Face of Mount Rushmore Moving Slightly
RAPID CITY, S.D. - Technology that provides precise data about cracks on the face of Mount Rushmore confirm the rock is moving, but only with changes in temperatures and only slightly.

The GOP is said to be delighted that room is being made for St. Reagan and Dubyah.

1. My guess is that the four presidents up there
are scrunching their faces in disgust at GWB and what he's done to America...

5. God that's awful
If Reagan or Bush get put on that thing I swear I'll leave the country and never come back. I wouldn't want to be from a society so ignorant. Pull up stakes and do a Johnny Depp move if I have to, yuk, that image abhors me.

17. Don't run from the problem!
If GWB's face were put on Mount Rushmore, I would take it as a sign from some higher power that it was time for Americans to rise up and overthrow the Republican government.

20. Personally...
if Junior's face were put on Mount Rushmore I'd take it as a sign that someone needed to visit North Dakota with a truckload of fertiliser and a few drums full of diesel fuel...

19. Do not worry about that, Wetzelbill...
First and formost, there is no room for Bush or Reagan.
And second, the mountain cannot handle anymore blasting or carving. They were lucky to get the four faces up there when they did. Any more major work, and all four will come tumbling down. South Dakota had someone, a geologist (I think), examine the monument, and determined that Mount Rushmore cannot handle any more work.

That made the Reaganites rather mad, if I recall.

15. Again ...
Please join in the cat fights at GD.

Most of us come to the lounge to avoid the politcal tearing down of the candidates and their supporters.

18. No offense
but you're not being forced to click on this thread.

I just thought I'd point out some hypocrisy on the part of Clark supporters who were getting a big laugh out of another thread putting down other candidates.
