With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected Governor of Texas.

I set the record for the most executions by any Governor in American history.
With the help of my brother, the Governor of Florida, and my father’s appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history. My political party used the Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

Kill Bill Yello Jump Suit

After catching Kill Bill with engel he was wondering why The Bride was wearing the yellow jumpsuit. Seems to be a reference to Bruce Lee Game Of Death Jumpsuit. Oh, and you can order one for yourself.
