Yes i know there are some factual errors in this and a little slight of hand, but this is the humor thread, so...

sent in an email (of course)

I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head so I'll know how to vote come November. Right now, we have one guy saying one thing. Then the other guy says something else. Who to believe. Lemme see; have I got this straight?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good...

Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad...

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good..

Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad...

Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good...

Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists- good...

Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad...
Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good...

Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad...

Clinton commits felonies while in office - good...

Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad...

No mass graves found in Serbia - good...

No WMD found Iraq - bad...

Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good...

Economy on upswing under Bush - bad...

Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good...

World Trade Centers fall under Bush - bad...

Clinton says Saddam has nukes - good...

Bush says Saddam has nukes - bad...

Clinton calls for regime change in Iraq - good...

Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad...

Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good...

Bush destroys training camps in Afghanistan - bad...

Milosevic not yet convicted - good...

Saddam turned over for trial - bad...

Ahh, it's so confusing!

Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day." This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government. This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991.

Unfortunately, it's April 11th, 2184...

Wasn't humorous at all, I think, no matter how right or wrong... could be seen as ironic but it's really just partisan stuff. We really should keep the humor thread humorous...

I've been trying to bait out some neo-cons on a local BBS.. with the simple question 'hey, what's so good about George W... can you site somethings.. any good points?" well.. all I have gotten from 'them' is the sound of crickets chirping.. so I poked around on the web.. and found quite a few very very informative sites.. but THIS one is just plain funny.

http://w4prez.com/index.html#good

take it out for a spin if you need a good laugh.. and I think we all do right about now

These guys have a go at what might happen with the e-voting machines in Florida.

Caveat: The site loads kinda slow. But be patient, it's worth it, sez I.
