Speaking of drugs, hey Dubya, know where I can get some good yay-yo?

Seriously, that's just pathetic. Does anyone give a rat's ass about this?

People do care about the influences that help make the men who would be President.

Here's the biography of Kerry's grandfather (the one who changed his name from Kohn to Kerry, and committed suicide):

Frederick A ... Kerry, shoe merchant, b. as Fritz Kohn at dwelling 224, Bennisch, Austria [now Horni Benešov, Severomoravsky province, Czech Republic], 10 May 1873, birth recorded among the Jewish births on the last folio (folio 77) of vol. VII (1866-1873) of the Roman Catholic birth records of the Bennisch parish, baptized along with his wife and infant son Erich at the Pfarrkirche St. Othmar in Mödling, Austria, on 9 Oct. 1901 (Erich had been born at Mödling, Feldgasse 67, on 26 Feb. 1901), by decree of 17 Dec 1901 of the Austrian Statthalterei in Vienna the name Kohn was officially changed to Kerry (for Fritz, his wife Ida, geb. Löwe, and their son Erich) at which time Fritz was listed as born in Bennisch but originating from Freudenthal, and currently working as a supplier for a shoe factory in Mödling (the name change was ordered in Austrian Silesia on 17 March 1902 at Troppau), sailed (with his wife and son Erich) on the Koenigin Luise departing from Genoa, Italy, on 4 May 1905 and arriving in New York (Ellis Island) on 18 May 1905, filed a Declaration of Intention for naturalization in the Circuit Court of Cook Co., Ill., on 21 June 1907, and a Petition of Naturalization in the same Court on 6 Feb. 1911, d.

He changed his name from Kohn to Kerry!?!? Well then I must read on...

You are very funny, Mr President.

[andyfox]

That does it. I'm voting for Ralph Nader. Or perhaps I'll write in Cal Ripken Jr.

Either are a better choice than you, Mr. President.

I look foward to your memoirs.

[jokerswild]

You truly aren't the President. You keep posting blatant political fumbles. GHWB wouldn't approve of talking about the ancestors.

That is not attractive. She looks half stoned and semi-anorexic, and that looks like Jockey shorts under the black mosquito netting.

Waylon Jennings had a song about: I like my women just a tad on the trashy side. I don't know about Waylon, but that's too trashy for me.

Looks like neither Bush nor Kerry are in line for Father of the Year awards.

A little underage drinking does not compare to running around like a slut! My daughters are good girls and I am a good father.
