So, it's OK to laugh when some guy bounces himself off a trampoline and into his backyard grill?

And it's OK to laugh at a guy who, having just finished holding up a convenience store, fumbles while placing his gun into his pocket, and winds up shooting one of his testicles clean off? (that happened yesterday!)

But it's NOT OK to laugh at seven college graduates that strap themselves onto the top of several tanks filled with explosive fuel and liquid oxygen, aim the contraption at outer space, and then proceed to spread themselves thinly over several large Western states all while on TV?

That's gotta' top anything Wile E. Coyote ever dreamed up.

From the standpoint of average people of the day, the Titanic disaster wasn't so bad: Hundreds of the high-fallutin' were sold tickets on a "non-sinkable" ship that seemed almost eager to break in half in cold water.

Imagine that this morning hundreds of today's high-and-mighty boarded a new type of jet airliner that had been touted as being "non-crashable." The list of passengers included:

Donald Trump (and his hair stylist)
Vince McMahon
Prince Frederick von Anhalt
Paris Hilton
Vice President Cheney
Tavis Smiley
Martha Stewart
Billy Mays
Britney Spears
OJ Simpson
Mitt Romney
the Geico Gecko
Al Sharpton
Tom Cruise
Hillary Clinton
Simon Cowell
Lou Dobbs
Bill Gates
the Mac guy
the entire British Royal Family
Mel Gibson
the guy responsible for all the "Head on!" TV commercials.
Wolf Blitzer
Bill Richardson
Paris Hilton's mother
Osama Bin Laden
and Katie Couric




"BREAKING NEWS! CNN has learned that on it's maiden voyage, a Titanic Airways jet has crashed into the Rock of Gibralter. Aviation authorities claim that the weather was unusually clear and that visibility was at least 22 miles. There was just one survivor among the 352 passengers on the "non-crashable" airplane. While being put on a stretcher, the single survivor of the tragedy was heard repeating, "Head On! Apply directly where it hurts. Head On! Apply directly where it hurts. Head On! Apply directly where it hurts." The man later died while attempting to retrieve a small bottle in his pocket.

That's why I didn't put Bush on the plane; then we would get stuck with Cheney (possibly even worse than Bush)

But if you Gibralter-ize Cheney, that might make some Oswald-style political activist think that Pelosi is a good solution to the Bush problem.

I'm being a tiny bit vague here, not wanting to have the Secret Service ringing my doorbell.

Too bad Richardson wasn't able to hold on until the New Mexico primary. It would have been worth the wait just to see the look on his face when he found out that only 17 New Mexicans (his family) voted for him. If Even if Richardson had the word "Loser" tatooed on his forehead, he would not have appeared more ridiculous running for national office. I'm having trouble imagining how bad Denisch must be, but I'll take your word for it.
