Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Great column to defend the Iraqi war.

"Before, we educated ourselves to be able to leave. We were like machines, and we kept our emotions inside," said Falih.

Both women insisted that most Iraqis support the American troops. "We want to say thank you to the mothers and fathers of American soldiers," says Falih.

Charlie Daniels, always known as a bigot and racist.

"Someone who is trying to get popular through bigotry, bias and hatred should not be welcome, especially in a city like Dearborn with its rich diversity," Imad Hamad, regional director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

Very true Imad. You know how those country singers spew hatred and bigotry in their concerts. It's like a regular Klan meeting when Charlie Daniels takes the stage. Fiddle and all.

Raw corn, "typically fed to livestock," makes a nifty snack for our nation's Rancher in Chief. ("Are you sure that's not a bear? Or a puma?")

Obama Baracka makes a humorous point:

"I think he'll need to explain how he can best represent the people of Illinois, not having ever lived here."

Dangerous naïveté from a chemistry teacher in Wisconsin:

"In light of 9/11, you have to take it seriously," [Doug] Thorne said. "I don't think it's a political play for votes. If they're going to do that, they'll do it in September or October."

Come on, Doug. Are you kidding me? Maybe these terror warnings were politically-motivated, and maybe they weren't, but honestly, does anyone think they (politicians in general, not just Republicans) would wait until September to step it up? Maybe you haven't been thinking about the election for the past year and a half, but you can be sure that pretty much everyone in Washington has (including, despite his protestations, the Little Secretary Who Couldn't).

Please click this link and see if it's really Tigger being carted out of court.

"Tigger had fondled under her arm and kept touching her right breast. She was embarrassed and ashamed and didn't want to tell me at that time. She has been crying a lot and does not want to come back to Disney World or ever see Tigger again," she wrote.

Enough said.

Tennessee Republicans didn't get a mainstream candidate on the House primary ballot in time, so the TN GOP is left with Jim Hart, who may actually be legally insane:

"Every person who opens the door -- as long as they're white -- I'll say, 'I'm James Hart. I'm running for Congress. My name will be on the ballot in the Aug. 5 Republican primary. I think white children deserve the same rights as everyone else.'"

Followup from Mike, 8/6: Even Jim Hart thought Jim Hart was too racist to become the GOP nominee: "'I didn't expect to win,' Hart said."

Remember when I lamented the fact that Dubya granted an interview to Dr. Phil? Turns out, that was the tip of the iceberg.

Kerry gets clever:

"President Bush is just a few blocks from here," Kerry said. "It occurred to me that he could meet me here for a great discussion of America's future if he was just willing to turn the corner."

President's coming to town... better hide the cash.

Three men named "Lamar Lemmons" ran in the MI Dem House primaries yesterday. Two won.
