Re: Making a few happy

Bill:

Spent thirty years with Ma Bell. The magic words are, "Let me speak to your supervisor!"

If you do not get a satisfactory response from the supervisor the magic words then are, "Let me speak to you manager."

Why are we there?

Posted By Darrell Fichtl
Why are we there?

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have loopy leadership. Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail them out of. Why are we still there?

There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand. Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans. Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford. Why are we still there?

It is becoming clear..











WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA IMMEDIATELY

Father Omalley

Posted By Darrell Fichtl
Father O'Malley rose from his bed. It was a fine spring day in his new Washington, DC parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn.

He promptly called the US Senate for assistance.

The conversation went like this "Good morning. This is Senator Teddy Kennedy. How may I help you?"

"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Brigid's. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn. Would ye be so kind as to send a couple o' yer lads to take care of the matter?"

Senator Kennedy, considering himself to be quite a wit, replied with a smirk, "Well now father, it was always my impression that you people took care of last rites!"

There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.

Father O'Malley then replied "Aye, that's certainly true, but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin.

Senate passes reform bill!!

[SIZE="Large"]Senate passes reform bill!![/SIZE]

[SIZE="Small"]And it probably won't change one damn thing![/SIZE]

[SIZE="Large"]As usual lots of noise, bombastic rhetoric, with very little change that will effect any money grubbing!

Lunches and gifts gone, free travel still in. There's still golf at St Andrews and racing at Monaco! I mean what's a lunch or two, huh?

Another Crock!

Posted By Darrell Fichtl
You can't do that anymore. It makes the Army look bad. After all what's worse; The Army looking bad or you being dead?

Obviously the Army looking bad is much worse.

In Mexico, Bush Emphasizes Border Security

Posted By Darrell Fichtl
What a colossal joke.

Like Vicente Fox gives one tinkers damn about border security? HA! That's a good portion of the nations national income. Hell, send as many as possible over the border and let them send money home. As far as he's concerned it's a win-win situation.

Senate to address immigration bill Tuesday

Posted By Darrell Fichtl
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12041407/

I'm sure most of you remember the "Honeymooners" where Jackie Gleason was showing Art Carney about golf. He said, "First you have to address the ball."

Carney walked up and said, "Hello ball!"

Well that's just about the way that the senate is going to treat any effective immigration bill, "Hello Bill!"

Re: ...and the survey says.

Posted By Darrell Fichtl
I've been skeptical of any survey since I was a kid. I remember still Harry Truman holding up the newspaper headlines that said, [SIZE="Large"]"DEWEY WINS"[/SIZE]

The wording of the questions is the major problem. These can be rigged very easily. The bottom line is still, "Liars figure and figures lie!"
