I think all the males in the U.S. should get together and have an Academy Award type event to honor old man Bush for being willing to service Barbara. I have only met her once, but once was enough. I owned a bookstore in Houston, Texas and to my surprise, she walked in one day with some woman looking for a rare book. When the woman introduced Bush, she stuck out her hand, I said, "No thanks." They left!

I've humped a few #3 and #4s in my time, but I'd need a case of Viagra to get an erection with Barbara Bush. She just might be the only woman to ever live who makes the late Eleanor Roosevelt look like a beauty queen. I'll bet that in her current condition, Eleanor looks better than Barbara.

The Obama Camp need not worry about McCain. Just put the old guy in front of a microphone, and out of his mouth will come a statement that'll cause people to pity him. That'll get some votes, but it is one hell of a weak strategy for the long haul.

"Make it a hundred years."
No thank you, old man.

"Muqtada al-Sadr declared the ceasefire in Basra."No, McCain, it was Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who brokered the ceasefire. Getting it right the first time is needed this time around. You really are very similar to George Exxon Bush in many ways.

"I support Bush on all major issues."
We know that you do not and never have supported Bush on all major issue, old man. The problem is you do not remember what you did and did not support. If you have a chance at all, sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity will have to carry you as they did George Exxon Bush.

"Rush Limbaugh is a clown."Not one of the smartest things a Republican politician could say, but then you've never won any Ben Franklin Awards. Did you think that Limbaugh and his loyal listeners would just roll over and kiss you old butt?

"I've never met Bill Cunningham."
Excuse me. You met Cunningham twice and there are witnesses and even a picture. Go back to Arizona old man and live it up on your wife's millions. You don't need this aggravation and we sure don't need you making decisions in the Oval Office like you did in Vietnam. Getting lost, then getting shot down, and then making propaganda tapes for the enemy is just not very presidential. I say this as a Vietnam veteran who was shot down twice and is a registered Republican.

"I'm computer illiterate."
Frankly, being almost seventy years old myself, McCain, and having set up four websites and three blogs, I would have preferred you lied about this one. It makes all of us in this age bracket look incredibly stupid to anyone under fifty.

BOSTON AP - An activist group hoping to pressure the Roman Catholic church into dropping its long-standing prohibition barring women from the priesthood says it ordained three women on Sunday.

"Catholics who attempt to confer a sacred order on a woman, and the women who attempt to receive a sacred order, are by their own actions separating themselves from the church," the archdiocese said.

Women, do you not know your place? Do you not know that claiming equality in this world of male gods and demigods is frightening, especially to the sociopaths all dressed up in hideous robes using rituals and morbid statues to recruit and control? What if you piss off this all-loving, all-knowing God who created earth in six days, and rested on the seventh? A quick check of world conditions will prove to you that Father knows best.

Admittedly, we males have not done anything but talk about the needless murders of over two million women and children in Africa; but after all, they're black and most were HIV carriers. It's only natural that millions are being slaughtered in the Middle East because this all-knowing God made a stupid mistake and gave them oil they didn't need but the U.S. and U.K. needs desperately if we're to maintain our current lifestyle. Hey, you can't blame us guys for this global warming. Had this stupid Christian God not rested on the seventh day and put in place an effective anti-pollution system instead of just some trees that he should have known we were going to cut down, there wouldn't be a problem with greenhouse gases. My best advice is for you females to do what you do best--get on those knees and earn your daily bread as the Big Kahuna intended you to do.
