My answer: "Is Our President Learning?"

Excerpt: "After a long talk with Dickey C, he began to feel confident in the decision to run for president. "Hell", he thought. He took another sip of Jack Daniels. "Dick said it himself, I ain't even gonna have to think!" This was a statement that Cheney later regreted as Dubya took this quite literally, especially when talking to the press.
Dick had talked alot about Haliburton, but Dubya was tuning him out during those parts. He thought for a moment about Dick Cheney, his daddy had spoke highly of the guy, but none-the-less Dubya was terrified of him. And so he made his decision... or as he later put it: "Finallity has finally happened." He was running for president dammit! He was gonna Gitter Done for Texas. Sure, he had no clue what he was getting into, but Dick sure made it sound easy enough. "Does the president have to actually read memo's?" he wondered. Another sip of booze and Dubya was out cold.

How can a country wreak so much death on defenseless women and children when they themselves went through something similar. And America extends vague platitudes to the world's questions while encouraging the carnage. Shouldn't we be ashamed of our government?
Do we have to wipe an entire race off the map to solve a problem? This is sickening to me!

I am no authority or scholar on this subject, but I cannot help but notice that defining people as either republican or democrat actually affects the ways these people think and react to eachothers ideas. It seems to me the only real conservatives and liberals are the far left and far right. Those in between who share many ideals and beliefs and are open minded enough to talk and debate rationally, really should not be called rep or lib, because it causes seperation between them as soon as they do. Is there room for a party in between republicans and democrats, or should they just be called the better, nameless americans? I would like to think of myself as fitting into this group. I mean, I hear people like Sean Hannity on the radio talking about far lefts and far rights, yet he consistently insults all ranges of the left, which to me makes him a far right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Isn't this bipartisan?

VP Cheney doesn't seem to do too much especially when the President visits foreign lands then he seems to go underground like on Sept. 11. If he is needed to fill in for the President does he select a VP or does the speaker of the house take over in his job. Who is the speaker of the house presently?

So, it started when i found those nasty socks under my bed this morning. Boy did they stink, and i thought,"boy do they stink! this is a harbinger of events to come!"so, i put on my handy-dandy gas mask and stepped out of my room to face a potentially hazardous day. First thing i encountered was my dog, who farts a lot, and so i was like,"boy, the socks were right!" then to breakfast, and the cheese was all green and moldy in the fridge. Coincidence? i think not! then the doorbell rang.i stepped out onto my porch, and found myself face to face with the one and only George Bush, who reeked worse than the cheese.and he's like"you wanna fight?thanks to your stinky socks,my rich arab friends next door fled the country!"and i'm like,"GB,the pleasure is all mine"So,we fight,and of course he's good,but I'M better.i beat the kashizzles outta him,until he offers me all his shares in Exxon.then he asks me if he can borrow my ever-so-cool gas mask,and so i'm asking u guys:should i lend it to him?

Why does religion have to be a part of our governments?

I am from Canada and it seems as though religion is in every nations government. There is such a thing as morals but thats comman sense. Why do we have to base our morals on religious teachings? Why do we have these laws that only seem to pertain to the residance of our nations that live here hundreds of years ago. Now our society is so diverse that our religious beliefs in our laws dont benifit those of different religions. I think its bias and unfair.If we are one nation then lets have laws thats will be universal enough as to meet everybodys standards and not just a percentage of people. Can we truly become one nation as a hole and accomadate every religion?
