And this time I RAISED the price.

Speaking of selling and buying, it's clear to anyone with half a brain in their head that America's very own historic heirloom, the White House, is also up for sale -- and has been for sale to the highest bidder ever since the 2000 election when GWB first Shopped Victoriously and purchased it on the cheap from the Supreme Court.

But as a newly-blooded veteran of the eBay wars, I have another suggestion. Let's give phony Diebold elections and jury-rigged Supreme Court decisions the boot and just put the White House up for sale on eBay instead. And here are the rules: Every bidder must be a citizen. Every citizen can only bid once. And no bid can be over $5.

Since most of the candidates running for president these days (except of course for Dennis Kucinich -- and possibly Richardson, Edwards, Biden, Dodd and Paul) are obviously insincere corporate sell-outs with no commitment at all to America's values and the American middle class, let's stop sending money to their campaign coffers -- which will only to be used against us once they scoop up our priceless White House at fire-sale prices -- and use our money to buy back the White House for AMERICA instead!"

2008 -- this is the year that AMERICA needs to Shop Victoriously.

SWORD

So you are keeping the sword. I hope you don't decide to use it, and don't carry it on the plane. Bad idea. How many notches?

I won't carry it on the plane, honest...

Thanks for my first big laugh of 2008! And as far as I can tell, there are approximately 16 notches on the sword handle thingie. Some of them are a bit wishy-washy. What does THAT mean? That the guy had bad aim? Never mind. I promise that I will only use this sword for GOOd from now on.

Luv ya

Jane, we love you for your rapier wit, but, please, don't slice off a body part. Be careful. It's kinda hard to put a bra on, comb your hair, or smak an idjut upside the head if u only have one arm.
