Oh yeah, it got re-run after Reagan was shot too, the curse of the 1980 election year ending in zero- or something like that.

That's an outstanding photo-shop .. is it yours?
ReplyDeleteDon't miss the Dead Kennedy's logo on the back wall....
ReplyDeletePrior to WWII the anti-war idiots refused to do anything meaningful about Hitler.
ReplyDeleteToday, the anti-war idiots refuse to do anything meaningful about Ahmadinejad.
Jest goes to show that history does repeat itself.
...and come to think of it; Lee Harvey Oswald does a little like Eric Reed Boucher (aka. Jello Biafra).
ReplyDeleteCoincidence???
If I've seen this one before, it's been a long while - and I certainly don't remember the kickers!! Were those penned by yourself Rodger? Very funny at any rate.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anon, that photo-shop is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, do you know the difference between the Rolling Stones and an Irishman? The Rolling Stones say 'hey you get off of my cloud' and the Irishman says 'hey mc cloud get off of my ewe.'
ReplyDeleteNot my PS .. way over my head.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I feel as though I had read all of that a looong time ago, probably in the early days of proliferation of the Internet, but still...packs a huge wallop no matter how many times one reads it.
ReplyDeleteThat photo has been around along time. And it is still one of the best.
