Bush supports Falwell in drive to ban the book Moby Dick.
In his first visit to a library since 1959, President Bush announced today that he supported his brother Falwell in his crusade to ban pornography from our public libraries. Bush said in his Waco speech, "The question is rarely asked: Is our children learning. Well, our children is learning pornargafee in Amarekur when they should be learning fightun' tearur. I supports revrun Faultweel in his campaign. We will win the war on tearur, and we will win the war on pornargafee (standing ovation and wild applause follows)."

Happy April 1st, 2007.

1. Happy April 1st to you, too.
I clicked on this one because anybody trying to ban one of the great American novels raises my hackles.

I was ready to pounce on the president and that shit-for-brains Falwell for any affront to Melville's classic.

Ishmael speaks for me.

8. He thinks Moby Dick is his
dick, and he only wants Condi to have it but Condi, being a smart if misguided person, doesn't want it anymore. Hopefully, she too now realizes that the Chimp is a moron. Don't go polluting the gene pool, Condi. You don't want your children to grow up to be idiots.

6. Yeah. I get it.
I'm just saying in past years April Fools' Day jokes were put in the lounge.

BTW, this was a pretty good one. At least banning Moby Dick for pornographic content is something Falwell might do. What would you expect of an idiot who sees a homosexual message in the TeleTubbies?
