Will Durst’s column

In a likely infringement of copyright, I just had to post this article by Will Durst of 23/6 (Some of the News, Most of the Time):

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

Will Durst

•
60% of Europeans believe American foreign policy will get better after
George Bush leaves office. About 39% less than what Americans believe.

• Gays will be allowed to marry in California this week, and some of
the biggest celebrations will be going on in the offices of California
divorce lawyers.

• Midwestern towns continue to be ravaged by floodwaters. But FEMA is on the job. They’re probably sending ice.

• President Bush is traveling in Europe talking up the dollar.
What’s his sales pitch? “The best part is you can get a whole bunch of
them for almost nothing.”

• Another 8 months of Bush’s economic policy and Mexico will have to
build a wall to keep American workers from crossing their border.

• The longer the campaign goes on, the more John McCain looks like Yoda with a tie.

• In Minnesota, the Democratic Party endorsed comedian Al Franken as
its U.S. Senate candidate. A comic leaving show business to enter
Congress. Might just raise the level of discourse in both worlds.

• Senator McCain accused Senator Obama of a foolish willingness to
sit down and negotiate with enemies. Does that mean he’s scheduled
lunch with Senator Clinton?

• The best thing about John McCain’s campaign is that when history starts repeating itself, he will be the first to know.

• In his book, former Bush Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, says he
was left out in the dark. You know what, Scott–us too. But you were
standing next to the light switch.

• In their never-ending quest to add revenue, airlines have started
charging for every checked bag. Next: coin operated bathrooms. Then,
seat belts priced by the inch.

• Gas prices have caused SUV sales to drop like an anvil in a
vertical zinc mine. Got to feel bad for Hummer drivers. Now they have
to find another way to make up for the miniscule nature of their
manhood.
