Bush Explains Medicare Drug Bill


WOMAN IN AUDIENCE:

"I don't really understand. How is the new plan going to fix the problem?"
VERBATIM response of PRESIDENT BUSH:

"Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to that has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, supposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red."

Please forward this to others... so they, too, can understand.

Surfs Up...

Dogs, wouldn't it be something if all your friends were this cool and loyal??

Thanks Reader Tim, still funny, the story that is

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it

is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which

almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote "The

Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part

for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg
in.

And then the trouble started.

Have it your way...

Enough already.

Burger King, the broke back mountain version of fast food, has gotten even weirder.

The dude in the king outfit was odd enough.

The musical number with the dancing lettuce, tomatoes and so on, a bit out there as well.

And now we have the big "Bucking Chicken" ad.

Here we have a cowboy riding a dude in a chicken costume. The slogan on this one being, "the only way to beat it is to eat it".

Burger King even has a web page (http://www.subservientchicken.com)where you can dress up your subservient chicken and order it about. The chicken comes dressed in garters in various poses for you to manipulate. Makes you want to rush right down to the local BK and order up some.

What am I missing?

Man talk about one of your odder British Invasions.
