I want to thank the Bush Administration and its war on Terror.
There have been no terrorist attacks in Northern Alabama since 9-11!
(even though there never has been)

There have been no Volcanos here!

There have been no attacks by Martians.

The Bubonic plague has not struck since the 17th Century.

I have not been eaten by a bear.


See how great things are?

1. I, too, want to thank the Bush misadministration.
My phone and net access has been well monitored and I'm not even a Quaker or a Vegan!

I feel so safe!

:rofl:

3. Yes, he's saved us from all of those things that, if they occurred, would
be all Clintons fault!! (especially if eaten by a bear)

Other things that Clinton could have done to us if not for the mighty *:

Fungus eating our fingers off
A meteor striking earth
Squirrels turning on us and attacking us from every angle
Two words: Killer rabbits

4. I understand Bush foiled Clinton's plan to increase squirrel size to
the size of Brahma Bulls!

Would have been hell in the attic.

5. If they take credit for no attacks, will they take credit when one happens
Thats incredible that they actually believe they are effective against terrorism, considering how long they wait between attacks. But I wanna know since theyre trumpeting the lack of attacks in the past few years , will they take blame when one happens? Riight, sure they will.

911 happened and it was on their watch but you wouldnt know it by them -the way they blame Clinton who was out of office for a year .

7. Silly! Anything bad that happens is the fault of Clinton.
What are you, a Commie?

6. LOL! I just finished reading this... Man Diagnosed With The Plague
Then the first thread I read on DU says, "The Bubonic plague has not struck since the 17th Century."

I was going to blame the plague case on nature and to a lesser degree on the flea, just because I hate fleas.

Now I'm going to blame bush. :D

FYI: No reason for alarm. The plague still exist in the wild, but it's easily controlled with antibiotics.

8. I researched Yersinia Pestis for a short story years ago....
What happens is the bacteria clogs up the the flea and he can't swallow the blood of his host, so regurgitates it back into the host with the gift of plague.

Nasty shit!

13. That's insult to injury
As if it barfing into your bloodstream isn't bad enough, it also gives you the plague.

Indeed, nasty shit!

11. Yes, that would be quite a hassle. Pity that a lot of people aren't
thankful for * not making them have to worry about all that extra money lying around...

12. Yes, and it's yet another reason that...
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 12:20 AM by dchill
giving tax cuts to the wealthy was the right thing to do. They are so much more experienced at dealing with money. Besides, as good Christians (I'm sure they are), they deserve it.


edit to add: Welcome to DU, CAG!
