Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Sen. Clinton swore to her New York constituents that she won’t abandon them for a 2004 Presidential run. But why else would she participate in the DLC’s cattle show, unless she’s thinking of breaking that pledge? Remember the sweet talk her husband fed Granite Staters when he visited Dover in January 2001: that Hillary would be watching out for them in the U.S. Senate. Bet on Hillary conducting a “listening tour” through New Hampshire very soon. (snip)

In 1978, while Bill was Attorney General of Arkansas and campaigning for governor, novice trader Hillary turned a 10,000 percent profit on a $1,000 investment in cattle futures. Analysts note that Hillary’s accumulation of $100,000 is too unlikely (the odds of such success are a million to one) to have been attained forthrightly. (snip)

Having graduated from Yale Law School, Hillary had to know what she was doing was wrong. But she still danced around corporate regulations and safeguards so she could make a pile of cash in a hurry. If Hillary does innocently wander into a New Hampshire diner or living room soon, you may want to ask her: How can she criticize Bush for corporate wrongdoing with a record like her own?

Hitlery reigns over at the DLC
A vicious witch full of minacity
Non-candidate
Lying zealot
If elected we’ll be in deep kimchee!

Minatory Witch
Cloven hoofed spawn of evil
Deception’s Princess

Hillary in 2004? Malone says 'non-candidate' Hillary isn't fooling anyone

Every day we shove and push
To be the first on the short bus
Xsmommy, hobbes and dubs
Wetbars, closets and beer tubs
If you really think you’re strong
Maybe you can ride along
I don’t want to cause no fuss
But here it is – the new Short Bus!

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS

Bet you things don’t get too far
Before camle’s got a new cigar
Argh is running for his life
From ending up with the ex-wife
Gabz is getting far from fat
Swimming round in the beer vat
There’se no rules, and there’s no muss
Ridin’ on this here Short Bus

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS


Singing:

WotsamoddaU hey,
Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,
Why you looka so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ah, Shaddap You Face.


Well, I don’t know why I came here today
I got the feeling that things ain’t goin my way.
I’m so scared in case I fall up the stairs
And that noise th only thing I can hear
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Yes, I’m stuck in thecloset with you,
And I’m wondering what it is I should do.
It’s so hard to setup Argh with my ex,
like some people only are about sex.
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomach’s turnin’ man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Swim in the beer vat and say, “Please, please.”

Trying to make martini’s for all,
But I can see nobody’s drinkin at all.
Is it cool to go to chomp on a big cigar?.
Poor Gus is out polishing the car
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomach’s turnin’ man.

Yes I’m, stuck in the closet with you,
Stuck in the closet with you,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Where are the pet and the tiger hiding this morning?

"Yes I’m, stuck in the closet with you,
Stuck in the closet with you,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Uh-oh!

[camle]

these lunatics didn't seem to find this minatory behavior. one questions their sanity...at least their intelligence.

[RikaStrom]

Good morning you three, were you lurking inside the doorways?

[camle]

just previewing some film I took friday.

[Slip18]

I know I had my nose squished upon the door by Vast trying to beat me. Camle was just humming his way in.

[xsmommy]

phone call, coupled with the fact that the clock is off on the computer (again). you won fair and square along with slippy and camle, vast.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hi.

Boy, what a racket. Arghie posts a picture, flirts with a coquette (or two or three ...) and gets "allllll" the attention allllll weekend from the girls. Gee.

Oh well, I'll do my homework anyway. Maybe the teach will like me, even if nobody else does. (Sulks in corners, arms crossed.)

Homework:

After I saw all the ads for that new crop circle movie, I realized that when the king threw the ancient Greek warrier in the maize many years ago, the hero minotaurly felt threatened by certain death by the monster.

[Slip18]

My computer timer was fixed by Feeblebot. I still think it's running seven minutes ahead.

[NeoCaveman]

top 10?

[Slip18]

Oh, Cook, we know you're gorgeous, too! You have to be gorgeous if you're a Croq!

I have those minotaurly weird circles in my backyard, also. But those were not formed by aliens. The circles were formed by putting a little plastic pool down for the dogs. We've got circles everywhere!
