"He has a great sense of humor. Just the other day I asked him, 'Do you know how many terrorists it takes to paint a wall?' And he answered right back, 'It depends on how hard you throw them.' "

1. My, my, why how *civilized* of Lynne Cheney, huh? . . . n/t

6. hoot of a joke

Q: How many Dick Cheneys does it take to press the button and blow up the world on any given day?

A: Depends on whether or not his difibrilator is working that day. And his penile implant.

2. Sounds like a joke we should recycle.

3. Can we talk that way about the IDF around here?

As has oft' been said: one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. The more I study the world the more
I see this to be true. I am sure innocent Iraqi civilians
see the US as terrorists. Robert Fisk believes the term to be
almost meaningless. It comes in mighty handy, however, during The Two Minutes Hate.

9. What are you doing studying the world?

Don't you know that is un-american and anti-christian. See link:

11. snipped...

The residents who gathered in the high school cafeteria last night also organized a plan of action in response to the board's decision. They adopted the name CHOICE USC -- Citizens Hoping for Options in Curriculum and Education.

They decided to form a task force of about 15 members who will coordinate eight "action teams" that will research, communicate and campaign to get the International Baccalaureate program reinstated.

One of the "action teams" formed last night is called PAWS -- Parents are Watching the Schools. Residents assigned to that team will attend every school board meeting and report back to the task force on any initiatives before the board to cut programs or fund other programs.

4. Sick bastards. Don't they know that for a joke to work like that

it has to be so stupid and over-the-top with a hint of truth. That joke was just a statement of fact to this corrupt administration.

5. Oh, and there's more. Here's Dowd's take on Obama's ability

Oh, and there's more. Here's Dowd's take on Obama's ability to political-dinner-joke-speech:

Everyone was curious to hear Barack Obama, the Democratic speaker. He arrived last year as a star (at Washington's dreary formal press dinners), then lapsed into a cipher, even getting punk'd by John McCain last month. In the capital's version of "Dancing With the Stars," Senator Obama won, turning in a smooth, funny performance that lifted him from his tyro track.

He tweaked fellow Democrats, telling the white-tie crowd: "Men in tails. Women in gowns. An orchestra playing, as folks reminisce about the good old days. Kind of like dinner at the Kerrys."

He mocked the president's unauthorized snooping, saying he'd "asked my staff to conduct all phone conversations in the Kenyan dialect of Luo." He advised W. to "spy on the Weather Channel, and find out when big storms are coming."

After saying he'd enjoyed the Olympic biathlon of shooting and skiing, he, deadpan, turned to Dick Cheney: "Probably not your sport, Mr. Vice President."

10. I love this quote from Obama

snipped...
But the clever, elegant performance by Mr. Obama -- who is intent on keeping his head down in the Senate until he, too, can be a tedious insider -- underscored the Democratic vacuum. Not only do the Democrats "stand for anything," as Mr. Obama semijoked, but they have no champion at a time when people are hungry for an exciting leader, when the party should be roaring and soaring against the Bushies' power-mad stumbles. They should groom an '08 star who can run on the pledge of doing what's right instead of only what's far right.
