2. There are as many garden gnomes in Congress as atheists
And the garden gnome didn't have to win seventeen times in a safe district before he could admit it ;)

3. Thousands of garden gnomes are abducted every year.
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 03:14 PM by quantessd
And the news routinely ignores these missing-gnomes cases.

4. Someone needs to ask Mitt Romney if there will be a garden gnome in his cabinet.
Or at least some lower level position such as elevator operator in the West Wing.

5. Yes, and they are clearly discriminated against.
For example, we have a Tomb of the Un-gnome Soldier!

6. Our house is surrounded (protected) by gnomes
My wife has them in the landscaping, around the trees and on the patio. They do a fine job, whatever job it is that they do.

9. Are you exploiting those gnomes?
Are your gnomes in this nation legally, and are you paying social security for them?

7. I have a large collection of Garden Gnomes
They are not covered by the 14th Amendment so I can keep them as long as I want and they can scare away the bunny rabbits.

8. Are you suggesting that we have a garden gnome gap?
Is there a need for more garden gnome representation on the president's cabinet?

16. What if they speak gnome instead of English?
Is it still ok for them to be on the cabinet then?

20. Shakes head silently.
I never thought I'd see the day when garden gnomes were so discriminated against on a supposedly progressive board....

10. Garden Gnomes: the quiet & extremely, nonconfrontational types?
No, I'd say they are well represented in Congress, at least on the Dem side...:eyes:

29. Absolutely not! I considered putting this in GD Politics ... or the NY Times.
But it seemed perfect here.
