IVAN THE TERRIBLE, ET AL.

CLINTON AND THE ELECTION:

Who knew that Bill Clinton had one foot in the grave!

And the other on a Big Mac and large order of frys! Gosh. There but
for the grace of Ronald McDonald go I!

While Clinton may not be able to campaign for Kerry this year, as the
quintesstial BOOMER, Clinton may remind the vast boomer population of
the need to FIX HEALTH CARE NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

CLEARLY, KERRY IS THE ONE TO FIX HEALTH CARE, BUT EVEN HE HAS THE
MASSIVE HEALTH CARE LOBBY TO CONTENT WITH.

QUITE FRANKLY, HEALTH INSURANCE COSTS ARE KILLING THE AMERICAN
ECONOMY AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

Yet this notion of tax credits, which merely SUBSIDIZE THE EXISTING
DISASTER, are not the answer.

As Krugman said a few weeks ago A SINGLE PAYER PLAN IS THE WAY TO GO.

AND HEY, IF ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THOSE "NICE" CANADIANS, IT'S GOOD
ENOUGH FOR ME, AND PROBABLY YOU TOO!

BESIDES THE ENTIRE CIVILIZED WORLD HAS SINGLE PAYER PLANS, SO THIS
AIN'T LIKE WE HAVE TO "RE-INVENT THE INTERNET" HERE! THIS IS A "HARD
CHOICE" ONLY FOR THOSE IN KONGRESS WHO HAVE BEEN BRIBED BY THE BIG
PHARMA LOBBY! IN KONGRESS KASH IS KING!

SINGLE PAYER IS THE WAY TO GO! HOW MANY WILL DIE BEFORE BIG PHARMA
GETS OFF OUR BACKS, AND OUT OF OUR POCKETS!

IVAN THE TERRIBLE: THE WRATH OF GOD ON FLORIDA?

Who said SIN has no worldly consequences? Not me. As an
agnostic I don't tuned into the God Channel very often, (it's not in
my cable plan); but I ask ALL YOU SO-CALLED BORN AGAINS:

IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN FLORIDA NOT A SIGN FROM GOD THAT YOU SHOULD
VOTE DEMOCRATIC?

GOD SPEAKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. SOMETIMES. THIS TIME HE'S SHOUTING
IN YOUR EAR! REPENT! REPENT!

PUTIN'S PUT DOWN:

Putin had a few suggestions for Dubya and Co. INVITE OSAMA TO THE
WHITE HOUSE! AND NEGOTIATE!

GOD HELP US! THE IDEA OF NEGOTIATING HAS TO BE NIPPED IN THE BUD
QUICK!

Funny thing about PUTIN, DUBYA AND SHARON is they have a lot in
common. Consider

PUTIN AND DUBYA AND SHARON HAVE CITIZENS BEING KILLED EVERYDAY BY
RADICAL ISLAMISTS.

PUTIN AND DUBYA AND SHARON ARE OCCUPYING MUSLIM SOIL AND REFUSE TO
LEAVE.

WHAT'S GOOD FOR PUTIN SHOULD BE GOOD FOR DUBYA AND SHARON DON'T YA
THINK?

LOOK AT CHECHNYA, AND THE WEST BANK AND INCREASINGLY IRAQ. THEY ARE
ALL BOMBED OUT SHELLS!

PERHAPS WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT IT MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO DESTROY
CHECHNYA, THE WEST BANK, AND IRAQ---JUST TO "SAVE THEM?"

Ya suppose?

ADVISE TO KERRY:

OK. IT'S GETTING BETTER.

Now;

POLITICAL MAXIM #2:

TRY TO USE MORE HUMOR AT DUBYA'S EXPENSE.

HAS KERRY EVER TOLD A JOKE DURING THE CAMPAIGN SO FAR? I must've
missed it.

If Leno and Letterman can "do" Dubya Jokes EVERY NIGHT, SO CAN
KERRY!

IF YOU CAN MAKE DUBYA INTO A LAUGHING STOCK, (NOT HARD REALLY), YOU
WILL WIN.

And, since Dubya IS always a sort of "sick" joke. Really how hard
can this be?

Call Letterman's and Leno's writers, surely they can help with this.
It has to be done tactfullly and ONLY at the right time and place.

BUT HUMOR IS THE MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL WEAPON EVER DEVISED!

KNOW THIS, ONE JOKE IS WORTH A THOUSAND "POLICY STATEMENTS!" And one
joke can destroy a thousand policy statements in a nanosecond.

Come on,.....you can't think of even one Dubya or Cheney joke?

Then. Maybe you DON'T deserve to be president......because the rest
of us have no problem with DUBYA AND CHENEY JOKES.

Bush + Dick = ? Well, don't use that one.....at least not in public!

THE COMING 401K DEBACLE:

It's no secret that this notion that we are all going to retire on
our stock market winnings is rapidly falling out of favor. THIS
MAKES SOCIAL SECURITY MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER!

Of course the 401k has always seemed to me to be an scheme where you
save for the future; so you'll have the money, when you no longer
have the future.

What exactly are you supposed to do with your million dollars when
you're eighty years old? Take the bus to Canada to buy your pills?
I mean "clubbing" is clearly out of the question. Ya think?

THE ELDERLY RICH....HOW SAD REALLY. HOW AWFULLY SAD.

My plan: Die Broke. And, maybe also drunk....and in bed with someones wife. Now there's a plan I can relate to!
