Proof of fraud: the turtle on the fence-post
At the Boston Fanueil Hall rally last night, the Vermont elector who spoke summarized the open-and-shut, prima facie evidence of FRAUD in the 2004 election, as follows:

If a turtle is sitting on a fence post, you know it didn't get there by itself.

If George Bush is sitting in the White House, you know he didn't get there by himself!

1. Sounds great. Will that "evidence" hold up in a court of law?

Or a sparrow may have carried it from Africa.

8. Very fitting! I've always loved that joke, esp. how it relates to Junior
If ever there was a 'Post Turtle'...

Bush the Post Turtle
A 70-year-old Texas Rancher got his hand caught in a gate while working cattle. He wrapped the hand in his bandana and drove his pickup to the doctor. While suturing the laceration, the doctor asked the old man about George W. Bush being in the White House.

The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a 'Post Turtle.'"

Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked what a Post Turtle was.

The old man looked at him and drawled, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a Post Turtle."

The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain:

"You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor dumb bastard get down."


ROFL!

9. Boston is very close to Salem, where they had witch trials
which were based, no doubt, on the same quality of "evidence".
