"We are going back to the world."
He raised his hand
and over the desolate earth
he traced in space
the sign of the dollar.

Joke of the Day
Send in your best ones -- and don't blame us if these jokes are both poor and stupid.

There are less than eight months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States.

The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive with your headlights on during the day.

If you support Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, please drive with your headlights off at night.

Three Soviet prisoners were put into the same jail cell. The first said, "I was always late to work, so I was accused of stealing from the people."

The second said, "I was always early to work, so I was accused of brown-nosing."

The third said, "I was always on time to work, so I was accused of wearing a Western watch!"

The U.S. equivalent:

Three executives convicted under anti-trust law were sitting at the same table in the prison cafeteria. The first said, "I charged more than others and was convicted of price-gouging."

The second said, "I charged less than others and was convicted of predatory pricing."

The third said, "I charged exactly the same as everyone else and was convicted of collusion!"

Somehow George W. Bush and Bill Clinton ended up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each attended by a different barber, not a word was spoken.

The barbers were afraid to start a conversation, fearing it would turn to politics. As they finished their shaves, Clinton's barber reached for the after shave.

Clinton was quick to stop him saying, "No thanks, my wife Hillary will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse."

The second barber turned to Bush and said, "How about you?" Bush replied, "Go ahead, my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like."
