Here’s something you might enjoy:

This is, of course, what a liberated Iraqi shouted to the American troops as they rumbled past. This was what America meant to him. You may say it’s a crude reduction of a shallow culture.

I say we put it on the twenty dollar bill.

(Here’s a small one for your website, if you so desire.)

Well *I* saved on for future use. :)

[CholeraJoe]

I LIKE it.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, personally, I could do without Democracy - a Constitutional Republic would be better ;0) Plus, since I no longer partake in Firewater (unless I have guns around, then I love to whoop it up Woo-hoo!) I guess the whiskey is out... I guess that just leaves me with the Sexy part... ;0)

[SarahW]

Constitutional republic

-Yeah, but its harder to say, not to mention fit on a twenty dollar bill . :) You will have to start drinking again though, or your country music recordings won't sell.

[SarahW]

But if you have to have just one part, the SEXY part is probably the best....!!!

How 'bout :

Democracy
Sexy
Smokes

Let's have some freedom at home.

[ricpic]

Sexy
Democracy
Smokes

That's better.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hmmm.... Let's see... I've never thought of drunk people as 'sexy', so I think it's an either/or type of situation... What a conundrum... Hmmm...

[SarahW]

A little bit of whiskey adds to a manly mans charms.

REAL Americans never get drunk. :)

[SarahW]

But that Iraqui guy was obviously yearning to breathe free!

And to have some whiskey!

Democracy Whiskey Sexy

Wherever American Freedom has flourished, the first things to be established are saloons and whorehouses. The Churches and white picket fences all come later....

bump

[najida]

I like it! My three favorite things....in differing amounts ;).

[Camerican]

Hmmm... Phoenetic code perhaps:

Democracy - Down
Whiskey - with
Sexy - Saddam

[SarahW]

That's interesting....works for me...
