1. Unintelligent Design...

:rofl:

3. it is comical--which we need at this point.

.......But I know what some of you skeptical types are thinking. You're thinking, hey pal, where's your proof? Where's the actual evidence, the cold, hard facts, to support my contention that unintelligent design has played a role in the decisions of the Bush administration?

Well, that's easy. I have none. Not one shred of solid evidence. But let me ask you this. What evidence do you have that I'm wrong? My theory explaining Bush White House screwups is, by its very nature, impossible to disprove. And if you can't disprove it, then you don't have much choice but to consider it as an alternative.

That's why I'm pushing to have universities start teaching my unintelligent design theory in their political science courses. Sure, these know-it-all professors may be teaching that Bush and his ilk do what they do because they're captives of their own ideology, that they're pandering to baser instincts and popular prejudices to shore up support among certain constituencies, that they're willing to put their own political interests ahead of those of regular Americans.

Yeah, well, maybe. But my theory doesn't take as long to explain on the final.

7. Kerry made a crack about the Bush unintelligent design and the Iraqi

war a few days ago.

[bemildred]

10. Indeed.

:rofl:

[opihimoimoi]

2. From the Results thus far... its fair to say, they are promoting Violence,

War, Discord, Unrest, Fear, Ignorance, Higher Fuel Prices, Divisiveness, Population Reduction, etc.

No one can be so consistently WRONG unless its designed that way.

The evidence clearly shows BushCo wants WAR.... "Bring them ON",

Torture, and an Arrogant Picture of himself.

4. Make sure they teach the Flying Spagetti Monster also!

5. I think of Jr--Cheney and the whole bunch-they make claims-assertions-

and it is the 'truth' ---
well, they do not not need proof--why should the rest of the world need proof?

8. Bush WANTS to lose the war, WANTS global catastrophe

Bush believes he is The Antichrist.

12. Well, He's Convinced ME!

I thought Ronnie was the Anti-Christ, but Dubya is way out in front, now. Ronnie was just the warm-up act, the anti-Baptist, if you will.

11. Borowitz Report - Evolution, Intelligent Design Fail to Explain Bush

EVOLUTION, INTELLIGENT DESIGN FAIL TO EXPLAIN BUSH
Scientists in Oslo Debate Origin of President

At a conference being held this week in Oslo, Norway, over one thousand of the world’s leading scientists have concluded that neither the theory of evolution nor the theory of intelligent design adequately explain President George W. Bush.

The conference, which organizers hoped would shed new light on the origin of the U.S. president, has so far led to more bafflement than insight, according to the University of Tokyo’s Hiroshi Kyosuke.

“There are some here who firmly believe that the theory of evolution explains President Bush, since he shares many characteristics in common with the chimpanzee,” said Mr. Kyosuke, one of the world’s leading zoologists. “And yet, if you put him and a chimp side by side, it is hard to say with any confidence that Mr. Bush has evolved.”

Similarly, supporters of the intelligent design theory have been frustrated in their attempts to apply that theory to President Bush, Mr. Kyosuke said.

“Most efforts to call Mr. Bush the result of intelligent design crumble to dust the moment he opens his mouth,” Mr. Kyosuke said. “So we’re really back to square one.”

As for Mr. Bush’s refusal to speak to antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, Mr. Kyosuke said that he has developed a new theory to explain this phenomenon.

“I believe that President Bush is like ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin,’” Mr. Kyosuke said. “He’s afraid to talk to a woman.”
