Her name is Sharia and she dances on the sand,

Just like that hate movement born in a dusty land,

And when she wears her burqua, she shows as little as she can,

Oh, Sharia, Sharia, trying to dance across the Rio Grande

*bows* Thank you, thank you!

Try the veal?

"If you're wondering what I'm doing here at a prayer breakfast, well, so am I. I'm certainly not here as a man of the cloth, unless that cloth is leather. I'm certainly not here because I'm a rock star. Which leaves only one possible explanation: I've got a messianic complex," he quipped.

At least he's honest about it.

I guess the other thing I like about him is he respectfully acknowledges the President's support and America's contributions to his pet causes (I still think they're a colossal waste of money), instead of just screaming for more, more, more and bashing Bush and the USA on every occasion.

Kid Creole and the Coconuts?

[lesser_satan]

Awesome. You got any alternative lyrics for Hungry Like the Wolf or View to a Kill?

[Gordongekko909]

I'll throw something together for Hungry. Gimme a sec...

[quack]

Well,it was "Money for Nothing" he was quoting.

[Gordongekko909]

Marines in the city, they own the night / Ahmadinejad runs for his life / Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do / 16s locked and loaded, just give me the sign / Tehran has fallen and the Persians feel fine / Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do

Crouched on the ground / I’m on the hunt I’m after you / Artillery pounds, he hides in the ground / And I’m hungry like the wolf / His regime's outta time, he hides in the grime / I’m on the hunt I’m after you / He's still alive, but lives like a swine / And I’m hungry like the wolf

Stalked through the mountains, too close to hide / I’ll be upon you by the next high tide / Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do / His blood pumps as he continues the flight / You feel my eyes, I’m just a moment behind / Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do /

Crouced on the ground / I’m on the hunt I’m after you / Scent and a sound, you're lost and you're found / And I’m hungry like the wolf / I stop on a dime, it’s discord and rhyme / I howl and you whine I’m after you / You're still alive, but almost outta time / And I’m hungry like the wolf

Hugging the ground, I fire a round / I’m on the hunt I’m after you / His body flops down, the new king is crowned / And I’m hungry like the wolf / Advancing the line, it’s recovery time / I was on the hunt and after you / No longer alive, blood flows like wine / And I’m hungry like the wolf /

Turning the ground, the body's laid down / Have fun in hell, dictator scum / Mahmoud is down, deep in the ground / And I’m hungry like the wolf /

We march in a line, it’s celebration time / Now Persian girls are after me! / But I've got my Caroline back stateside / And I’m hungry like the wolf...

Not bad for rapid composition, I think...

Bono asks Bush to put a gun to the heads of US taxpayers for billions to help poor

"Progressives" have very different ideas on charity. And they have no problem using the power of the state to see those ideas implemented.

[Gordongekko909]

Which is really funny, considering what "Money for Nothing" is about. See 36.

[lesser_satan]

Very good!

[MplsSteve]

Wow!

I think Doug From Upland has a little competition in here now!

[Gordongekko909]

Heh. My musical skills are somewhere in between "non-existent" and "suck." Thanks, guys.

I think Bonzo should ask all of his leftist entertainment buddies to cough up the requisite moola to help the poor. I would guess that the sum total of their pelf approaches what Bonzo wants the U.S. to give. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to accede to His Majesty, and Uncrowned Emperor of the World, King Bonzo's desires.

Headline: Bono asks Bush for billions to help poor

Shouldn't it read "Bono asks GATES for billions to help poor"?

After all, Gates (co-person of the year as per Slime Magazine) has the billions to give away.

And while I'm about correcting the news as I see it...... I also believe the headlines should read "Bono asks Bush for billions to FUND LIBERAL ACTIVIST'S PET PROJECTS".

Bono asks Bush for billions to help poor

It should read:

Bono and his Left-Liberal Dim friends give billions to Bush to help poor.

[Dog Gone]

I can't believe that no one here would be willing to give a couple dollars of their tax money to help the world's poorest people.

Good, because you'd be incorrect.

Welcome to FR.

How long you stay is up to you.

Not a good start, I might add.

Democrats can post here without getting banned.

People who aren't conservative and attempt to use this forum to promote their views get banned.

Stick to talking about Bono and his charitable efforts and you're fine, although there is a tendency to ban people who come back after being banned once.
