1. Is that like their Mardi Gras? Blowout before Lent-type thing?

[lebkuchen]

3. Yep!

All the restaurants are decorated, and Sunday was the day of the parades.

2. Ze Germans are on our side.

[lebkuchen]

4. ...the side of basic common sense.

Bush lied his ass off, and he continues to do so.

Kerry "flip flop?" Let's go back as recently as Bush's SOU promise to create over 2 million jobs in the next 12 months. What happened to THAT grand scheme??

5. Float's Honker Puts Bill's To Shame

That Dubya float's out-sized nose puts the right-wing caricatures of former president Clinton's to shame. Glad to see that someone else is showing their skepticism regarding Dubya's foreign policy initiatives.

We should be so creative. Once upon a time, floats and caricatures were part of American political theater. Are progressives' political fortunes really better by their absence?

I don't think so.


B-) :party: :bounce:

9. Leberkase?

Lebkuchen is better. :)

10. Hm... die Leber gefaellt mir, und der kase gefaellt mir SEHR gut...

..aber "Leberkase?" Bist du verrueckt?

I do like gingerbread, but "liver cake" sounds delicious!

on edit: apologies in advance for spelling/grammar.

8. I liked the one last year that had their politician coming out of ....

...Uncle Sam's ass.
