"frog march" is an archaic french foreign legion punishment; you were ordered to march whilst squatting, & keep up w/formation.

they used to have some very harsh discipline, that 1 was mild.

i believe kool-aid refers to the jonestown mass suicide, but i may be wrong on that 1.

5. Definitions
"frog march" is to forcibly remove someone from an area.

"Kool aid" refers to the poison-laced koolaid that Jones cult members
drank. In this context, it means to self-destruct.

"Pretzels" refers to the incident several years ago when GWB choked on pretzels while watching TV, and is generally used to describe abject stupidity.

Tang records: I'm not sure. I think it may refer to Bush's service records.

Entirely understandable... that was the day the Enron thingy broke on the news and he knew how deeply connected he was with "Kenny Boy"... therefore the choking was completely within his rights.

7. I think the kool-aid is a reference to the fact that Jonestown people
believed in their leader so implicitly, when he told them to kill themselves by drinking poison-laced kool-aid, they did.

I use "kool-aid" to refer to completely misguided, misinformed people who are going to vote for shrub because they are convinced that he is a sweet, Christian man who has their interests at heart.

12. Not "Tang records," "TANG records"
TANG means Texas Air National Guard, where the Bush boy went AWOL from. Just another thing he's hiding.

8. Joe Wilson said he wants to see Karl Rove "frog marched"
from the White House for revealing Joe's wife was a CIA operative.

Seattle Activist Dave had a DU glossary, but I cannot find it on his site. I get failed links.
