    Heading into Gaza A slow line enters Gaza. The brigade commander has a factory. The regiment commander is an engineer. The company commander is a science teacher. The platoon commander is in the standing army. The company sergeant sells holy books. The sergeant is something of a carpenter. The squad commander is presently unemployed. The private is a retiree. But they’re all excellent soldiers Marching in a slow line, in the tranquil night. Entering enemy territory Without fear. To fight for their nation Like their parents did for them. The brigade commander has a back-ache. The regiment commander has high...

    With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the House (and the Senate) Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that a stimulus soon would be there. The voters were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of "hope" and "change" danced in their heads. The winners completed their victory lap, And we all settled down for our long winter's nap. For this year the markets had caused such a clatter-- Mortgages--credit crunch--what was the matter? With th'economy hitting new...

    WHAT IF BARACK WERE GONE? by Jesse McKay (Parody of "What If Your Girlfriend Were Gone," by Carla Ulrich, 1996) I was just wondering... hypothetically... What would you do?... theoretically... If something should happen... politically or medically... What if Barack were gone?

Would you want a new choice? Would you draft Al Sharpton to be your new voice? Would you call a Million...

    See for example this thread first. Homosexuals have had their say: A museum, with animals, gay "So gay sex is fine!" But I bet they would whine if we put gays in zoos, by the way.
