How Giuliani Could Win My Vote!

He could move the White House to Fallujah!

(Ok, ok, I'm kidding. I still wouldn't vote for him. Has anyone seen Rudy's new mistress yet? I hear that's the real reason he decided to run for Preznit--he's looking to trade up.)

Yep Siree, It's a Modern World,

Incidently, I don't see why Mr.9/11 Man is just in need of dire warning, that terrorism is a problem. Of course it is a problem, but there are other concerns that Mr.9/11 is not considering threatnening. There are people in his own administration that have thrawted rules to help their own non-terroristic pursuits. They behaved in a manor less than appealing as far as a politician of the people are concerned. There are many areas that fall short due to overlooking the concerns, as unimportant, keeping our trains running smoothly and safely are extremely important to New Yorkers, and doing it with other money besides squeezing the citys middel class, and other areas of income that may not accomdate a raise in fare hikes.

There are many ares of revenue in New York City, that can be appropiated but the poor and middel class is hurting. It has to be seen as extremly important as well, other wise these people are going to find themselves at the dispense of heartless types, bosses who choose to fire somebody just because they don't like that person. And other ways that are unfair to our cost of living standards, and things continue to go up, and the underdog has to support the many corruptions and other types of fraud, that hurt the people that they were supposed to protect, who can I call to report this terror to?

Don't forget the radios that did not work..

And the resulting deaths of police and firemen from that utter lack of preparation. Not to mention the interference in rescue efforts his grandstanding got in the way of.

How does Rudy get away with it? The same way GWB has - and still does - one imagines.

It takes a comic strip to start to demolish these candidates.

Thanks, Tom Tomorrow.

Rudy Giuliani

I seriously wonder what Rudy Giuliani was thinking in running for president. Somewhere along the line the words "parlay this attention into more power" have to come up.

You know what cancels his candidacy out for me (aside from deeming himself too gifted a legal-mind to risk getting killed serving in Vietnam, and being too creative with city accounting and funds to hide AND protect his sleeping around)? How can he root for the Red Sox and the Yankees both? It's so disingenuous. It's dishonest. Pick one! Don't jerk everybody around. Sox or Yanks! Screw all that other shit. Sox or Yanks? This is as telling as George W. Bush's minimal interest in making the Texas Rangers a winning team.

Tom Tomorrow still rules

Great cartoon...

Slam that Giuliani!

Be sure to slam the rest of the idiots...

I'll be waiting...

One day I spoke to someone who said, "If you like the funny, Mevlevi dervish poet, Rumi, You'll Love, Hisham Ali Hafiz."

Reading that Tom Tomorrow goof on O, Reilly made me silly and borderline colic or sorta feeling Sufi ", health or galactic.

ecstatic. Laughter is health. There is a poem you reminded me to read: Birdsong from Inside the Frog. It can make the insides whirl, and love can wake, and as Oz reminded me.

Joy.

If You Like Tom Tomorrow . . .

Check out his skewering of Bill O'Reilly at the Village Voice. It's absolutely hilarious.

baby moon hubcaps cost $9.11 at the Castor wheel whorehouse motel store.

or something like that...free prophylactics for kids under eleven years old?

all the caster beans ya's want at the breakfast buffet.

Tom, yesterday...

yesterday in the Washington Post coupon section it reads:

Hurry In NOW! Sale ends tomorrow! Buy one, get three free.

Plus, check out the END of tomorrows closeout! Great gifts.

Sleep Begins Here! Buy a Mattress at Warehouse Discounters!

I think a good idea would be to sell our vehicles and hammer together a wood box? If we die today, we could get a good night sleep? If we put caster beans in the wood box it could serve as a coffin. Food after the wake? If we put caster rolling wheels on the coffin's bottom we'd not need a car.

A good idea would be to buy a cheap coffin size mattress at the warehouse. We'd be able to call Nationwide Insurance Company and have it insured. The Homeland Department Transportation and Vehicle License Division will permit all citizens to wear no-shits? sorry-no-shirts. We'd be permitted to use the wood box like a kid's boy and girl scout's balsa-car roller derby. The gas we-woe's save would make it possible do afford a Seta, Sealy or used motel mattress? If the creek overflows, the wood coffin would be guaranteed to float. Kids love to flow down the Lethe River in a green and yellow colored canoe toward the hades ocean.

It be a great bean gas powered vehicle.

I want a candidate that will keep me safe from another 9/11

even if that means putting us at risk for many more 9/11's.

Monday, December 3, 2007 12:42 AM

Take me away, 9/11!

I don't want to hear anything else from these candidates, but the crucial issue of where they stand (or stood) on 9/11. Was it bad? And if so, how bad? Can we trust brown people? And if so, which ones?

9/11 comes only once a year, but that doesn't mean we can't relive it and obsess over it the other 364 days. And when I say "obsess" I don't mean worry about recommendations from the 9/11 commission like securing ports and Nuclear materials. I'm getting getting worked up! Yelling! And attacking 9/11 and/or al qaeda looking places like Iraq. You got to admit, that place has a sort of sketchy "brown muslim" look to it.

Listen, I don't care how many nations we alienate or how many new terrorists we help recruit for Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

I want a candidate that will keep me safe from another 9/11 even if that means putting me at risk of many more 9/11's!

Because when all is said and done, I know when the next 9/11 comes. Rudy will be there with a blowhorn to begin immediately protecting us from the next 9/11. And so on.
