Well, FINALLY a REAL one we all can get behind….and is Homer on the trail for her…or just Bart ? Have a good 4th everyone…safe and peaceful….( not a Simpson 4th..)

Woo-hoo!

A refreshing change from Krusty the President and Sideshow Dick .

Typical, no mention of Gore’s son getting busted for drugs. If it were a (R)’s son or daughter, you guy’s would be all over it.

Hi folks.
The internet just became pay per view.

The enlightenment is over.
The first romantic movement since the 60’s is dead.
The internet is history.
Happy 4th.

She couldn’t do any worse.

“[O]ur Nation is founded on the principle that the observance of law is the eternal safeguard of liberty, and defiance of the law is the surest road to tyranny. The law which we obey includes the final rulings of the courts, as well as the enactments of our legislative bodies. Even among law-abiding men few laws are universally loved, but they are universally respected and not resisted.

“Americans are free, in short, to disagree with the law but not to disobey it. For in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent of powerful, and no mob, however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law. If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men by force or threat of force could long defy the commands of our court and our Constitution, then no law would stand free from doubt, no judge would be sure of his writ, and no citizen would be safe from his neighbors.”

John F Kennedy, Sept. 30, 1962

Here is a poll question I would think would be interesting to ask every July 4

All other factors being equal, is a potential spouse with Canadian citizenship more appealing than one without?

If so, how much on a scale of 1 (very little) to 5 (very much) ?

Speaker of the House Lisa Simpson would put impeachment on the table!

Make that President Barney Gumble and Vice President Montgomery Burns.

I’ll listen after an apology for bad mouthing President Carter.

Sorry Lisa but Homer has my vote unless Gore runs…although you will probably running things if Homer wins because he would be to bizy handling all the scandals Bart is bound to creat.

I’m sure the Montgomery Burns campaign is already working on some smear tactics.

And who could be worse than Monty Burns?

Hank Scorpio. That’s who.

What is her home state?!?!?!? lol.

Rilly. Remember when Lisa went to Washington and met that nice George HW Bush?

Lisa was duped. Liked the time she changed her star spangled essay to what a cess pool of a swamp DC is after she witnessed that politician…no doubt a Republican..take a bribe in exchange for his vote to cut down the forests for the timber industry.

Perhaps we will see in some future episode how Lisa blows the lid off the Bush crime family and in the process saves Springfield from nukular annihilation…Matt Groening, are you listening???

But she was, is and always will- at 8 years of age- ineligible.

Unless, of course, we amend that Constitution.

IIRC, she didn’t meet HW in DC- HW and the Dragon Lady moved in across the street.

Pshaw! It’s just a goddamn piece of paper anyway, right?

;-)

The American people will never elect a YELLOW person ;-)

Would Lisa nominate Dora the Explorer as her Secretary of State? Would she appoint Dr. Benton C. Quest be tapped to head the National Security Advisor(be ready for questions about Dr. Quest’s “relationship” with a certain Race Bannon)?

Understand, it’s been a looooong day.

Many, many thanks to all of you supporting Lisa for President.

As a member of Team Lisa, I have firm belief of Lisa Simpson’s ability to lawfully and effectively govern our country. But first we need your help drafting her.

We need to gather 10,000 signatures by Saturday to convince Lisa to run. Please help us out!

…how about an episode where Lisa intercepts emails from representative Mark Foley to Bart?

Boring. This is his second time. But I suppose we could compare him to Bush’s daughters. And how about dad and his cocaine fun.

Now. Let the smearing of Gore’s son begin - I’m ready.

Bill Janklow’s case caused one of the biggest flame wars I’ve ever seen. And it was a small site-no modding.

Good times :)

Rush? You mean the guy that took so much Oxycontin he went deaf?

NBC News with Lester Holt threw in a snide note about how Al jr was driving an environmentally sensitive car. Like that anything to do with anything besides their obsession with ridiculing Gore.

I hope he gets some help. From the AP: “A search of the car found marijuana and prescription drugs Vicodin, Valium, Xanax and Adderall.” Just in case anyone doesn’t know, please be careful taking prescription drugs. Taking all four of these at the same time would be just about lethal.

Looks like the fortunate son is living the Hilton lifestyle. He’s got a previous DUI too. I’d imagine Al and Tipper are worried sick.

Something I recently came across, the sad fact is that the right would no doubt really react the way this article portrays;
