6. OK - get this straight; disasters are extra-political.

I don't give a shit if they're driving a Hummer; I mean, it's not smart, and makes you look like you're extending a middle finger to the world.

However, the idea that someone's house deserves to burn because of their environmental ignorance just doesn't, er, truck with me and mine.

This is about making sure that people, American people, any of us, don't get burned up.

Get it?

27. Right. 'Charles U. Farley' would be a spoonerism.

This is more like a Howard-Stern-esque, Seymour Butts kind of joke.

Funny is relative. Were I fourteen, I'd probably find that funny.

13. He was reading "Yellow River" by I.P. Daily.
His kids were watching DVDs in the back. One was called "100 Yards to the Outhouse" by Will. E. Makeit, and the other was called "Antlers in the Treetops" by Whogoosed Themoose.

I would have recommended "Sex in Hawaii" by Comeon I. Wannalayya

Edited on Tue Oct-23-07 11:01 PM by quantessd
What show did this asinine bit come from?
Can't CNN tell that their savvy, smart, informed, viewers are seeing their intelligence disparaged, and that we don't appreciate it?

How many IQ points lower would you like to sink, CNN? Glenn Beck will be your "anchor" man.
