| Master Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Oh, boy. That is funny... Even the Star Wars parody. Which, both as a fan of Star Wars and of Hillary Clinton... yeah... It's interesting when you're confronted with just how far your sense of humour won't go. ![]() __________________ Sunny "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." avie by Jessie | |||

| Administrator ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Jessie, those videos were great! You know what I think of the JFK one, and the Star Wars parody was hilarious! I especially liked them showing Bill Clinton as the Emperor! ![]() __________________ When I think of President Kennedy, I think of what Shakespeare said in Romeo and Juliet: When he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine, That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no worship to the garish sun. Robert F. Kennedy’s eulogy to John F. Kennedy at the 1964 Democratic National Convention | |||

| Moderator Manager ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | love that!New York Times had a funny slide show: Analysis of Campaign Logos and How They Influence Opinions (PICS) And since Jessie's world revolves around this man, some of my fav Funny JFK quotes: "Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House." "I do not think it entirely inappropriate to introduce myself to this audience. I am the man who accompanied Jacqeline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it." (While saying goodbye to his hosts after Jacqueline had charmed all of France including De Gaulle with her fluent French on their visit to France.) "I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy - "Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide." "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." (at a dinner honoring Nobel Prize winners of the Western Hemisphere, the White House, April 29, 1962) "Look at that, I have a total fiasco and my poll ratings go up. What am I going to do to get them up further?" "It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat." (answering a little boy on how he became a war hero) "Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process" "Khrushchev reminds me of the tiger hunter who has picked a place on the wall to hang the tiger's skin long before he has caught the tiger. This tiger has other ideas." __________________ - Jessie "Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand. What you've been up there searching for forever is in your hands.

| Master Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Awesome, awesome, awesome. I mean no disrespect when I say this, because I (of course) have great admiration for JFK... but I didn't know he had such a great sense of humour. Intelligence, dignity, courage... yes. But I love that he had a great sense of humour, too! __________________ Sunny "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." avie by Jessie | |||

I hope those business croonies apologize to the people of Overtown for taking away the money promised to improve their area and choosing to use it elsewhere to make their pockets fatter.__________________ Get Your Daily Feed At the News & Politics Board today! ![]() HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY & HAPPY NEW YEAR | |||

| Elite Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Jen , that was so funny! When I think about how possibly all the other countries are laughing at our economic misfortune and taking advantage of our weak dollar status. They're probably thinking we deserve it and they're right.__________________ Get Your Daily Feed At the News & Politics Board today! ![]() HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY & HAPPY NEW YEAR | |||
