Isn't it ironic?
Edited on Wed May-31-06 04:39 PM by ck4829
Isn't it ironic that Bush is talking about spreading democracy and freedom, but yet the President from 1988-1992, our current President, and a possible contender for President in 2008 are all from the same family?

Kind of odd, don't you think?

We're spreading 'freedom' by gunpoint, but WE have had an Aristocratic family be in charge of the US for 10 of the last 18 years.

1. And after the 2000 election,
it's hard to say that we practice Democracy here as well.

2. The problem is we voted for Reagan and Bush Sr.

And Gore finally acquiesced in '00 and Kerry in '04

3. No, it's just stupid.
Ironic would be 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

6. I always wondered about that one....
wouldn't rain on your wedding day be more ironic if your beloved looked up and drowned?

7. Some guy on NPR once went through the list one by one.
According to him, technically none of them were ironic. I don't know why I remember anything about it.

8. Perhaps because the OP missed the meaning of irony as well?

9. It's ironic that a song called ironic
isn't the least bit ironic!
