New Bob Boudelang today...
"And Our Great Health Inhuman Services Secretary Tommy "Tommy" Thompson has announced a swell new plan where one out of every ten lucky people with cancer will actually get medicine for it! What could be fairer than a lottery like that?

Perhaps Mrs. First Lady Bush (who only killed that one guy and I wish you would not bring that up) will dress up in an evening gown like Vanilla White and read the numbers off the ping-pong balls on national TV, so people at home can find out whether they are going to die or not.

But there will be 50,000 lucky winners. Of course, they will still have to pay for the drugs, but at least they will be able to, assuming they will be able to.

Wala! You would not of had an exciting game like that with DemocRats in charge. I think we all know that. "

This story didn't get much play with everything else going on...but it needs to be spread around...and yes, it is TOO real (click the link)

2. You know...

You have to be seriously morally fucked up to celebrate forcing the seriously ill to play a game of chance for their medication.

And then these assholes have the nerve to squeal when anyone compares them to Nazis.

4. And it's brilliant!
I read it a little while ago, and I think it's great!

Glad to hear you've already gotten hate mail.

5. Thanks...
I always know when its good because the lurkers can't resist writing to "Bob"...

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks Bob wandering into "Shrek 2" to protest "Fahrenheit 911" was funny....

6. I am going to have to cover my keyboard and monitor
before I read this stuff again.

And put a plastic sheet on my chair, so the urine won't soak through.

Can I breathe yet? Almost.

Well Done.

10. no that was brilliant
but not having seen Shrek 2 and only having seen a bit of Shrek, it did take me a minute or so to make the connection.

Donkey, I don't remember a donkey? Green Giant? mmm - previews? no, wait what was that. . . ah Shrek. Shrek 2 is out now. aw, now I get it.

9. like the 9/11 commission it could easily have been averted
Sad to report..."Bob" got an angry bit of hate mail from a DUer who will go nameless (lucky for you, Alex)...who seems (from his email) to share Bob's erudition and verbal skill....
