War Is SO 20th Century QUOTE OF THE DAY A word to the wise isn't necessary -- it's the stupid ones who need the advice. - - Bill Cosby RHINO HERE: Believing that impending war is like life, in that, "If you don't have a sense of humor about it, it's not very funny", I offer the following attempts at weekend political humor: - One Interview (with Hunter S. Thompson on Shrub's War) - Two Satirical Spoofs - A whole bunch of Signs Seen At Recent Anti-war Demonstrations Have a great weekend!

Bush. Both of his books have been lost. The president is reportedly devastated. Apparently, he had not finished coloring the second one. "North Dakota Found To Be Harboring Nuclear Missiles" (The Onion, 2/5/2003) BISMARCK, ND—The stage was set for another international showdown Monday, when chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix confirmed that the remote, isolationist state of North Dakota is in possession of a large stockpile of nuclear missiles. "Satellite photos confirm that the North Dakotans have been quietly harboring an extensive nuclear-weapons program," said Blix, presenting his findings in a speech to the U.N. Security Council. "Alarmingly, this barely developed hinterland possesses the world's most technologically advanced weapons of mass destruction, capable of reaching targets all over the world."...
