The was by a hateful "democrat." I took out the worst parts.

How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to replace a light bulb?


The answer is TEN:

3. one to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb,

4. ONE TO TELL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD THAT THEY ARE EITHER FOR CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB OR FOR DARKNESS

5. one to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Haliburton for the new light bulb,

6. ONE TO ARRANGE A PHOTOGRAPH OF BUSH, DRESSED AS A JANITOR, STANDING ON A STEP LADDER UNDER THE BANNER "LIGHT BULB CHANGE ACCOMPLISHED,"

The rest were just hateful and didn't make sense. The democrats, of course, are just hateful and don't make sense.

I left in 4, because it seems obvious to me that those nations of the world opposed to changing the lightbulb are either for darkness, or are truly for Bush changing their damnned lightbulb, and this is a very good allegory.

I left in 3, not because it was Clinton's fault, but because this is also reasonable. It wasn't Clinton's fault that the light bulb burned out, but he is blamed because he could've changed it earlier. It's sorta like Bin Laden. Clinton coulda killed him, but he didn't. I say Clinton might've even been right, but the "democrats" will have ignored me before I got to that point.

I left in 6, because Bush would get the job done, and then politic it.

SAVE THE WORLD FOR DEMOCRACY! VOTE AGAINST A DEMOCRAT!

In other news, I've been compulsively checking the shipping progress of my equipment. 8 minutes ago it arrived in Cincinnati. I expect UPS to make a delivery attempt tomorrow while I'm at work.

Today USPS made a delivery attempt while I was at work and left an illegible note about it. I think it said that I should pick it up tomorrow morning at the Post Office, but wasn't sure. I, compuslively, went to the post office immediately without showering. Sure enough, it was still on the truck somewhere, and not at the post office. I'll get that tomorrow come Hell or Highwater.

On Saturday, I'll have 25 new pairs of mallets and a few other toys, much overdue. I've also sought permission to use a high school music room in which to teach private lessons. Within a few weeks I'll get a word on that, and hopefully the students will follow. I'm becoming a credible percussion teacher. This makes me happy.
