Politics and religion.

There once was a senator from Nantucket.
When it came to taxes he said, "Forget it".
He just cannot be trusted
for non-paid taxes he was busted.
And the payment? no, he won't buck it......

Well, maybe if he was FROM Nantucket ... but of course he was born in Brookline, has offices in Boston, Fall River and Springfield, MA - as well as Washington, DC. Boneheaded, sure - from Nantucket, no. Ask any Nantucket native - "Summer folks" are not real Nantucket people.

1) He's not a Nantucket person. He doesn't make his living off of the ocean.

2) This Yacht falls under the same heading as his brownstone in Bahstin. Complete and total disconnect with reality. He bought it, and decided he didn't like the fire hydrant in from of it, and had the City of Bastin move it at their expense.

Just think, Sen. Kerry was almost our President!

New York's primary is in September. The primary in 2001 was Sept. 11.

Well, finished my poem, actually it a limerick, my first.

There once was a guy named puck
who went for a ride in his truck
got hopelessly stuck in the mire & muck
and missed bringing home a big buck
Just no luck, poor, poor puck

I want my royalties.

For those puzzled how politicians get into power (and often stay there amidst the ruins), when their irrefutable track record is that they bankrupt govt at every level they "rule" over, every time they get into power, here is the answer.

-----Lesson from an actual scientific experiment

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go
to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold
water. After a while, another monkey makes the attempt with same result,
all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and
attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new
one.

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,
then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is
attacked.

Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not
permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating
of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of
the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water.

Nevertheless, No monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the
banana.

Why not?

Because as far as they know that is the way it has always been done around
here.

And that, my fellow monkeys, is how politicians operate....

THEREFORE, WE HAVE TO GET RID OF ALL THE INCUMBENT MONKEYS SO THERE WILL BE A NEW APPROACH TO GETTING THE BANANA'S

Cliff notes please?

As Arte Johnson used to say....... Very interesting. I'll have to think about this.
