I was feeling so patriotic after reading Dubya's 'State Of The Union Address' that I could hardly contain myself, so I decided to fly America's true colors today.

I move that we recommend this more appropriate re-design of Old Glory depicted on my T-shirt be adopted as the official flag of The Corporate States Of Amerika.

Excuse me while I go vomit, King George!

The only thing more disgusting than the state of this union is The State Of The World!

Blecccchhhhhh!

Even a good cup of tea can't get the bad taste out of my mouth, maybe a shot or two of Tequila will do the trick...

Pardon my smart-ass smirk but the gang-bangers in Washington get my cranky mischievous dander up...

You can be a Patriot too! Get your own Corporate States Of Amerika shirt here.

Yesterday evening our friend Jane, in Texas, e-mailed me the following list of quotes on "Political Wisdom".

Political wisdom! Now there's an oxymoron!!

1. Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.............Mark Twain

2. I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle...........Winston Churchill

3. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.............George Bernard Shaw

4. A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money............G. Gordon Liddy

5. Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner...........James Bovard

6. Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries............. Douglas Casey

7. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys...............P. J. O'Rourke

8. Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else..........Frederic Bastiat

9. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it......Ronald Reagan

10. I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts..............Will Rogers

11. The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin........Mark Twain

And I'll add this one.

12. The difference between the two parties is the difference between syphillis and gonorrhea..........Rita Mae Brown

Thanks Jane!

It helps to find a little humor in all this crap.
