Yet More Dubya

Considering I have missed reading many political blogs since being banned from Blogger, its amazing how many Dubya links I've managed to collect. I had been using the blogroll from Simply Left Behind when I should have been bookmarking them. Oh well, a lot of those blogs would be unavailable to me now anyway. But you should go take a look! Thanks to those who sent submissions. I’m always glad to get new material to share!

Some of my favorite political bloggers made the first round cut for the Koufax Awards' Best New Blog category! Voting is not open yet, but I recommend Simply Left Behind, The Tao of Politics, and Driftglass.

Weird pictures of Bush that aren’t even photoshopped.

Wreck the Nation board game.

Aery Ant tells us what to expect from Dubya in 2006.

The invasion of Iraq as a text-adventure game.

Remember the Million Dollar Homepage? Now someone is trying to raise money by covering up Bush’s face. Check out those who have already spent money on this!

The Ronald Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane is a website with various political protest links that will either make you laugh, cry, or spew anger. Its subtitled "bad taste for a good cause", so you've been warned. (Thanks, Kathy!)

Mark Fiore animation about Dubya, Georgelandia. And one on the Abramoff business: Jackopoly. Of course, Dubya has NOTHING to do with Abramoff.

A movie ad mix that I wouldn’t post, due to the title, but you can see it here. You’ve been warned.

Highlights of Al Gore’s January 16th speech that you didn’t see on TV. He'd have made a good-looking president if he had gotten enough votes. Oh, thats right, he DID get more votes than Dubya!


THE DEATH BED (lifted from Simply Left Behind)

The old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital. He motioned for one of his aides to come near.

"Yes father" said the aide.

"I would really like to see President Bush and Congressman DeLay before I die" whispered the priest.

"I'll see what I can do, father" replied the aide.

The aide sent the request to the White House and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. The president and congressman would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Congressman Delay commented to the president "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images after the number the Democrats have done on us." The president couldn't help but agree.

When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took President Bush's hand in his right hand and Congressman DeLay's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

Finally Congressman DeLay spoke "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

"Amen" said President Bush

"Amen" said Congressman DeLay

The old priest continued..."He died between two criminals. I would like to do the same."


Should the government have access to internet search records? Maybe, if there is some reason to believe criminal activity is going on. But the Justice Dept. is asking for everyone’s search records! But hey, what’s a few privacy rights, anyway, compared to the great danger this country is in? YOU can help the government by making your search activity public with Patriot Search. Its the PATRIOTIC thing to do!

Then again, if you're one of those privacy-rights nuts, you can make your searches anonymous. Or eventually our lives will end up like this. (Thanks, Eva!)

The Preacher's Experiment

While his son was at school the preacher went into the boy's room and placed on his study table three objects: A Bible, a silver dollar, and a bottle of whiskey.

"Now then," the old preacher said to himself, "I'll just hide behind the door here, and when my son comes home from school this afternoon,
I'll see which of these three objects he picks up. If he picks up the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be. If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be o.k. too. But, if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a drunkard - a no good drunkard and Lord, what a shame that would be."

The old man was anxious as he waited, and soon he heard his son's footsteps as he came into the house whistling and headed back to his room. He deposited his books on the bed, as a matter of routine, and as he turned around to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With a curious set in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. He picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink...

"Lord have mercy," the old man whispered, "He's gonna be a politician!"
