1. I wish it was a parody site, but
I fear it is not. Liked this snippet from the "Letters of Support" section-

"You know, one of my fondest memories is of the tour Jim and I took to New York City after our 35th anniversary. And the highlight of that tour was a trip to the Statue of Liberty. I went all the way up into her crown and looked out at New York City. That was before 9/11 of course. And now come to find out that Lady Liberty was given to us by those communist peacemongers. Well, it just turns all those memories to a bitter pain that's too much for me to bear. I think of that French statue and those fallen buildings, and I know there has to be a link."

Wouldn't want to be mongering peace now would you?

2. Gee. I knew that it was a gift from the French when I was in 2nd grade
That guy was old enough to be married 35 years, and apparently did not know it..:shrug:..

Wonder what else he does not know :(

5. I just figured it out
by looking at the French word conversion site.

My favorite was

Chandelier -Freedom Fire

8. I think the site's a joke
but some of their posters are serious

''Thank the Good Lord Jesus Christ someone has started fighting the good fight. Get that Statue of Froggery out of our country.''


''I not only think we should send back this filthy whore to the festering stinkole from which she came, but I'm remodeling my house to remove the basement, foyer, and all faucets. Filthy French, you can kiss my Eiffel Tower.''


''First they won't eat our beef, now they won't back us in this war. France needs to learn a lesson.''

''Not only should we send it back, we should boycott all French goods, close our Embassy in France and go to France and bring home the remains of the 55,000 bodies of US service men who died during WWII to liberate their sorry asses.''

To get all the wackos to write letters:)


We know that they are "humor" challenged :)

7. That's Reagan?
I thought it was Will Rogers. Funny enough to be a tribute to him.

Anyway, I pass by Ms. Liberty once a week or so, and the thought already occured to me that we should send her back to France-- where she'll be appreciated.

Not only has the Supreme Court declared that she is actually in <gasp> New Jersey waters, but you now can't get within a kilometer of her without swearing a loyalty oath, 6 forms of identification, a background check, and a cavity search. The Coast Guard has standing orders to intercept any boats nearing her. I think they sink you if there's an Orange Alert. God help you if you have a camera.

Every time I see her, I could swear she looks just a little bit more disappointed.

Or is she finally just homesick?

11. A few days ago I made a spoof someone thought was real
about Rumsfeld boasting an imaginary number of WMDs found -- and someone thought it was real! I don't have the search feature, can somebody search it for me?

12. LOL
I laughed. Then I looked on in horror, because I can actually envision this as reality. Then I laughed harder, because it's too well done.

So well done that those parodied don't "get" it when they find it.
