In the Chinese film, "Red Sorghum"
amazon.com
an evil warlord was captured by his enemies. In the most graphic depiction I've ever seen on the big screen (far surpassing the timid little violence fetish that Mel Gibson just got rich on by catering to the weak-minded in our population) the victorious peasants who had been oppressed, raped, ripped off and ruined by the warlord got their revenge.
Starting at a point between the warlord's eyebrows, they began to meticulously skin him alive, exposing first his forehead, then his entire skull, then the trembling musculature of his cheeks, his neck and on down.
George Bush must realize that those who live by the sword must die by the sword.
Sweet dreams.

By The Way, I'm starting a new campaign for the summer. My goal is to make sure that everyone is laughing a George Bush whenever friends meet and simply mention a number. This is an old prison technique, where the inmates knew all the jokes by the number.
So here's tonight's installment of "BUSH BY THE NUMBERS"
# 1385:
"Anytime a liberal points out that the wealthy are disproportionately benefiting from Bush's tax policies, Republicans shout, "class warfare!"
In her book, "A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century", Barbara Tuchman writes about a peasant revolt in 1358 that began in the village of St. Leu and spread throughout the Oise Valley. At one estate, the serfs sacked the manor house, killed the knight, and roasted him on a spit in front of his wife and kids. Then after ten or twelve peasants violate the lady, with children still watching, they forced her to eat the roasted flesh of her husband and then killed her.
That is class warfare.
Arguing over the optimum marginal tax rate for the top one percent is not."

And if you have a joke to submit, I'm all ears, eyes and IOUs. You can be attributed if you'd like, or maybe you can be anonymous if you've got a really joke to share.

Remember kiddies, the most powerful weapon against a fascist fool like George Bush is ridicule. Prick that bubble-boy. |
