The Democrats, in power but still as impotent as ever, are working on non-binding resolutions to oppose President Bush’s new strategy in Iraq. Since they’re non-binding, they don’t actually do anything, but a number of conservatives argue that these resolutions will hurt troop morale by sending the message that the mission is in vain.
It’s a stupid argument, though.
Am I supposed to believe that our troops in Iraq, who are in the middle of very serious work, are going to take even a moments notice of what the jackasses in Congress are up to? I don’t buy it.
So, I’m all for non-binding resolutions. In fact, if Congress did nothing but pass non-binding resolutions, the world would be a better place.

Another college frat party has drawn the condemnation of civil rights groups. Said a spokesman for PWGUAE – People Who Get Upset About Everything. “Just as we complained against white people mocking Martin Luther King day by partying with Aunt Jemima, eating fried chicken, and wearing gangster clothing – so too is it wrong for African Americans to mock those who are white.”
This latest outcry comes froma college party where African Americans gathered to celebrate and obviously mock white people.
Said one witness, “It was awful. They gathered round and sipped wine and champagne. There was an area where African American women gathered, and many of them weren’t even single mothers.”
Said another alarmed witness to the party, “It was horrible and insensitive. There was good grammar and diction everywhere. Many of them even held jobs!”
However, the fraternity had a defense. Said a spokesperson whose organization hosted the party. “Get over yourselves people. This wasn’t a gathering to mock white people. This was a meeting of the Black Republicans.”
The matter is still under investigation by the local college.

With the Hillary Clinton advertising on IMAO, I think it would be nice to offer her some help. Here are my ideas for her presidential campaign slogans:
Hillary ’08: Your soul is mine!
Hillary ’08: No power in the ‘verse can stop me!
Hillary ’08: Naked ambition given human form.
Hillary ’08: It’s time for a woman president whether you want it or not.
Hillary ’08: Don’t vote for that black guy!
Hillary ’08: America has existed long enough.
Hillary ’08: Comedy gold!
Hillary ’08: Satan compels you.
Hillary ’08: The survivors will envy the dead.
Hillary ’08: You’ll get a 10,000% return on your investment.
Hillary ’08: If I scare you this much, think of what’s it will be like for America’s enemies.
Hillary ’08: With me as president, the Mexicans will stop trying to get in here.
Hillary ’08: Because God hates you.

“We’re looking for your ideas on how we can work together for change.”

They want submissions for a ‘first blog post’ on her official blog.
My entry is as follows:

A great way to work for change is with a tin cup or a cardboard sign that says “Will work for food”. Though not technically work, this sort of activity does often result in the exchange of change. This is especially true in high traffic areas.
Another way is to look under vending machines in company break rooms. I’ve had some success at finding change while doing this. It is more work than just standing there with a cup or sign. Its more honorable than taking a handout too.
These are my ideas for working for change.
Also, you might (ghost) write another book. That could net you a couple of nickels also. And the ghost can do the work.That’s sort of working together.
Glad to help.

Hope I didn’t help too much.
