Frostbite Warning for Flashers!

Big News

Osama bin Laden, in his annual Christmas message, urged believers to confront continuous aggression against Iraq and stand up to U.S. leaders, branding them "enemies of God." Oh, Osama, you're so hairy 'cause yo mama had a fling with Bigfoot.
- Just shut up and go stuff your Christmas goat!

You know what I'd like to see? An "Amazing Dog Fight" between Osama bin Laden and U.S. Vice-Fruitcake Dick Cheney.
- Man, Cheney would shoot Osama's beard off so fast....
- It couldn't possibly be considered torture.

I'm sorry, Mr. Huckabee, the term "Christian Republican" is just a bit too incongruous. I mean, I don't think I've even ever heard the term "Bleeding-Heart Hawk."

President Bush signed a $555 billion bill Wednesday to fund the Iraq war and keep the government running well into 2008. Wow, $555 billion! Now that is a gift card.

Shallow Thoughts

Have you noticed? During the holidays your clothes seem to get really crowded.

Texas has gun control. You can buy a gun anytime anywhere, but you have to wait five days before you can shoot anybody.

Last night in the parking lot I was confronted by a mugger. I told him I was a blogger, he gave me 20 bucks and let me go
