STOP. This is another example of somewhat playful political post on my part which will quickly deteriorate into a vicious partisan wrangle. Don’t even go here.
I apologize in advance for posting this highly immature image.
In the meantime, we can anticipate not only seeing a lot of the President in the next 8 months but also this joyous, inspiring and uplifting countenance:
Kinda give me shivers. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m voting for the guy and everything…
Kerry is the fella the Reps were hoping for,
after Dean peaked too soon. This may be
very sad. Maybe I can spend the next eight
months in Switzerland. Best

You think you have a problem? What about all the unfortunate Frogs that had to vote for Chirac because their lousy electoral system threw up (sic) such an unthinkable alternative in the form of Jean-Marie Le Pen. At least you get to choose between dangerous and boring.
I fear I have inadvertently done Switzerland, the Swiss, and Amar a gross disservice by earlier implying that there was only one Swiss Joke. I made that bold and utterly erroneous assertion in all innocence, believing it to be true (The One True Joke having been mentioned earlier).
However. Subsequent exhaustive research via the internet has revealed the truth of the matter: There are in fact eight Swiss Jokes. The first aforementioned, concerning the making of a Swiss Roll, and 7 others, which are to be found on the internet, residing for posterity here:
I apologise unreservedly to Amar, and all the good people of Switzerland, for my earlier error, and wish to assure you all that having acquainted myself with the 7 other Swiss Jokes in existence, I am of course rolling on the floor hooting with laughter (much to the amazement of my colleagues here in the office). They are very, very funny. I wish I had thought of them.
Zoob’s frogs are amusing also, but really The Eight Swiss Jokes are…well…you be the judge.
My mother-in-law was Swiss and, needless to say, she was not perfect. However, she was from Ticino, the Italian-speaking Canton. Maybe it’s the Italian influence - such chaos and emotionalism. I was told by my boss at a factory in Appenzell (AR) that I should really reconsider marying my wife who is half Italian because, “They are really not like us.”

I believe I read in the NYTimes that President Bush has $100 million stashed away for his campaign, that should buy a lot of T.V. ads. Good thing I don’t watch too much tube or I’d be forced to get TiVo, so I could slyly bypass the ads. Cheney doesn’t have stock in TiVo does he?
Sorry, I was only off by 50 mill. Say does anyone know who does the accounting work for Mr. Bush, they wouldn’t make a 50 million dollar reporting error would they? Must’ve been me, sorry, next time I’ll check before posting so recklessly, hope I didn’t lead any astray.
