Weekly Joke and/Stuff

This week, I think it's a little better to talk about stuff than jokes. Reading the week's biggest headlines, I gotta say....what that fuck is happening to our country?

First off i'll talk about the Republician political disaster at the GOP Debates. The hilarious things coming out of John McCain's mouth made for a hilarious Daily Show episode. Besides that I found that GOP is scared, they are trying to give false hope, a lot. It's sad really. Amidst all the scandals direction involving the republican party, and the Bush administration's failures, the GOP as Desi Arnez as Ricky Ricardo would say "Gou Got a lot of 'splainin to do!" But it's not like would say the Democratic Debates were better, honestly, they have the advantage. But I don't like Hilary and Barrack Obama, they work like typlical demographic grabbing politicans, as opposed to a person who knows what's best for this country. But the sad fact is one of those 2 will be President. And it's funny thoughout this the fact that Barrack Obama is black and Hilary Clinton is a woman has shown itself little throughout the news, but I guess it's kind of obvious.

On other more prevalent topics, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela threatened Bush last week that agents of a gang, more or less under his command which according to the AP has over 3000 members already in the US, and would order them to attack if we invade Iran, which is something I ASSURE is going to happen. Very sadly, this will provoke the world which does not like us to retaliate, and we will lose lives. Hugo Chavez is a dangerous man, but oddly he had sent troops and supplies to Katrina victims 48hrs sooner than Federal troops and supplies were ordered to the area by Bush. Although he knew about the levies, he didn't care. Even the Canadian Mounted Police had sent men and supplies before the feds were there! He also paid for hundreds of poor Americans heating oil and gave very cheap oil to hundreds of others this past winter. Bush has placed tax embargoes from Venezuelan oil. CITGO an oil company that works with Venezuela oil, has higher gas prices as an affect from those embargoes, look at your local gas stations, I promise CITGO is higher than most if not all. It is here.

Bush has no reason to invade Iran. We're being lied to just like with Iraq, and this will be a war against a country with one of the largest armies in the area, and it's almost assured we will face N. Korean troops in Iran as well. And thousands of terrorists will fight there, our entire army will be in another country, leaving our homeland venerable. Bush would love a terrorist attack, despite his meaningless rhetoric. Think about it, his approval ratings are only up after terrorist attacks.

We are possibly starting WWIII and most people aren't aware of it, i'm trying to do my part to enlighten the world. We need peace, and policy.

The drug war is a smaller example of horrible GOP policy. Since "Reefer Madness of the late 1930's after prohibition we have wasted over 1 trillion dollars. Nixon officially proclaimed a "War on Drugs" when 2 things happened. The Control Substance Act of 1970 was signed by Congress, and he created a new Bureaucracy called the DEA. For the last 10 years we waste 40 billion dollars per year in just law enforcement against drug users and dealers. Most of which are not criminals in any other respect of the law.

The Drug War is a massive policy failure, many times the cost of prohibition. If you include the 2.5 million people in this country that are imprisoned for drug offenses, that's a costly war. Not just economically, but socially. It has in my opinion created a violent and competitive black market that reaches across the globe. An estimated $400 billion dollar a year business. An industry that fuels a large law enforcement industry. A big factor in the exsistance in the drug war to this day is law enforcement. It gives them more to do, and that means more money.

But in this sick, depressing, and often crazy world we live in humor is one thing we can all turn to and just laugh. One of the best in all the spectrum's of human emotion and experience. So here are my jokes of the week.

Sam Kinison-

"There's no happy ending to cocaine. You either die, you go to jail, or else you run out."

"Comedy is Reality. If you play real, then it will work. In the right bit, all you have to do is turn your head and react and you'll kill. You'll slay. You don't have to play anything big and slip on a banana and fart. 'Were doing a comedy so everybody act like an ass! Everybody make sure people get it. Joke ahead! Buckle up!"

Rondey Dangerfield

His first no respect joke, "I get no respect, when I was a kid I played hide and seek and they wouldn't even look for me"

"I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me. "

"We were poor growing up, when my rich aunt died, I owed her 20 bucks."
