calf, and he prodded one time too many. (*s-q-u-i-s-h!*) 'Nuff said!
....................................................................
Off the coast of Florida, an angler hooked a large SHARK, who then pulled him into the drink. The SHARK apparently still made it home in time to watch the people fishing channel. The Coroner said the cause of death was - drowning.

Orange County Register, Nov. 23rd...
The headline: "WAR MAY GIVE STOCKS A FIGHTING CHANCE" It went on to say "The length of a sustained market rebound would depend on the length of the conflict"
......................................................................
Most incredible statement...
While arguing for the gov't to be able to bomb sensitive bird habitat in the name of security, a gov't lawyer recently argued:

"This is actually good for bird watchers, because it makes birds rarer, and bird watchers get more enjoyment seeing a rare bird".

Folks, this man needs to be... well, darn it, I'm too afraid to go any further. Homeland security might be listening. They have 40 Billion a year to waste now on stuff like that y'know.

IRVINE, Ca.-
Finally, we here in Orange County are standing in solidarity with TREE SITTER John Quigley as he protects 400 year old OAK 'Old Glory' in Santa Clarita...if you want to come on down to the daily protest to help us hoot and hollar, distribute 'pro-tree' liturature, and jump around like jumping beans, we are at the corner of BRISTOL & JAMBOREE at the headquarters of JOHN LAING HOMES in IRVINE every day from noon to about 2 pm, so make a sign, and c'mon down!!

THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

Love, your pal, joey
