THIS IS NOT A POEM - I LIED!

WHY? BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE HERE READ MORE POETRY THAN OTHER STUFF!

HUMOR? OR HORROR? OR BOTH?

YOU DECIDE!

OH! THE PIC? REAR VIEW OF MT. RUSHMORE!

ARCHAIC APHORISMS

© - Tom Hyland - 01-29-09

A Bird in the Hand is better than a WMD hidden in a BUSH!

If at First you don’t Succeed, have your Brother Rig the Election Returns!

Don’t like the Constitution? Change it - by Executive Order!

Habeas Corpus? What’s that? I don’t know no Latin!



My English ain’t real good either! Valedictorian I’m not!

Blood for Oil? You got to be Kiddin’ - Right?

Haliburton does What? For How Much? WOW! I didn’t know that!

Tell me again - Dick, you SHOT Who?



Yeah? Well, my Dad didn’t get Him - I Did! So There!

Screw the Geneva Convention! It’s NOT Torture!

I had FUN when I was a ‘Fly Boy’ in the Air Force Reserves - When I WENT!

Management Skills? Just look at My Oil Companies’ Failures!



The History Book will Prove I was Right - the One I Write!

A Cherubic Smile and a “S**t-Eatin’ Grin” - what more does a C-I-C need?

Civilian Casualties? OOPS! That’s just Collateral Damages!

Electricity in Baghdad? Heck, we’ve only been workin’ on it for FIVE Years!



MY CLAIM TO FAME?

CRAIG FERGUSON’S PRESIDENTIAL QUOTES!



ARCHAIC - no longer useful or efficient.

APHORISM - a succinct statement expressing
An opinion or a general truth.

I don't know all your strange words Tom, yet I understood every one of them ha, sort of lyrical, sort of music to my ears, sort of the truth, poetry to me. Bless You! Jasmin Horst

Just try saying "archaic aphorism" ten times without stopping. It will come close to listening to a #43 speech.

Cheers and Peace,
Dan
