"The Idiot's Guide to Great Britain". This is hilarious.
\_ i don't think it's funny. and i really hate bush.
\_ just out of curiousity, do you personally know of anyone
who likes Bush, supports his policies, and want him to
be re-elected again? I know many many people and I don't
know of anyone who likes him. Maybe it's a California
thing or something but I'm just curious.
\_ He lost CA in 2000 by a few percent. It isn't Bush, it
is the people you know. When you're a carpenter and you
hang out with other carpenters and don't do anything but
work wood and go to carpenter meetings, you'll think
everyone is a carpenter even though you know many many
carpenters.
\_ 12 is more than "a few." Bush only got 41% statewide.
But is it probably more a matter of which county you
are in. In Alameda County Bush got 24%, in SF even
less.
\_ I didn't have the numbers handy. 12. That's fine.
With 41% that means 4 of your 10 friends should be
Bush supporters. If all your friends are in
Alameda then 1 in 4 should be. You're a carpenter.
It's ok. Just keep going to the carpenter union
meetings and working wood. Or maybe your
\_ Huh huh. You told him to keep working wood.

conservative friends don't tell you because they
don't want to hear you go off on how stupid/evil/
whatever Bush is because politics can kill friend-
ships and they value your friendship more than your
politics. I gently and politely correct my leftist
friends when they start frothing but they all think
I'm a socialist just like them. I don't want to
lose them as friends even if they're confused and
ignorant about the world in some ways.

BE FUNNY!
This isn't. Concept: 3.0 because it's so done. Execution: 1 only
because he actually gets #9 correct and #3 is so-so for those who
give a shit about "The Royals". |
