All great jokes start with Bush Quotes:

It’s just hard to resist reading Bush transcripts. He would have made a better comedian than a dictator.

• During his usual drivel of limiting frivolous lawsuits - “We’ve got an issue in America. Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country.”
• “Let me put it to you bluntly. In a changing world, we want more people to have control over your own life.” - Northern Virginia Community College Aug. 9, 2004
• “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” -“Aug. 5, 2004 (watch the video)

In Video - In George W. Bush’s Words: Bush’s words speak louder than actions. A nice video clip from The Daily Show. I Hope to see this being the next Bush ad on TV.

I’m going to start something new called Friday Funnies. Every Friday I’ll post an entry generally geared towards humor. However, your laughter is not guaranteed.

A welcome sign across the street from the Ice Palace, greets visitors coming to watch hockey.

Here I am casually browsing the intrawebnetdotcom. When I went to type a web address into the address bar in Firefox, by accident I typed just a W and hit enter and well, a virgin eye surprise is in store! Try it and be disgusted and frightened!

A classic portrait of John Ashcroft made out of tiny pornographic images. I’m very amused, under god.

I suppose it was bound to happen if she was forced to date the ambiguously gay Ken all of her plastic life. If she was already attracted to the effeminate man, I imagine it would only be natural for her to become attracted to a female. Maybe Barbie isn’t even a female to begin with. What if she was previously a man, after all she was modeled to have “the perfect body”, considering her measurements, and I think that could only be obtained by plastic surgery. Hmm.

Well, whatever way you look at it, Natalie Young thinks Barbie’s a lesbian and wore a T-shirt to school stating so. Which then lead to being sent to the principal’s office where they insisted that she must change her shirt. She refused and they suspended her and told her if she were to wear it again she would face further suspension.

Her mother was outraged and sued the school in order to for students to have a right to express themselves.

She won.

New York City schools adopted a new policy as a result and students now have the right to wear political or other types of buttons, badges or armbands.

Such a shame this didn’t work out the same way for Katie Sierra.

Marriage, defined by our country, is the union between a man and a woman. However, in San Francisco, Mayor Gavin Newsom changed city policy. Newsom said gays and lesbians have the right to wed under the state’s equal protection clause even though voters in 2000 approved a ballot initiative that restricted marriage to heterosexual couples.

Among the first couples to get married were Del, 83, and Phyllis, 79. Both long-standing activists, leaders, and icons of the lesbian movement. These two women have been together for 51 years! That’s half a century, five decades! Imagine, being together for 51 years, all the things they have witnessed, everything they fought for, to finally be able to be married. I couldn’t think of a couple more deserving of the first marriage taken place there.

Although, no state allows gay marriages, and this is considered an act of disobedience, it’s aimed to challenge the law on gay marriage. Putting aside the legalities of the issue, the day was still astoundingly symbolic, especially the story of Del and Phyllis which is just too beautiful to be forgotten. Not to mention the scores of other couples, who have equally shared their lives with someone for an amazing amount of time, who are celebrating this monumental day.

Almost 100 marriage licenses were given out and almost every couple exchanged their vows on the spot. Sadly, today, opponents are fighting it out in court. They’re seeking the obvious, to invalidate every license and resume laws of oppression.

Even Webster has a better definition of marriage than our government:
1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage

Lately I’ve been hearing about this “liar, liar pants on fire, bush wagon” that has been seen driving around town. From what I heard, it’s this station wagon towing a statue of George W. Bush with his pants on fire. I keep hoping to spot it but haven’t thus far. I decided to see if google had anything about it and of course, I found the page all about it, PantsonFire.net.

True Majority is the group running this campaign. The main purpose, obviously, is to bring attention to all of George W. Bush’s lies and remind everyone not to forget them, as it’s so easy to do when the media is quick to whitewash the truth.

The Pants on Fire-mobile will be in Tampa until February 14th, and then it will be travelling up north with its next stop in Gainesville. You can find the itinerary here, so maybe it’ll be driving through your town.

The project works on a volunteer basis, so you can even give Bushy a ride on the town yourself. I wish I knew someone that would actually like to do this, I’d love to sit shotgun taping the whole thing.

Mission to Mars making you hungry? The suspense of finding evidence of water and possible life on mars making you crave seafood? Me too! Well, not really. However, Long John Silvers promises to feed all of America free giant shrimp if NASA finds evidence of an ocean on Mars by February 29, 2004..

Yesterday they announced that the Opportunity rover may have found gray hematite, a mineral that typically forms in water. Follow rover developments here.
