Monday, June 26. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:


"His jest will savor but of shallow wit
When thousands weep more than did laugh at it."

Henry V, Act I, Scene 2, Lines 295-296.

5. Sorry, all you late-Monday-morningers.
I'm working a long shift today, so I guess I got an early start. My apologies.

Anyway, found it at Google Images under "Bush WMD's joke "

Not very funny, I agree...

3. Good morning to you, my dear Aristus!
Here's ONE of your fans!

The picture is a little dark......it's Bush, right? Being funny?

Well, at least he thought it was funny......

It is an excellent match! I just wish the pic were a bit lighter!

Keep 'em coming, babe! :hug:

6. Yeah, at the Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner last year.
Boy that Bush is a laff-riot.


I hope they're keeping Hell hot for him, just for that one. :grr:

7. Nostradamus had nothing on this guy Shakespeare.
Eerily prescient how he described these 21st Century plagues.

8. Hi, swimboy!
Well, when you think about it, Shakespeare wrote many, many plays about political intrigue, deception, divisiveness, backstabbing, smearing, lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, plotting coupes, insurrections and rebellions, etc. etc.

In thirty-seven plays, the shortest of which still takes over two hours to perform, you know there's gonna be a lot of good material for the kind of thing I'm doing.
