BUSH AND KERRY AGREE: THE BORDERS MUST BE PROTECTED! | 2004-09-30

Near the beginning of the presidential debates, I heard words that shocked me so much that I almost woke up.

Senator Kerry said "the border must be protected." Bush agreed with him absolutely and raised him one. He replied, "The borders must be CLOSED."

Surely I wasa dreaming. They COULDN'T have said what I thought they said.

Well, they weren't. They were talking about IRAQ's borders.

I can understand that Bush and Kerry are vying for the position of Chief Flimflam man, but couldn't they at least be embarrassed by it.

And, unsurprisingly, both mentioned that it's the President's responsibility to seek security for Israel.

Job interviewers tend to ask about some things you might not want to discuss, like your attendance record -- and what you have accomplished in your present employment.

Well, John Kerry hasn't been at work a lot lately. He's been looking for another job...and, in twenty years in his present job, he hasn't accomplished anything significant, like sponsoring or co-sponsoring a bill. Where's the Kerry Act, the _____-Kerry Act, or the Kerry-___ Act?

Why should we hire you, John?
