I know I emailed this to a bunch of people but it is hilarious!

Red Vs. Blue

The "War" President...

Some peoples hypocrisy knows no bounds. The fact that George feels he can score points with veterans by bashing Kerry's military record (3 purple hearts, 1 silver star) while he 'served' in the national guard on weekends drives me up the wall. I'll say this about the republicans, they have brass balls. For George to bring up military service as a reason why he's better than Kerry would have been like Clinton saying that Bob Dole once cheated on his wife. I mean this guy didn't even freakin know where Vietnam was on a map until Colin Powell told him and he's bashing Kerry? Oh but he's a war president, we saw all how calm and responsive he was after he was told "the country is under attack" (if you haven't seen F9/11 please do so) Anyway enough ranting.

A Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican

by Donna L. Lavins and Sheldon Cotler

Joe gets up at 6:00 AM to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot with good, clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan. Because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast -- bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

Joe takes his morning shower, reaching for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount that is contains because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and the breakdown of its contents. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree-hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer meets these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed he'll get worker's compensation or an unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should loose his home to temporary misfortune.

It's noon time. Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification (those rural Republican's would still be sitting in the dark).

Joe is happy to see his dad, who is now retired. Joe's dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad, Joe gets back in his car for the ride home. He turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees, "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives. After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

In the years to come, Joe's life will change dramatically. The U.S. dollar will be devalued as a result of our huge deficit, our living standards demolished, our standing with the world diminished and our social security gone...all because some conservative republican made sure he could take care of himself and his buddies.

Aghast, i remain..

Letter to the editor...

A friend of DPo wrote this and I whole heartedly agree. My other favorite commercial is the one where the older woman is dating the college guy and her friends are making fun of her. At the end of the commercial it says "treat yourself"! Flip that around, have a 40 year old guy dating a 19 year old girl and a voice saying 'treat yourself', you'd have armies of women protesting and burning down the offices of Maxim and the makers of viagra. Anyway way to go James.

-before I get any comments (yes you can leave comments, I check this site quite frequently and am saddened to see that no one comments are my witty remarks:) ) about being a male chauvinist a-hole, I point out these double standards because if they continue things will swing the other way yet again and women will be portrayed as ...well as men are today.


Why isn't the woman looking for a toy?

I am appalled at the growing number of television commercials that portray men as stupid, bumbling, childish idiots. The latest is a McDonald's commercial that has a man frantically searching through his food for a few moments before the woman with him says, with extreme condescension, "it doesn't come with a toy." The woman, then, is smart and witty, while the man is nothing more than a foolish, overgrown child.

This is not, by far, the first ad that represents men in a negative and stereotypical light, and as a teacher, I am concerned about the male roles that the media projects to boys today, as well as society's apparent acceptance of these images. Are we saying that today's men are stupid and unable to think for themselves? Moreover, are we saying that sexism is perfectly acceptable, when it targets males rather than females?

If the stupid one in the commercial was the woman rather than the man, the ad would surely be pulled off the air instantly, amid angry accusations of sexism. This is an obvious double standard. For the sake of the next generation, we should be promoting and projecting equality, rather than representing either gender as being better or smarter than the other.

We're pretty lucky that people over here just drink beer and smoke dope....Although some of the cheaper beer may in fact contain bio-hazardous waste, I mean have you ever tried Lucky Strong?

"Now we can cook up twice as much smack!" 

For Free! Excess jars of mayonnaise from Operation Desert Storm!

One of the advantages to living in a neighborhood like ours is that there is a steady demand for used appliances. My parents bought a new stove for us (ours was old and crappy, but still working) and not feeling like hauling it into my already stuffed garage I happened upon an idea. "We'll just leave it on the front lawn with a sign that says 'free stove'."

Alert Status Orange....

What a waste of a long weekend! Didn't get much done and yet somehow it just flew by. I guess the lesson here is to fill your weekends with activites and then they will seem to take forever because you can't wiat till tuesday when you can slack off at work....of maybe that's just my situation. Caught the Amazing Race tonight, it was pretty good. They really need to open it up to more smack and trash talking, seeing the midget (little person?) get drunk on the plane and cuss out those stupid twins would be fun too. Check ya latter.
