Nothing Personal... (Reply to this comment)
by jeffs320
I have a question of my own - how many people who are bashing President Bush have ever set foot in Iraq or Afghanistan? That is the one question that offended me was what are his daughters doing for their country - does it matter? They have the choice to serve or not, just like I did, and if they choose not to then that is up to them.

And just as a disclaimer here, I spent a year in Afghanistan and am now in Iraq, so I have a little bit of an idea what I am talking about. Just because some of us do volunteer to serve our country does not mean that we will hold it against anyone who doesn't - no one asked me to volunteer to join the Army, that is the whole point of a volunteer Army.

About question 18 : Who cares about the date ? Just imagine : He killed some while DUI heading to Fahrenheit 9/11 while his date has menstrual effluvia. Ouch ! And they're going to re-elect this guy. Ouch ! and nice job again.

The B-I-B-L-E... (Reply to this comment)
by Stairway2Drew
See, the Bible is the PERFECT tool to use to denigrate Bush, simply for the fact that he IS (or, rather, claims to be) a God-fearing man. It strikes a blow for that select group of Christians that DOESN'T want to be lumped in with him.

Oh, no. Spooning Noam Chomsky at a Wiccan potluck is a much better photo op. It would really appeal to his core voters, don't you think?

I think W would answer each and every one of these questions. And happily. Unfortunately, his answer would be "strong leader! strong leader!" Every time. I guess that would give a clue to his test scores, though.

Lobstergirl! How are you, sista friend? Alas, he will never answer any of our questions, and people continue to believe his lies. It's terrifying. Thank you for writing this. It's brilliant.

I'd suck Barack Obama's long, graceful finger at a Wiccan potluck.

Good job on these, LG. They're a lot more relevant than anything he's been asked so far.

So glad I found this since I no longer get notifications. All of your reviews are great, but this one is a humdinger. I loved every
sardonic word of it - and I wish I had thought of asking him those questions.

I do not denigrate this man, just as surely as there will be eggs in New York tomorrow morning.


What is this? Some kind of subliminal plug for stem-cell research?

You are sick, lady. And I can tell by your picture that you are just a dried up old hag without any eggs of your own and that's why you are obsessed with this egg research stuff.

Remember the words of Jeremiah (17:11) -- he had some wise words about eggs too, you know:

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

And I agree with McCritic. You are rude and we should all just get along.

trying to imply that our president might have made a mistake since the election was stolen for him? Didn't you hear the Annointed One repeat "Wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" 3 times as if it were a lunatic's ravings? Or the pale version of Darth Vader urge the pious to go to factcheck.com?

Is there oil on the isle of Hispaniola? He might be able to find Venezuela on an unmarked map, but I'm not sure he'd know which hemisphere to look for Hispaniola in. (You're betting his answer would be "Spain and Italy", right?)

Hidden is "mcritic200." He has laid silent farts on several of my recent postings; only the lord Jim and his chariots of virgins can surmise the motivations for his behavior, praise Allah.

That aside, let's all do a backflip and cartwheel: Lobstergirl lives. My works and days have been duller for your absence, and as always after your absences, I invite you over for a mint julip:

As for the date, I'd go for spooning Sontag at the zoo. I have no idea what an Algerian kiss is. Sounds "exotic".

I'd just like to say that none of these questions remain relevant in light of my dazzling proclamation that John Kerry is a Flip-Flopper!

Heh heh. Checkmate!

I really don't appreciate your misuse of the bible to denigrate a godfearing man like our President. Maybe if we all took religion a little more seriously the world would not have all these big problems.

Allah Akhbar!


Lady,
"Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
For them is a known sustenance,
Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,
In gardens of pleasure,
On thrones, facing each other.
A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,
White, delicious to those who drink.
There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.
And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;
As if they were eggs carefully protected."


I do not denigrate this man, just as surely as there will be eggs in New York tomorrow morning.

There's been a person lately just hiding around the new reviews section who has been rating a "non-helpful" to anything that may portray Mr. Bush in any sort of negative light. He struck my Control Room review just last week. Odd, how quickly he strikes... some sort of conspiracy mayhap?

Anyway, brilliant and entertaining work here.

I have missed thee. Why shroudest thee thy face?

For "they turn the needy out of the way:
the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
Behold, as wild asses in the desert,
go they forth to their work;
rising betimes for a prey...."
