What a great slogan: "My friends, we live in the GREATEST nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." (B. Obama) If this doesn't worry you, forget that I even mentioned it....

Yes, of course, since America is clearly already perfect.  No room for improvement here.  I can tell that by the complete and total absence of complaints about anything on this blog.

Gotta admit that was pretty awkward wording.  Probably should have said "make it even better" instead of "change it" but that wouldn't have reinforced the central message.  I doubt anyone should be worrying that he meant that he wants to change our place as the greatest nation as opposed to improve what we've already got... but he threw his opponents some red meat by trying a little too hard to stay on message.

Hillary is taking a stroll when she comes upon a little girl carrying a basket with a blanket over it. Curious. HIllary asks the girl, "What's in the basket?"

 She replies, "New baby kittens," and she opens the basket to show her.

 "How nice," says Hillary. "What kind are they?" The little girl says,  "Democrats."

 Hillary smiles, pats the little girl on the head and continues on.

 Three weeks later, Hillary is taking another stroll, this time with Bill.
 They see the little girl again with the same basket. Hillary says, "Watch this, Bill; it's really cute." They approach the little girl.

 Hillary greets the little girl and asks how the kittens are doing, and she says, "Fine."

 Then, smirking, she nudges Bill with his elbow and asks the little girl, "And can you tell us what kind of kittens they are?" She replies,    "Republicans"

 Abashed, Hillary says, "But three weeks ago you said they were Democrats!"

 "I know," she says. "But now their eyes are open."

The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the mountains of Alaska for some sight-seeing.  He was cruising along the campground in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.
 
 A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a "Save the Whales" hat, and a "To Hell with Bush" T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10 foot grizzly bear.
 
 As the Pope watched horrified, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum into the bear's chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear's grasp, then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the third tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.
 
 As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions!" he told them.  "I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic Environmental Activists but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
 
 As the Pope drove off, one of the loggers asked his buddies "Who was that guy?"
 
 "It was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact with heaven and has access to all wisdom."
 
 "Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom but he sure don't know anything about bear hunting!  Is the bait holding up, or do we need to go back to Massachusetts and get another one?"
