Outside the Beltway

Yes, in Knoxville, TN, Church Avenue and State Street cross each other. The sign sits out in front of a Presbyterian church, just a block or two from the courthouse.

    Ew. No way I’m touching that bush. It’s probably got teeth in it.

    Does the young lady in yellow just to the left of the GWB sign qualify for “rack of the day”?

    What do you mean…. aren’t we protesting George, the neighborhood mongrel, digging up everybody’s gardenias? I’m at an pro-choice rally? But the sign still works? OK, then.

    In a desparate attempt at reverse psychology, Lonely Pam tried a new twist on the old “Don’t throw me in the briar patch” line.

    Emily did not realize how close to a solution to the abortion conflict she had inadvertantly come. If only she had chosen to keep Dick out of her Bush, instead of George, there would have been no need for a further choice.

    Millions of Americans watch with puzzled incredulity as thousands of protesters marched in Washington to maintain the status quo.

    I apologize in advance.

    In small letters under the sign ” Hey George, get out of my Bush” there appeared the line, “the hampsters don’t like to be crowded.”

    Proudly, Muffy waved her sign aloft. That expensive English Lit degree from Tufts had allowed her to express her views with an grace and economy of expression that did credit to her gender.

    Embarassed that she allowed her own sign to give her away, Martha had to admit to her friends after the rally that she had been too chicken to get the Brazian wax job as she had been bragging about.

    Frustrated at his girlfriend’s continued unfaithfulness with Mr. Costanza, Ted cast aside his embarrassment and began a very public campaign to win back his sweetheart.

    The crowd reacts while Susan Sarandon speaks.
    The woman in the pink hat waits to see if she says anything else.

    In the most deviously genius political strategy of all time, the National Organization for Women has devised a campaign slogan to make even the most ardent right wing heterosexual males join the ranks of the Hate-Bush crowd.

    Embarrased, the womyn in the pink hat looks away as her lover finishes digesting that bean burrito she had for breakfast!

    Sign, sign everywhere a sign
    Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
    Kill this, don’t kill that,
    Can’t you read the sign?

    Now, look here Missie! Doncha see?
    They had no abortion rights
    When you were a fetus
    You can’t even march, no you can’t eat,
    You’re not supposed to be here…
    And the Sign says
    You gotta have a NARAL card
    To get inside…
    Uh!

    The young man, like Clinton before him, is out of touch. The sign should read ‘Clinton.’ He is the only president who committed hanky panky between two Bushes.

    At a recent pro-abortion march in Washington D.C. one protester expresses her deep seated rage at her bush being neither selected or elected.

    Oh stop stop stop! I have had to clean off my monitor several times already in the best scrappleface tradition. Lessee if I can hold my own:

    Nope. Still laughing and tears and everything…

    One sign carrier seems to be confused about the difference between the ACT of conception versus where the pregnancy is located. Proof that Title Ten mandates have dumbed down yet another generation of womyn.

    To bring Laura’s outting to a head, Emily devised a clever phrasing to claim the first lady as her bitch.

    Rodney,
    I think there are some black helicopters coming to pick you up and some nice men at CNN (one of whom looks like Gollum) to talk to you…it has been nice knowing you.

    The inaudible single voice of Laura Bush, alone in the crowd, could not be heard chanting, “Push, Push. In The Bush!”

    Heh, when did Carville go to work for CNN?
