I finally realized why the Dems are so timid. We don't have a Congress --
we have a CORPORATION.

And in business, one is taught NOT to make waves.
Go along with the program. Go along to get along.

How many rabble-rousers have you ever seen at the
office?

Everyone sits around like little church mice,
being very careful not to make a peep -- just
put your nose to the grindstone and be a good
little cog in the wheel. And for heaven's sake --
don't squeek, whatever you do. DON'T COMMUNICATE.
You might be misinterpreted. Just sit there and
try to look intelligent. After all, as the old
saying goes, "It's better to LOOK the fool, then
to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"

1. I've often said that there are no more countries...........
in the world, merely corporations wrapping themselves in flags, masquerading as countries. It's true.

2. Maybe...

I really wonder if Rove and COmpany haven't gotten the "goods" on nearly all the DEM members via their illegal wiretaps. I'm not implying evidence of corruption across the board (although there probably are some who fit that description), but rather embarrassing info on themselves or their close family members.

This is Rove's M.O. It has been reported elsewhere that he had been accumulating a "dirt" list on thousands of people since his early days in Texas politics. How else to explain the unexplicable timidness when the public has dramatically started to wake up to the Bush* incompetence, corruption , lies, and failures? It would also say even more about the press, since many of them are also in Rove's "dirty evidence files" I guess the quesion would be "who doesn't Rove have a dirty dossier" on? :mad:

God, these creeps deserve all their karmic comeuppance.....

7. This would be my bet.
The Dems are afraid of something. No, I take that back...they are terrified.

4. I'm the one that always starts waves.
People say I'll get fired. Instead I just get things improved.

5. Remember that Bush was supposed to be the "CEO president?"
All those outdated ideals of the Founding Fathers was to be replaced by a new and improved model of governance: the Business Model. Some kind of inevitable, evolutionary advance in human affairs. An improvement in efficiency, as I understand the theory.

Could any joke be less funny?
