A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN
   
Joe gets up at 6 AM and fills his coffee pot with water to prepare
his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some
tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications
are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure
their safety and that they work as advertised.
   
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's
medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance -- now Joe gets it too.
   
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is
safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate
the meat packing industry.
   
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. The bottle is
properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total
contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know
what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
   
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he
breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for
laws to stop industries from polluting the air.
   
He walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride
to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and
transportation fees because some fancy pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a
contributor.
   
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay,
medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards.
   
Joe's employer pays the same standards because Joe's employer
doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or
becomes unemployed, he'll get a workers' compensation or
unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
   
Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay
some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because
some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous
conservative bankers who ruined the banking system before the
Great Depression.
   
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his
below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal
decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
   
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening
at his farm home in the country. He gets into his car for the drive. His
car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating
liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home.
   
His was the third generation to live in the house financed by
Farmer's Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural
loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government
liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired.
   
His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because
some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care
of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
   
Joe gets back into his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio
talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and
conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved
Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys
throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all I'm a self-made man who believes
everyone should take care of himself, just like I have."

Chicken salad, with barbecue sauce, served by a nude waitress.
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"


I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

I think you can leave away the salad and the sauce.
On second thought barbecue sauce sounds goood.

Some disturbed people prefer Sean Connery. Although I think it's for his voice, and I guess I can understand that. Sean Connery can narrate and do the actual asking :wink:

I don't find those men attractive.
Don't even know who most of them are, actually.
Only Brad Pitt and Hugh Grant ring a bell.....and they don't ring my bell, if you know what I mean.

Me, I liked the guy who played the Uruk-hai Captain in the Fellowship of the Ring.  He had a nice body.  And you know, there are incredible leaps of innovations happening in dentistry nowadays!
Amazing what can happen with a bar of soap and some veneers...

I would keep Alan Rickman, and Colin Firth on the list.  Strike Orlando Bloom, though - I mean, bad enough he played an elf, but he's a pansy in all his other movies, too.

And Rupert Everett, I think, is gay.  He'd appreciate the list more than he'd appreciate being ON the list, yeah.
Elves suck.
Yeah, I said it, I went there.  Whatcha gonna do?
