CORRECTION: I inadvertently reported that our NSA and CIA "intelligence" professionals were talking about "anal bleaching" in government checks while on the taxpayers' dime. In fact, they were discussing "butthole lasers."
"Butthole lasers" may be used for anal bleaching, but also for anal fistulas.

Laser treatments for the anus and rectum can be used for a variety of conditions, including hemorrhoids, fissures, and fistulas. Laser treatments can also be used for hair removal and anal bleaching.

I apologize to all "intelligence" professionals I maligned. I regret the error and vow to do better in the future.

I think we can all agree that's what we're all looking for in a Commander in Chief. When our nation's security is on the line, we're all looking for someone who smells of wood-chips and rodent-urine. Thanks to Andunie, who also provides a compilation of nicknames for John Kerry. He seems to have missed Senator Splunge and The Boston Fog Machine, however. posted by Ace at 05:42 PM Comments Why don't we just get him a big plastic ball, stuff him in there, and let him roll his ass across the floor? It'd be far more entertaining to see. Posted by: Da Goddess on June 15, 2004 06:05 PM Actually, your Splunge! is at #2. I just forgot the honorific. But yeah, I did miss The Boston Fog Machine. Posted by: Anthony Perez-Miller on June 15, 2004 06:06 PM I have it on good authority that caged hamsters make good executive decision makers. Posted by: rdbrewer on June 15, 2004 06:26 PM As I wrote on another thread, the quote that jumped out at me from this asinine piece of shit article in the NYT was that the Caged Hamster, who, by the way, served in Vietnam, spends his time on the campaign jet strumming a guitar and is just now "learning a new (old) song, 'This Land is Your Land.'" Doesn't this strike anyone as odd? How can anyone not know this song? I hear that JFKerry was in bands in his college days playing bass and guitar. He's just now figuring out the three chords and a line or two to a song that's been around for 75 years? Can this really be true or is this dipwad reporter expecting us to believe this attempt at limning out Kerry as "just-a-regular-guy-with-a-soft-spot-for-sentimental-patriotic-chestnuts?" The entire article is unbelievable bullshit; pablum served up to the credulous. Unintentional comic gold.
