Kerry unfit for office -- sign petition to prosecute!
From: mailer@federalist.com




(Please forward this invitation to friends, family members, and
fellow American Patriots.)

It's official. John F. Kerry is the Democrat Party nominee for
President. But is he fit for office?

Kerry has a long and well-documented history of providing "aid and
comfort" to the enemy in time of war -- particularly in the case of
North Vietnam, Nicaragua and Cuba. Kerry, by his own account of his
actions and protests, violated the UCMJ, the Geneva Conventions and
the U.S. Code while serving as a Navy officer. Kerry met, on two
occasions, with North Vietnamese negotiators in 1970 and 1971,
willingly placing himself in violation of Article three, Section
three of the U.S. Constitution, which defines treason as "giving aid
and comfort" to the enemy in time of warfare.

Kerry was recognized for such "aid and comfort" in 1983, when he
received an award for special contributions to the Communist victory
from the incoming general secretary of the Communist Party of
Vietnam, Comrade Do Moi. (See photos at
http://kerry-04.org/war/record.php ).

Thus, in accordance with the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment,
Section 3, which states, "No person shall be a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or elector of President and
Vice-President ... having previously taken an oath ... to support
the Constitution of the United States, [who has] engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort
to the enemies thereof," We, the People of these United States,
believe John F. Kerry is unfit for public office.

Please join your fellow Patriots and sign the petition demanding
that John Kerry be prosecuted for "giving aid and comfort to the
enemy" and disqualified for national office. Link to --

[arizona_humor] Groaners of the Weak 07-31-04

GROANERS OF THE WEAK for the week ending 07-31-04

THE GROANERS

A couple had two children, a boy and a girl, who both turned out to be
gay. At first they remained closeted, but they were both musicians, and
when they found themselves quasi-famous, they feared being exposed in
the press and decided it was better if they were forthcoming about
their sexuality. The daughter has scheduled a press conference for this
afternoon in which she plans to introduce her life partner to the
press and tell the world she's a lesbian. And the son'll come out
tomorrow (Cynthia MacGregor)

This the story of a woodcarver who lived in a house in a forest with a
rabbit and a housemaid. Among the duties of the housemaid was to dress
the rabbit each morning as he was unable to dress himself. One day,
after they had had their breakfast and the rabbit was dressed, the
rabbit and the woodcarver went out into the forest to find wood that
would be suitable for carving. They soon found what they agreed was a
wonderful piece of wood just perfect for a wood sculpture.
Unfortunately, they couldn't agree on what to carve. The woodcarver
wanted to carve a mother sheep feeding her lambs. The rabbit wanted to
see the piece become a wooden Dutch shoe. Finally, they agreed to let
the housemaid decide, so they went back to the cottage and explained
their problem. The housemaid decided to flip a coin: Heads would mean
that the woodcarver would carve the sheep, tails would mean that the
shoe would win. You can imagine the suspense when she flicked up the
coin, caught it and peeked. Wood ewe or wooden shoe? Only the
haredresser knew for sure. (Sandy Sibert)

The soprano was hungry and refused to sing the opera if she didn't have
something to eat first. Misjudging the time before her cue, she grabbed
a huge bite of a pastrami sandwich just as the stage manager hissed,
"You're on," and so the audience had to listen to Carmen through the
rye. (Cynthia MacGregor)

At the Waffle house, a regular customer was served his breakfast, but
it arrived with only three sausages instead of the usual four. The
waitress explained that the cook had dropped one on the floor and was
making another. Soon the cook dashed out of the kitchen with the
freshly cooked sausage on a small plate and said, "Here you are." And
the customer said, "Look. It's the missing link!" (Arca Max)

A college fraternity was hosting an all-night binge drinking party but
they had only one toilet. With constant use all evening, it wasn't long
before the commode backed up and flooded them out. I guess you could
say the spirits were swilling but the flush was weak. (Gary Hallock)

Last night, I was frustrated by a mole who was digging up the hill
toward the house, leaving a trail of mounds. So I went outside to take
the hose and try to wash the mole out of its tunnel. As I left I
overheard my daughter, Jennifer, saying, "There goes Dad again, . . .
making fountains out of mole hills." (Douglas Helsel)

In a recent NBC poll in which people were asked whether they would
prefer to kill a minstrel or to kill a mime, nearly 83 percent
chose to shoot the minstrel. You see, they all agreed that a mime
is a terrible thing to waste. (Venky)

Yesterday I went into an antiquarian music store, wanting to buy a Mick
Jagger solo album. Unfortunately, I tripped, and the Jagger L. P. flew
out of my hand like a Frisbee and broke two records featuring Roger
McGuinn, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke.
Sadly, I had to pay. As he was collecting the damages, the owner said,
"You killed two Byrds with one Stone!" (Archives)

I was complaining the other day to a friend about the knot in m exasperated,
finally showed up at a meeting leading a female sheep. "If you don't
like my ideas," he snorted, "why don't you just make this sheep head of
council?" For I once they agreed with him. As one man, they rose to
their feet and sang, . . . "We only have ayes for ewe!" (Archives)

There was a show on TV when I was a kid called "You Asked for It."
People would write in asking to see something they were curious about,
and it would be filmed for the show. My uncle happened to be present
when a crew were filming San Francisco's Lombard Street for a viewer
request, and having an incredible series of SNAFU's and delays. He
remembered an exasperated director shouting, "Come on! Come on! Let's
get this road on the show!" (Daily Groaner)

A woman goes to this Dr Goldberg because she isn't feeling well. She
returns home crying. "What's wrong?", her husband asks. "The doctor
says I've got tuberculosis and I'm going to die yet". The husband calls
the doctor for confirmation of the diagnosis. He returns to the wife.
"Dear, you misunderstood. . . . The doctor said you have too big a
tochus and you've got to diet." (Tochus = Rump) (Gill Ross)

I own a pet parrot who is very friendly and talkative. I bought a
beautiful golden cage to keep him in. As I said, he is very friendly
and everyone loves him. Lately, however, his droppings have become
quite odoriferous. It had reached the point where you couldn?t walk in
the room without feeling nauseous. I tried various household solutions
to clean the cage, and get rid of the odors but none would work.
Finally the bird, himself, came up with the solution, I heard him
singing, "Ammonia a bird in a gilded cage" (Stan Kegel)

The mother tried dressing up foods to make them more attractive to her
child, but the four-year-old refused to eat almost everything. Finally
the mother hit on a scheme to use herbs and lay them out in the shape
of favorite story characters on top of the foods she served, and thus
tempt her child. Her first attempt--recreating William Tell, arrow and
all, out of rosemary--was a failure, and so was her second try, when
she shaped Miss Muffet's spider out of thyme. But at last she
succeeded: Realizing that her child was crazy for dogs, she created a
Pooh dill. (Cynthia MacGregor)

Little did the homophobic Neanderthal know that his locker-room
cat-calls directed toward Ben as a child would later inspire the young
lad when it came time to name the ointment the old guy now uses to
soothe his daily aches and pains. (Brad Simanek)

A 92 year-old man went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days
later, the doctor saw the man walking down the street with a gorgeous
young lady on his arm. A couple of days later, when the old man had an
appointment with the doctor again, the doctor said, "You're really
doing great, aren't you?" The man replied, "Just doing what you said
doctor, "Get a hot mama and be cheerful." The doctor said, "I didn't
say that! I said you have got a heart murmur. Be careful!" (Jeremy E.
Alperin)

A bunch of cows and bulls are standing in a field. A huge gust of wind
comes along and all the cows fall over, but the bulls just stand there,
bracing themselves against the gale. All the cows stand up and go back
to their chewing. Pretty soon, an even stronger wind blows through and
all of the cows are knocked to the ground, but the bulls just munch on
the grass. Next, a bona fide tornado comes through and all the cows are
knocked clean into the next pasture. The bulls just say, "Mooo..."
Finally, one of the cows walks up to one of the bulls and says, "Moo?
Is that all you can say? How come the wind always knocks us right over
and you just stand there?" "Isn't it obvious?" the bull replies "We
passed a book store and, being intrigued by a display in the window, he
went in and came home with a dog-eared book of poems. The point of my
story is: Never send a literary dog to the grocery store because he'll
get verse before he gets butter!" (By Carl Hess)

Long ago there was a kingdom where the King wore a brightly colored
vest instead of a crown. The vest was adorned with all different colors
of berries to make it beautiful. Maintaining this vest was difficult
because it needed freshening daily. In order to do this, his people
would go into the mountains with big nets. They would throw the nets
over the berry bushes, and snare the fresh berries for the King. The
people valued and honored this vest as the symbol of the throne. And so
it was a tragedy when one day the colors on the King's vest were fading
badly. The people were asked to bring in fresh berries, but there were
none to be had. The King looked very bad, so much so that he so he
issued this proclamation, "A reward will be paid for those who snare
enough to mend the berry vest." (Harry Tilden)

THE SHAGGY PUPPY STORIES

As a high school football coach, I'm aware that student athletes tend
to focus too much on sports. Bob, a fellow coach, was talking about one
such player, who called him at home one night. When his wife informed
the kid that Bob wasn't home, he became frantic and said he had to
speak to the coach right away. "Just calm down, and I'll have him call
you as soon as he gets home," the coach's wife told him. "What's your
number?" The flustered kid replied, "Three." (Douglas Helsel)

Two attorneys went into a diner and ordered two drinks. Then they
produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner
became quite concerned and marched over and told them, "You can't eat
your own sandwiches in here!" The attorneys looked at each other,
shrugged their shoulders, and then exchanged sandwiches. (Terry Galen)

My friend, Carolyn, was frustrated by how often her four-year-old son,
Brian, was getting dirty playing outside. At wit's end, she finally
said, "Brian, can't you play someplace where it's cleaner?" "If God
didn't want us to play in the dirt," Brian logically said, "why did he
make so much of it?" (Douglas Helsel)

Mr. Liebowitz, having grown fabulously wealthy, was set out to retire
and, for the purpose, had had built a huge mansion in exurbia.
Proudly, he displayed this house and all its glories to a party of old
friends. Finally, they arrived at the dining room, a chamber so large
that from one end, the other end appeared a hazy blue with distance.
Liebowitz pointed to the lovely mahogany table that ran the full length
of the room and said, "And in this one room, we can entertain, at one
time, as many as a hundred and twenty people -- G~d forbid." (Irene
Ariel Mystery)

Nancy was sometimes a very naughty seven year-old. On one of those
occasions, her mother tried to have a 'teachable moment' with her when
she said, "Don't you know that if you keep being so naughty, your
children will be naughty too?" Nancy started to giggle, louder and
louder. "And what is so funny, young lady?" the mother asked. "So what
did YOU do?!?" (Fun World)

His closest advisors came to visit Dubya at the White House one evening
and found him slamming down beers and whooping it up. They were
astonished since he had given up drinking years ago. When asked why he
was off the wagon, Dubya replied that he was celebrating finishing a
jigsaw puzzle. They smiled and told him that wasn't much of an
accomplishment. "Ah, but you're wrong. I did it in record time." When
asked what that record was, he replied that he had finished it after
only 6 months. Again, they told him that wasn't that great. " new department

"Why?" she asks.

her!"

I am a senior citizen.

During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job. I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.

Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change
for the worse. I lost my job. I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi
War. I lost my homes. I lost my health insurance. As a matter of fact I
lost virtually everything and became homeless.

Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like
an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.

I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat is
back in the White House come next year. Bush has to go.

I just thought you and your viewers would like to know how one senior
citizen views the Bush Administration. Thank you for taking time to read
my letter.


Sincerely,
Saddam Hussein

[arizona_humor] Cockroach conversation...

Two cockroaches decided to visit their favorite restaurant. While the larger of the two was enjoying his meal, the smaller one said, "You wouldn't believe the house I just left. It was spotless...the lady had to be a cleanaholic! Everything was immacualte...the sink, the counter, the floors! You couldn't find a crumb anywhere."

The other cockroach stopped his munching, looked with some annoyance at his companion, and said, "Do you have to talk like that while I'm eating?"

[arizona_humor] The painter...

FW: Tradesman.....There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in
making a dollar where he could. So he often would thin down his paint to
make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for
some time.

Eventually the local church decided to do a big restoration project. Jack
put in a painting bid and, because his price was so competitive, he got
the job. And so he started, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks,
and buying the paint and thinning it down with turpentine.

Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when
suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the
rain> poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church and knocking
Jack off the scaffold to land on the lawn.

Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he
fell on his knees and cried, "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"

And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke, "Repaint! Repaint! And thin no
more!"

[arizona_humor] power outage --- 4 all the women who need a good laugh

I know my memory's fading.�  I actually kept my mammogram appointment.�  I
chose a seat next to a man and his wife in the waiting room.�  Both the chairs
and
conversations were so comfortable that before long I'd totally forgotten why
I
was there and asked the man.�  "So...what are you here for?"


Talk about a show stopper.�  Dead silence, just as "Nurse Ratchet" announced
my name in her best baritone voice.�  I thought, "Great..a name to match the
idiot."


I rushed past the giggles and hurried after the angel of no mercy.�  Rounding
the corner, I was met with, "Hi! I'm Belinda!"�  This perky clipboard carrier
smiled from ear to ear, tilted her head to one side and crooned, "All I need
you to do is step into this room right hereee, strip to the waist, thennnn
slip
on this gown.�  Everything clearrrr?"


I'm thinking, "Belinda...try decaf.�  This ain't rocket science."�  Belinda
skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors.�  Call me crazy, but I suspect
a
man invented this machine.�  It takes a perfectly healthy cup size of 36-B to
a
size 38-LONG in less than 60 seconds.�  Also, girls aren't made of sugar and
spice and everything nice...it's Spandex.�  We can be stretched, pulled and
twisted over a cold 4-inch piece of square glass and still pop back into
shape.


With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and
said, "Hmmmm.�  Can you stand on your tippy toes and move in a tad so we can
get everything?"�  Fine, I answered.�  I was freezing, bruised and out of air,
so
why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and finish me off?


My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity when we heard, then
felt, "zap!"�  Complete darkness.�  "What?" I yelled. "Oh, maintenance is
working.� 
Bet they hit a snag."


Belinda headed for the door.�  "Excuse me!�  You're not leaving are you?" I
shouted.�  Belinda kept going and said, "Oh, you fussy puppy.... the door's
wide op
en so you'll have the emergency hall lights.�  I'll be righttttt backkkk!"


Before I could shout "NO!", she disappeared.�  And that's exactly how Bubba
and Earl, maintenance men extraordinaire, found me, half-naked and parts of
me
dangling from the Jaws of Life.�  After exchanging polite, "Hi, how's it
going,"
type greetings, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I
knew the power was off.


Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible.
"Uh, yes...yes, we did, thanks."


"You bet, take care," Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though we'd been
standing in the line at the grocery store.


Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin and making no
attempt to suppress her amusement, she said. "Oh, I am soooo sorry!�  The
power
came back on and I so totally forgot about you!�  And silly me, I went to
lunch.� 
Are we upset?"


And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the clamps...

[arizona_humor] crack pots

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots,each hung on the ends of
a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a in it
while the other pot was perfect
and always delivered a full portion of water.
  At the end of the long walk
from the stream to the house, the
cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily,
with the woman bringing home only one
and a half pots of water.
    Of course, the perfect pot was proud
of its accomplishments.
But the poor
cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and miserable that it
could only do half of what
it had been made to do.
    After 2 years of what it perceived to be
bitter failure, it spoke
to the woman one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this
crack in my side causes water to leak out
all the way back to your house."
    The old woman smiled,
"Did you notice that there are flowers on
your side of the path,
but not on the other pot's side?
That's because I have
always known about your flaw,
so I planted flower seeds on your side
of the path, and
every day while we walk back,
you water them." "For two years I have
been able to pick these beautiful flowers
to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are,
there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
    Each of us has our own unique flaw.
so it's the cracks and flaws we each
have that make our lives together
so very interesting and rewarding.
    You've just got to take each person
for what they are and look for
the good in them.
    To all of my crackpot friends,
have a great day and remember to smell
the flowers...

During a trial, in a small Missouri town, the local prosecuting
attorney called his first witness to the stand. She was sworn in, and asked
if she would tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
with her hand on the Bible, so help her God.

The witness was a proper, well-dressed, elderly lady. A grandmother
type, well spoken, and poised.

The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and asked, "Mrs. Jones,
do you know me?'"

She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you
since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to
me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people, and talk badly about
them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot, when you
haven't the sense to realize that you never will amount to anything more
than a two-bit paper-pushing shyster. Yes, I know you quite well."

The lawyer was stunned. He couldn't even think for a few moments.
Then he slowly backed away, fearing the looks on the judge and the jurors'
faces, not to mention the court reporter, who documented every word.

Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across t he room and asked,
"Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"

She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr.Bradley since he
was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and has a bad drinking problem.
The man can't build or keep a normal relationship with anyone, and his law
practice is one of the worst in the entire state. I might also mention, he
has cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him."

The defense attorney almost fainted, and was seen slipping downward
in his chair, looking at the floor.

Laughter, mixed with gasps, thundered throughout the courtroom, and
the audience was on the verge of chaos. At this point, the judge brought the
courtroom to silence.

Then he called both counselors to the bench, and in a very quiet
voice said, "If either of you morons asks her if she knows me, you're
going to jail."

[arizona_humor] Speedy Checkout!

It was a Saturday afternoon, and Ray had rushed down to the local
supermarket to hurriedly pick up some hamburger rolls, chips and a few
condiments. The big college game was going to be on, so he was having
a few
friends over to watch it.

The store was loaded with shoppers and as he headed for the six item
express
lane, the only one that didn't have a long line, a woman completely
ignoring
the overhead sign slipped into the check-out line just in front of him
pushing a cart piled high with groceries.

Ray was quietly fuming at the anticipated delay. But the elderly
cashier
beckoned the woman to come forward, looked into the cart and asked ever
so
sweetly, "So Dearie, which six items would you like to buy?"

CHINESE ???


Sid and Al, both Jews, were dining in a Chinese restaurant.

During their conversation Sid asked Al, "Are there any Jews in China?"

"I don't know," replied Al. "Why don't we ask our Chinese waiter?"

When the waiter came by, Al asked him, "Are there Chinese Jews?"

The waiter said, "I don't know, sir. Let me ask," and went into the kitchen.

He returned, a few minutes later, and said, "No, sir. No, Chinese Jews."

"Are you sure?" Al asked.

"I check, again, sir," replied the waiter and went back to the kitchen.

While he was gone, Sid said to Al, "I cannot believe there are no Jews in China. Our people are scattered everywhere."

At this point, the waiter returned, "Sir, no Chinese Jews."

"Are you really sure, man?" Al asked again. "I cannot believe there are no Chinese Jews."

Exasperated, the waiter frantically said, "Sir, I ask everyone! We have Apple Jews, Orange Jews, Tomato Jews, and Grape Jews. But no one hear of Chinese Jews!"
