      I'm confused, was Gerald Ford hanged?

response #5 by JohnnyRingo:

      Though they say that was Saddam with a noose around his neck....
I saw him fly a jet into the World Trade Center a few years ago, and he walked away from that, so don't count him out.

      Theologian in a major lather over "African American Xmas Dinner"

response #8 by charlie:

      Good grief
What does he think an ethnic dinner is, but a chance to show others how it's done back home? What does he imagine goes on...

"Welcome to the 2006 African American Christmas Dinner! And, as promised.... HERE ARE THE NEGROES! Give 'em a big hand, show your appreciation. Alright! Alright, take a bow guys, thanks for coming. Now, I know the rest of you are raring to tuck into those turkey loaves and jello molds, so... dig in. ENJOY!"

No, wait. He's probably thinking it's an all-black affair. Bereted, bandoliered Black Panthers sitting down to a meal of Solidarity Squash and Class Struggle Cabbage. No Whitey allowed.

Whatta loon.

      What will happen to the fake ranch after 2008?

      Lacking Dubya to defend it, it'll be overrun by brush, which will expand and overwhelm life on Earth
See, you all had a chance to assist him in his God-ordained mission to save us all from freedom hating mesquite, and you chose instead to make fun.

Too late will you realize your fate, when our brambly overlords gain their rightful place and mulch us all.

OP by jgraz:

      Lieberman leaving humanity
Joe Lieberman Leaves Human Race, Forms Independent Species

Facing increasing opposition from within his own species, Joe Lieberman announced yesterday that he was giving up his membership in Homo Sapiens Sapiens and forming his own primate subgroup.

The new species will be known as Homo Josephus Liebermanus, or "Homentum" for short.

While it is somewhat unusual for a sitting Senator to switch species, the move was not entirely unexpected. Lieberman had been signaling his intentions for some time by engaging in such patently inhuman behavior as quashing the Senate's Katrina investigation and threatening a filibuster in support of increased troop levels in Iraq.

Members of the small Congressional Human Caucus expressed regret that Lieberman chose his current action. "We had hoped that Senator Lieberman would find a way to remain human for the duration of his term," said Senator Russ Feingold, one of the caucus' few remaining members, "but in the end, Joe just found it too difficult to reconcile his personal goals with continued participation in the human race."

For his part, Lieberman remained steadfastly upbeat about the change. "This new biological designation represents a willingness on my part to remain independent from the constraints of accepted human behavior," said Lieberman in a prepared statement. "I look forward to working across the aisle with other primates such as bonobo chimps, gibbons and Trent Lott." Lieberman then formally launched his new species with a brief male dominance display and a ceremonial tossing of his own poop.

...Ok. Maybe not a sentence. But shit, we ain't gettin graded on this right?
