A little boy goes to his dad and asks. “what is politics?”
Dad says, “Well son, let me try to explain it this way. I’m the head of the family, so call me the President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And, your baby brother, we can call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.” So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.”
The father says, “Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.”
The little boy replies, “The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.”

A teacher in New York asked her 6th grade class how many of them were McCain fans…
Not really knowing what a McCain fan was, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he decided to be different…again.
Little Johnny said, ‘Because I’m not a McCain fan. The teacher said, ‘Why aren’t you a McCain fan?’
Johnny said, Because I’m a Democrat.’ The teacher asked why he’s a Democrat. Little Johnny answered, ‘Well, my Mom’s a Democrat and my Dad’s Democrat, so I’m a Democrat.’
The teacher asks, ‘If your Mom was a moron, and your Dad was an idiot, what would that make you?’
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, ‘That would make me a McCain fan.’

An old country doctor was sewing up a wound on a farmer’s hand when the conversation turned to politics.
The doctor asked the farmer, “Well, what do you think about the job Bush has done as President?”
The farmer said, “His daddy did alright, I guess, but George W has been purty much a post turtle.”
“What’s a post turtle?” asked the doctor.
The farmer said, “When yer drivin’ down the road and ya come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top of it? That’s a post turtle. Ya know he couldn’t have got up there by hisself, he don’t belong there, he cain’t get nothin’ done while he’s up there, and ya just wanna help take the poor thang down.”

George H.W. Bush was in his front yard mowing his grass when little George W. came out of the house and rushed straight to the mailbox.
W opened it, looked in, then slammed it shut and stormed back into the house.
As the elder Bush was getting ready to edge the lawn, looking his son, little W. came back out to the mailbox, opened it, felt all the way to the back, and then slammed it closed harder than ever.
Puzzled by his son’s actions, George (senior) asked him, “Is something wrong?”
To which he replied, “There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps saying, “YOU’VE GOT MAIL.”

When Charles deGaulle decided to retire from public life, the British ambassador and his wife threw a gala dinner party in his honor.
At the dinner table, the Ambassador’s wife was talking with Madame deGaulle: “Your husband has been such a prominent public figure, such a presence on the French and international scene for so many years! How quiet retirement will seem in comparison. What are you most looking forward to in these retirement years?”
“A penis,” replied Madame deGaulle.
A huge hush fell over the table. Everyone heard her answer… and no one knew what to say next.
Le Grand Charles leaned over to his wife and said, “Ma cherie, I believe ze English pronounce zat word, ‘appiness!’”

Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in Ithaca, New York to talk about the world.
After her talk she offers question time.
One little boy puts up his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.
“Kenneth.”
“And what is your question, Kenneth?”
“I have three questions:
First — whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second — why would you run for President after your husband was almost impeached?
And third — whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?”
Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess. When they resume Hillary says, “Okay where were we? Oh, that’s right, question time. Who has a question?”
A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.
“Larry.”
“And what is your question?”
“I have five questions:
First — whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second — why would you run for President after your husband was almost impeached?
Third — whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?
Fourth — why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?

A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened.Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA, they decided to send it to President Bush.
The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill.
President Bush thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to God, which read:
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, those crooks deducted $95.00.

There’s a show on C-SPAN about presidential libraries. Here’re what the draft plans for the George W. Bush Library now call for:
The Alberto Gonzales Room - Where you can’t remember any of the exhibits.
The Hurricane Katrina Room - It’s still under construction.
The Texas Air National Guard Room - Where you don’t have to even show up.
The Walter Reed Hospital Room - Where they don’t let you in.
The Guantanamo Bay Room - Where they don’t let you out.
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room - Nobody has been able to find it.
The War in Iraq Room - After you complete your first tour, they can force you to go back for your second and third and fourth and fifth tours.
The K-Street Project Gift Shop - Where you can buy an election, or, if no one cares, steal one.
The Men’s Room - Where you could meet a Republican Senator (or two).
To be fair, the President has done some good things, and so the museum will have an electron microscope to help you locate them.
When asked, President Bush said that he didn’t care so much about the individual exhibits as long as his museum was better than his father’s.

3) People are spitting on the wrong side

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant
operated by a fellow cannibal. Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and
looked over the menu…
+ Tourist: $5
+ Broiled Missionary: $10.00
+ Fried Explorer: $15.00
+ Baked Democrat or Grilled Republican: $100.00
The cannibal called the waiter over and asked,
‘Why such a price difference for the politicians?’
The cook replied,

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”
“No problem, just let me in,” says the man.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”
“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the senator.
“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, Shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting Rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises…
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
“Now it’s time to visit heaven.”
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would Never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. “I don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, “Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted.”

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; it’s conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?
