there are some old favs of course like:

Congress: The opposite of progress

I'm sure there are more old favs, but that's the only one that comes to mind, perhaps I should make up some new old favs?

Bushism: Well, we don't really need a definition for this one, cuz it's funny just thinking about all of them.

I remember seeing awhile back in a bookstore a book of Bushisms saying in it. It was kinda funny lol. It reminded me for ya'll lol...

ah yes, i recognize some of these. but others are new ~ and i plan to use them right away.

I like the Frisbeetarianism one the best.

I don't really understand it, but I think it's funny....

Hi MKF,

I set my timer every night to watch, and fall asleep by, the Late Show.

Jay just doesn't do it for me, I'm a die-hard Letterman fan.

My favorite segments on the show are the Top 10 (most nights) and
the Great Moments in Presidential Speeches. I can't wait to hear the latest
pearls of wisdom from George W. What a colossal boob!
