Man: So how long will it take? Duke: Not long. You should have the actual card in a few weeks... in the meantime, you can enterprise some projects - lecture tours, autographed memorabilia, your memoirs, etc. You need an agent. And I know just the guy! Sid: A mass-murderer. And you thought of me. Duke: Okay, I'll owe you one. Happy?

Hey Dudes and Dudettes! .Thereās hope! Sidās face didnāt fall. .Trffās a mass murderer? Meh. Of his own people? Meh..Just mention $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ā {indirectly outta yer great great great great great great grandkidsā pockets via added debt, thank you very much Mr. Ronald Reagan Sir, who tripled the national debt and set in motion the GOPinoid orgasmic BORROW ānā spend spree that lasts [and threatens to keep on lasting (via GOPinoid Rick Perry, next U.S. President) till the Lord comes]} ā and and that unfallen faceāll light up like a thermonuclear lightbulb. .Canāt happen? Not three Bushinoids from Texas in so short a time?.Heh heh heh. Wait! I got something stuck in my throat. Thatās better. Itās out..Heh heh heh heh heh heh. Gasp. Heh heh heh.

Prediction: Mr. President Rick Perry Sirās nickname, among disaffected i-net users, will be Bush III. This moniker will last long after his eight, count āem, eight years in office with more outsourcing of jobs, and into the history books till the 3rd and 4th generation.

Itās after 2:00 AM on the Pacific coast, and I awoke because of my GBS (look it up). Thought Iād check Doonesbury. I was expecting to see a negative reply or two against my Rick for Pres prediction. No fish on the hooks. But, since I had my answer prepared in advance, Iāll give it to you anyway:.Heās gonna win because the American people havenāt suffered enough yet. Oh, they will, they will. But not yet enough, to be fully awake, not Pearl-Harbor awake in any case. So, "As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a [Republicans and other voters] returneth to [their] folly (Prov. 26:11) ā a THIRD folly from Texas. Pres. Rick Perry by name, Bush III, who will try to stuff more Fed. $$$$$$$$ (read: hot-air money) into his buddiesā mouths in order to stimulate them to e-ship more of YOUR jobs away to India and China. Sorry, but thatās the way I see it. Back to bed. ādtĻ

There are exceptions to dogma when money crosses the table.

some stood up, applauding, and some sat down arms folded when Zazan got his Oscar.

maybe Sid can get him a gig recording voice-mail announcements.

Remember, all, that Jesus worked hard all his ministry long to save the Publicans and Sinners. And, praise be, he did manage to save the Sinners.

I must have missed a series or two. When did Sid develop scruples?

As long as we identify corruption and greed with one and not the other of the two main parties, we will continue to flounder.

With Tim Pawlenty out of the presidential race, it is now fairly clear that the GOP candidate will either be Mitt Romney or someone who makes George W. Bush look like Tom Paine. Of the three most plausible candidates for the Republican nomination, two are deeply associated with a theocratic strain of Christian fundamentalism known as Dominionism. If you want to understand Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, understanding Dominionism isnāt optional.
Put simply, Dominionism means that Christians have a God-given right to rule all earthly institutions.

NOW heās wearing a tie! I think heād be getting that green card sooner if heād worn it earlier.

They are all hoping to get the VP job when Romney gets the nomination. Relatives in TX have had nothing good to say about Perry over the last decade.
Pawyilee over 13 years ago
The proper response is, āThey started businesses, got rich and got even.ā

Just remember if you can sell a product with āShock and aweā as a motto, PR can make any press,āgood pressā. Ethics was ventilated out of the box a long time ago.

Can you imagine hearing Michelle Backmanās voice giving the state of the Union Speech? Yow!

Can you imagine President Bachmann trying to read a teleprompter? āUh, Madam President, itās over thereā¦ā*Photos of Bachmann eating a corndog show how well suited she will be to being called Madam.

Mr. and Mrs. Bachmann:

Candidate Rick Perry is going to eat candidate Michele Bachmannās corn dog.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
Of interest:ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I see a fundamental inconsistency between Perryās concerted opposition to government social programs and his promotion of himself as a Christian politicianā¦. Ā¶ Christ teaches us to feed the hungry and care for the sick, not to abandon them. Perhaps Gov. Perry hasnāt read that part of the Bible where Christ admonishes us to care for āthe least among us.āĀ ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Source: Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, āIs Rick Perry as Christian as He Thinks He Is?ā. .

Anybody ever listen to āMarketplaceā on NPR? Just heard on āMarketplaceā news that there are āoceansā of cash overbrimming national and multinational banks and other multinational corporations. Not to mention the accounts of superwealthy one percenters. Upshot:.While all the candidates (including Obama) and wannabes are yapping, ājobs jobs jobsā, āMarketplaceā reports that all that cash, if going anywhere (and much of itās going nowhere), is going into āmergers and acquisitionsā and NOT, REPEAT NOT, going into hiring or jobs creation or anything close..So what is all this ājobs jobs jobsā jabber meant to accomplish? I would guess: āvotes votes votesā..And thatās the beginning, the middle, and the end of the story. At least for years and years and years to come.

I had forgotten how vast Dukeās network is. Heās tight with all the lowlifes.
If Pibgorn donāt work for ya, try Redcloth.
DylanThomas3.14159 over 13 years ago
According to this:.http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/08/rick-perry-manly-man/243621/.Mr. Pres. Candidate Rick Perry Sir, must be an arrogant bass turd or at least brass turd. Then, again, it was written by a woman. And by now the DEMobās robot has to be on the attack, planting such stories. So, go ahead and think Iām gullible, if you want, just not too terribly.

On the 11th i said this:āAny bets his new employer wonāt be Sid Kibbitz?āTechnically I wouldnāt have lost that bet (agent <> employer), but I didnāt think even Duke would walk that tightrope.Would Trff consider managing a McFriendlyās?
