Well, that water just got considerably hotter


Are you already adjusting your thinking and adapting to the increased heat - telling yourself if you can just put up with the heat a little longer, you can do something about it later?

10. You're wanted. After today, everyone who disagrees
with the Bush Regime is probably "wanted"

:)

Just looking on the bright side

2. One frog
looks over to the other and says, "Hey Kermit things just seem to get hotter in here to you?" Other frog says, "Yea, but don't worry that's just politics."

Both frogs died.

9. We could always jump out of the pot
but the water is so pleasant once you get used to it...filled with lots of goodies to take our minds off our troubles

3. When they got away
with the selection they started the fire and they have been slowly cranking it since then.

Later has already happened.

11. "Later has already happened"
But hey, not to worry...
The DEMOCRATS are going to save us...
:sarcasm:

Never mind all the discussions on DU about
the voting fraud.

The disconnect is astounding.
Truly.

18. He gets to Decide what is legal, what is not.
Isn't interpreting the law what the judicial branch is supposed to do?

17. Ribbit. Ribbit. How'd it get so fucking hot!!!
The French and Mexican frogs got out of the pot, and tossed the water back at their tormentors. The American frog just sits in the pot, with a vacant smile on its face.

19. We could do that - if enough frogs recognized that it's not
those turning up the heat causing our death...it's us. Just sitting there. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting for "later"
