Bush Gaffe Results in Aid for the Homely
"I swear he does this shit on purpose" says Hillary
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Hey, what are you lookin' at?

Though caused by what some called "a tragic inability to speak English"... there has been scattered support for the presidents announcement. "This is the guy we've been waiting for" said David Letterman, flanked by a smiling Jay Lenno. A poll of Dmoz editors indicated particular enthusiasm on the part of Wheresmysocks, who said "I'm glad someone has finally recognized our needs". The flap is reminiscent of the brouhaha surrounding the brief detention of boxer Muhammed Ali on terrorism charges after a slight mis-statement by the president.


FAILING Every Time You Try to Edit?
Here are some classic words of inspiration from www.despair.com to help you hold that thought. 

Oh well, could be worse, at least the annual staff isn't here taking pictures.

FAILURE

 

When your best just isn't good enough

You sure they aren't here, Rags?

STUPIDITY

 

Quitters never win, Winners never quit,
but those who never win and still never quit are just idiots

Sure I am Spectre, they said they weren't coming on this trip.  

INEPTITUDE

If you can't learn to do something well,
learn to enjoy doing it poorly

Well, they'll never find us anyway... those dorks are clueless. DESPAIR

 

It is always darkest just before it goes black

Tell me about it. I have a 6th sense... I can SMELL a camera.  

PROCRASTINATION

Sure, hard work pays off after time... but laziness pays off right now

I can't smell much of anything... I think I need a shower.  LOSING

 

If at first you don't succeed, maybe failure's just your style

I'll pass on the shower. Remind me not to let Suz book my cruise again. MISTAKES

 

Could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others
