Well I guess I'd better get in on all the V.P. madness that's going around...will it be Tom Ridge or Joe LIEberman as some suggest? I hope not, both those two are deal breakers for me. Unequivically. On the Democrats side could it be Joe Biden like the media is professing?

In My Morning Mail: What are we so unhappy about?

Personally, I don't think David Letterman wrote this. I think letterman is somewhat of an idiot and not capable of logical thinking. I know the last line is from Jay Leno, not letterman. I am forwarding this because I agree with it, not because I think David Letermen wrote it.
Mike Hulsey

David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see...

As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.

The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?

The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?''

I read in the newspaper a few days ago that two guys found a BIGFOOT body and would not show it to anyone. They are keeping it in a refrigerator for safe keeping until they can make some money with it.

I thought to myself Yea Right! Well it looks like it is a true story. The two guys are a police and correctional officer. They found the body in the woods of northern Georgia and have stated they have seen a pack of them.
