I don't know what people are worried about.  This guy's obviously bad-ass gangstah.

Social Security
My caption: "My generation promised 70 years ago that you would pay for our retirement! Now pay up!"

What a great scheme.  I think we should vote for even more benefits for ourselves to be paid off by our children and grandchildren.  And the cycle of cross-generational oppression spins 'round again.

Bonus: a fascinating article about freed sex slaves and their troubles - particularly one Srey Neth, exploited once again by her family.

I've never said I didn't like President Bush as a person - even his really vitriolic opponents don't tend to attack his personality, just his politics.  He seems like a genuinely nice guy, and has a good sense of humor.  So I find this story hilarious - especially the last paragraph.

Yeah, I know it's a silly tradition that every president does every year - but I found this year's story much more humorous than normal.

I found this post on politics1.com (10/20/04) to be extremely amusing:
REPUBLICAN SEX VS. DEMOCRATIC SEX. ABC News actually conducted a poll this week on the comparative sex lives of Democrats and Republicans. 56% of Republicans and 47% of Democrats said they were "very satisfied with their sex life." Also, 33% of Dems and 26% of Republicans said they had faked orgasms. If I'm reading this right, I think that implies Republicans have better sex lives (or, at least, have set the bar on "satisfaction" at a much lower mark). Nader, presumably, will call a press conference to denounce the Dems and media for trying to block him from having sex (although I think Nader sex would likely be a solo act with a full-length mirror). No word about Libertarian sex lives ... but I'd think that would probably involve a trapeze, numerous consenting adults, some handguns, a bunch of marijuana, and Mike Badnarik giving participants a lengthy lecture on constitutional rights.
Gotta love it...  Mr. Badnarik's lecture should prove particularly entertaining.

This reminds me vaguely of The 25 Most Inappropriate Things An Objectivist Can Say During Sex:
7. "To say 'F*** me harder' one must first know how to say the 'me'."
17. "What do you mean, it's 'possible' that you had an orgasm? Are you saying that you have some evidence that you had an orgasm, but not sufficient evidence?"
21. "You selfish bitch! You greedy, selfish bitch! What? You don't like my pillow talk?"
