Okay... I'm sure I'm pushing it here by posting anything political (even in a humor forum), but judging by the recent election at least half of you shouldn't be offended. But no need to hold a grudge if you are... I'm nice to most everyone and bikes know no affiliation. :)
#1
A lobbyist, on his way home from work in Washington, D.C., came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual."
He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, so he rolled down his window and asked,"Officer, what's the hold-up?"
The officer replied, "The President is depressed, so he stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in Iraq, or the worsening deficit and economy, or that his tax cuts won't help anyone except his wealthy friends. So we're taking up a collection for him."
The lobbyist asks, "How much have you got so far?"
The officer replied, "About four gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."
#2
Wednesday was Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address. As Air America Radio pointed out, it is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication and the other involves a groundhog. (Bada-bing!)
(Just a little fun, but feel free to flame on. I can take the heat... though I may have just blown my shot at winning the first Stromtrooper giveaway.)
