his wall. He told me he had to donate $10,000 each to get them and I thought that was perhaps well, a lie since he still owes me money he never seems to have on hand.

2. Gonna be expensive...
..Presidents and World Leaders bring big bucks.

I think Hitler's autograph brings in huge amounts. GWB is right up there.

3. I'll donate a cigarette butt off the ground for one; I need something to line the birdcage with...
...on second thought, forget it--it'd scar Tweety for life!

4. My understanding: They send the photo first, then ask for donations
On some forms that are sent along with the picture. They target people in upper middle class residential neighborhoods, assuming the inhabitants *must* be repugnican. LOL.

8. We got a picture of Dubya and Pickels every year for four years.
My wife swears she didn't send in a nickel.

However, it is possible that one of her brothers or her dastardly father plopped out some cash in her name just to irritate us.

11. It's strange... You'd think they'd at least check voter registration first
Edited on Mon Nov-27-06 11:24 AM by Truth Hurts A Lot
Or maybe they think that the persons receiving the photos will feel so special that they will switch parties and donate? :shrug:

10. I'm Bush's fifth cousin - you can tell folks you know a cousin of his
Not kidding - we share the same great-great-great-grandmother through my maternal grandmother side and the Walker family on his side.
