Dumbya visited an elementary school in my state today
I had the news on at work this morning and saw a blurb about how Pretzeldent Boosh was to be visiting a school in Glen Burnie, MD to speak on the "success" of his No Child Left Behind program. Upon hearing this I was filled with a strong temptation to drive over to the school after work so that I could moon him. After all, our state recently made mooning a legal form of self-expression.

However, on further reflection I decided against it. I realized that even if I did get some satisfaction out of flashing my generously-proportioned derriere at the Chimperator , I would merely be placing myself on Big Brother's list of people to be monitored very closely. That is, if I am not already on it for being a member of that terrorist organization, the National Resources Defense Council.

Therefore instead of going to the school and flaunting my stuff, I went to the office and then home to bed. So much for dreams of sticking it to the man.

4. Havent you heard?
The FBI is now calling environmental and animal rights groups like PETA, ELF, ALF, EF etc., "terrorist organizations". Interestingly enough, groups that have actually killed people (or advocated the deaths of people) such as the KKK, Skinheads, 700 Club, etc. are not considered terrorists. In an interesting twist of logic, boycotting businesses or damaging property equal terrorism, while threatening and killing people do not. :eyes:

10. right I knew about that
I heard about PETA and ELF, but never about the NRDC. I take it that you were joking about NRDC, but I can't put it past them so I had to take it seriously

11. I was half joking
After all, they start with PETA, ALF, ELF and EF. Then they start coming for Sierra Club, The Audubon Society, NRDC and any other groups that raise a fuss against big corporations that damage the environment or harm animals, thereby potentially damaging their precious profits. After all, this is the age of corporatism, where big businesses are of much more importance than living beings.

Did you know thatwhen chimpy was an elementary school papa bush walked him to class every day. Not because he wanted to but because they were both assigned the same class room.

7. Only time will tell
Sunday night's Simpson's episode intro had Bart writing on the blackboard, "I am not smarter than the President". What a joke--of course he is! :rofl:

9. Hopefully
They need it just for having been in his presence, if not for really understanding what he is.

Though I'm sure he deliberately picked an elementary school as he knew they'd be too young to know what a f*ckup he is. If he went to a high school or even a middle school he'd risk getting hit with awkward questions or even looks of derision. Little kids are still young enough to just think, "Oh wow, this is the President", and not have any real value judgments attached to it.
