Burning Bush

OK -- I remembered what I wanted to post about. Actually not so much of a post as a cut and paste. I do not know who created this and I am sure many of you have seen this, but in case you haven't I really enjoyed it.

Just as an aside, obviously I am a Democrat. Hello, I am gay. I do not understand gay Republicans. Just seems odd. I feel the same way about African American Republicans, Female Republicans and any individual who is a member of a minority group that votes Republican. I just do not understand. Anyway, I am not happy with our current choice of John Kerry. He is the lesser of two evils.

I am not the sort of person to scream my political beliefs from a soap box and I respect everyone's opinion. I just do not understand all of them. So, I hope this doesn't offend or annoy too many of you. I just found this quite interesting and funny as hell.

license suspended for 30 days.

My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

I was a cheerleader.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S. Congress. I lost.

an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went
bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took
land using taxpayer money.

With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry (including
Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS:

I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making
Texas the most polluted state in the Union.

During my tenure, Houston replaced LosAngeles as the most smog-ridden
city in America.

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in
borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any governor in American
history.

appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over
500,000 votes.

My political party used Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.
