Bush and Kerry did WHAT?!

I must be tired. I swear I didn't see the word "on" when I first read this headline:

Bush and Kerry trade blows on jobs

That is all.

Eww.

Heh...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who did a triple-take with that one.

There must be something going around. Not an hour ago I misread

Four killed in Israeli incursion

as "Four killed in Israeli circumcision".

I was thinking, sheesh, did the mohel use a chainsaw or something?

This sounds like an EXCELLENT way to decide the next president.

BUSH: "My fellow Americans, at 10:30 this morning, I sucked Senator Kerry's dick, and it tasted good. I have decided to step down from the office of the Presidency... and will someone hand me a towel? I still got some Kerry juice on my chin."

It's funny. I could totally hear Dubya's voice in my head while I read this.

Probably something like, "Man, I am so sick of this campaign business. I wish there was some way to make fun of these two losers. Oh wait...."
