GOP, TO MOTIVATE THE BASE, CAMPAIGNS WITH BORAT
In light of the polls showing the loss of at least the House of Representatives in tomorrow’s midterms, the GOP has decided to throw the ultimate “Hail Mary” — a last minute campaign blitz with Borat.

As RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman put it, “who better than Borat to appeal to all of the red-meat issues that rile up our base: hatred of Jews, hatred of gays, hatred of women, and hatred of the Enlightenment.”

“And the fact that he’s been married to his half-sister,” Mehlman added, “is bound to solidify our hold in the South.”

Preliminary reports are that many GOP candidates who fled from campaign appearances with Bush are now falling all over themselves to appear with Borat. Although these candidates are fully aware that Borat’s routine is a joke, their nearly uniform response has been “Who cares, so is Bush’s.”

3. Another "Bandwidth Stealing" image
This time, from the Church Sign Generator.

That's just what the world needs -- more greedhead hipsters with lawyers. Willing to spend a nickel to tell you that you stole a penny from the financial empire they built from millions of people promoting their website without compensation. All using larcenous, socialistic HTML, the Napster of mark-up languages!

I wonder who the Church Sign Generator people stole their original image from?

Nobody paid me a cent for my share of the Internet, which was built (partially) with my tax money. So when will they send me my cut of their profits?

One of these days, we're going to have to pay a royalty to the Windsors for the use of "their" language. All you have to do is declare that you own something, and, as in the Jane's Addiction song, "it's mine, mine-all-mine". You can claim to own words, mathematical formulae, computer mouse clicks, "bandwidth", whole data streams, and even the U.S. Presidency. It's all been certified as legal.

Incidentally, I'll be suing J. K. Rowling for "stealing" the 700-year-old word I use as my on-line nickname.

4. Could have been worse...
At least they didn't swap the picture out for an image of "Tub Girl" or the "GOATSE Guy".

(been there... done that).
