Welcome to Gilead
“It was after the catastrophe, when they shot the president and machine-gunned the Congress and the army declared a state of emergency. They blamed it on the Islamic fanatics, at the time.”

What are the odds
that this cigar was a Cuban too?

A couple of years ago, Tom DeLay was chomping on a cigar at a Washington restaurant with some lobbyists. The manager went over to tell him he couldn't smoke because the restaurant was on property leased from the federal government, which bars smoking.

"I am the federal government," DeLay replied, in words that will follow the one-time exterminator from Sugar Land, Texas, like ants at a picnic.

What an arrogant prick.
