GD, October 3, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1970145 OP by Bucky: Who would win in a fist fight between Aung San Suu Kyi and Benazir Bhutto?Yes, it's the epic clash of the south Asian political dissident titans!
On the right, there's
Benazir "the Basher" Bhutto...
Cool, detached, outgoing, even a hint of corruption as she muscles, hustles, and bustles her way back into power.
On the left, we have
Aung San "Bang-a-Gong" Suu Kyi...
Two hotties will enter the ring... but only one will walk out. Call it! Who will win? Sunday...
Sunday... Sunday!!response #5 by

Jeb Bush said Thursday.

Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge's death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking). While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge's two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister's rubber briefs..."

GD, October 10, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2016975 OP by NanceGreggs: Jesus Facing Multiple ChargesWithin days of his Second Coming, Jesus Christ (aka Prince of Peace, Savior, The Lord) is facing charges in a number of jurisdictions across the country.
After addressing a crowd in Washington D.C. with what is quickly becoming known as His now-infamous “Blessed are the Peacemakers” speech, Jesus was arrested for holding a political rally without a permit. A possible charge of treason is also pending, given that The Lord’s blatant anti-war statements may constitute a direct threat against the born-again president and his conduct of the war in Iraq.
Later that same day in Orlando, Florida, Jesus was handcuffed by local authorities after feeding a multitude of homeless people who had gathered to hear him speak about being Thy Brother’s Keeper. “We still don’t know how he pulled off the seven loaves and seven fishes thing, but the law is the law,” said the arresting officer, who refused to disclose his identity for fear of losing his immortal soul.
In a related incident, Jesus was again at odds with local authorities in Fresno, California, after attempting to prevent police from destroying makeshift shelters constructed by the homeless. After being read his Miranda rights, the Lord’s only comment was, “As you do to the least among you, so you do unto me.”
Within minutes of posting bail, Jesus reappeared at an Alabama state judicial building where he was promptly arrested for inciting to riot after making a statement about ‘rendering things unto Caesar, and things unto God’. “I knew the kid was a troublemaker the minute he started shooting his mouth off about the separation of church and state,” said a man later identified as one Roy Moore, who was outside the building protesting the removal of a granite monument displaying the Ten Commandments from the premises several years ago.
Jesus wound up his cross-country crime spree with an arrest at a mid-western mega-church, when he was unceremoniously ousted after disrupting a Sunday service by suggesting to the congregation that they do unto others as they would have others do unto them. “I was willing to let the whole thing go,” said the irate pastor, “but then he started emptying the poor box at the back of the church and handing the money out to the poor. When he started talking about he who is without sin casting the first stone, I had no choice but to call the police.” (The name of the pastor is being withheld due to pending litigation involving tax evasion, fraud, and an incident involving a male prostitute.)
While local jurisdictions in various states deal with the pending charges against Christ, Federal authorities are looking into possible ties to terrorist activity. Apparently several phone calls between Jesus and alleged distant relatives in the Middle East have been closely monitored, and further charges may be laid in connection with suspected links to terrorist organizations. “We’re pretty sure that His use of phrases like peace be with you, goodwill to all men is some kind of code," said one source, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter.
In addition, the Department of Homeland Security is looking into the fact that Jesus was able to transport himself from one place to another without setting off red flags at any airports, despite having been placed on the no-fly list. DHS Chief Michael Chertoff has vowed to investigate the matter fully.
Given the MSM coverage of the now ill-fated Second Coming, Christ’s lawyers are already concerned about His ability to get a fair trial.
“Rush Limbaugh called him a ‘phony Savior’ on his radio show last week,” said a public defender assigned to one of the Christ cases, “and Catholic League president Bill Donahue has already publicly denied him three times. How is the Son of God supposed to get a fair shake?”
In the midst of the controversy, White House spokesperson Dana Perrino fielded a barrage of questions on the topic during a recent press conference. She firmly stated that the president, in keeping with his long-held policy in such matters, refuses to comment on an ongoing investigation.
Although unconfirmed, several reliable sources have indicated that Jesus wept.

ALL THAT. Oh, and he's also ruminating about how to "reinvent himself," cause he doesn't want to be just a "Bush Guy" anymore. But he understands that some people out there "hate him." So I guess he's trying to figure out how to make that work for him.
Then there's Dan Barlett. Now he's bought himself a brand new iPod to take the place of his old, White House Blackberry. But he doesn't get any calls, text messages or emails from anyone anymore. So he bugs his wife all day asking her to send him an email or have sex or something.
And Sara Taylor's in a special desensitizing 12-Step program in a futile attempt to get her soul back from the devil. She says she's got her "groove back" though, so I guess she's cruising bars now.

Mustard for dipping, any style
Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives

housekeeper was "Fabreezing" the back bedroom. French houseguests had apparently
overstayed their welcome and spewed pomme frites and ketchup all over the bed while watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
So, anyway, we both had time to kill and we were talking about the election and he mentioned that if Dennis Kucinich wins he plans on sending a plague of locusts to attack Missouri.
Why Missouri?
"It's still a bellwether state isn't it," God mused, an almost rhetorical question, as he flipped the ashes from his joint out the window of my 87 Camry. "I've always
enjoyed fucking with bellwether states - they have this ungodly sense of self import."
Does God have something against Dennis Kucinich?
"Well, I usually like Vegans who marry up. But there's something about him that irritates me. He whines a lot and he kind of reminds me of Alan Keyes. If there's a presidential race, well... THERE he is."
God passed me the joint.
"Did you like my little Alan Keyes karmic moment?"
"You mean when you made his daughter a lesbian?"
God chuckles to Himself and stares out the window. "I crack myself up sometimes."
We sit in silence. God says, softly, "This whole '08 thing has your country in a frenzy. When are they ever going to learn?"
I looked at Him. "Who's going to win?"
He smiled. "This time.... the one who is supposed to."
"What, you trying to redeem yourself for George Bush?"
God outright laughs. "Everything goes in cycles, my son. Even the United States."
He glances at his watch. "Rosita should be done by now."
"Would you like me to drop you off?"
"No, I can walk it. Need the exercise."
God starts to climb out of the car.
I watch him, a little anxiously. "This election will turn out ok, won't it? I mean, I'm not going to have to move to Canada or anything?"
God leans back in the car. "Put it this way. I don't plan on having to really use those locusts."
As he grinned at me, I noticed something I'd never seen before. A little American flag pin on his robe, turned upside down.
"Goodnight," He said. And disappeared down 86th.
