BREAKING!!! Bush Guilty of War Crimes

This diary is a work of fiction.  People, places, bloggers, events and situations are the product of the diarist’s imagination.  Any resemblance to actual events is just goofy, and purely coincidental.

Booman City – George W. Bush, the 43 President of the United States, was convicted of war crimes yesterday by a unanimous verdict of 25 Booman jurors.  The conviction followed a day of whirlwind courtroom activity, and several twists of questionable legal validity, according to experts.

Prosecuting Attorney Ductape Fatwa, only recently returned from battling fascism in Indiana, began the proceedings with a bombshell, alleging that President Bush “lacked the intellectual capacity of a cement goat, of the style commonly used as garden decor in certain unfortunate neighborhoods.”

Brian Schweitzer and the DLC

Even though not being a Montana resident, I am a big Brian Schweitzer supporter and hope there is some politically viable way for him to be in the 2008 Democratic presidential mix.

Too Much Mother Love

Note the vacant simean stare that results from an immature brain. This poor specimen has only just become aware of his surroundings and has been damaged from an over-attentive mother.

And this young hamadryas baboon has had his hair licked off with some excessive tender loving care by his mother.

Reggie was born at Paignton Zoo, Devon, England three weeks ago, weighing 18oz (510g) with a normal covering of hair.

A zoo spokesman said: “Mostly they’re born hairy and stay hairy, but in this case the mother has been over-zealous.”

Phil Knowling added: “It will grow back and he will be fine, but he is a baboon curiosity at the moment.”

No information is available on whether the Washington chimp will recover but informed sources strongly doubt it.

Here’s your community…improved with poll!

People, people, people.  You don’t just DECIDE what a community is going to be.  A community develops when a bunch of different voices and faces from all over the world with varying personalities and experiences and beliefs get together in one place and communicate with each other.

You can decide what standards you are going to enforce (dont be a prick) and you can decide to cast out those that don’t toe the line….but real communities are fluid and dynamic and they develop a personality all their own, ON their own.

Let me tell you why I am here.
