Since President Bush seems to think that taunting can work fighting the Iraqis, why not try it on the home front?

Hey, Congress, go ahead and stop giving additional tax breaks to the rich so that I won't have to pony up more. I dare you.

Yo, Kenny Lay, quit stealing money from investors. And that goes for all the other friends of President Bush. Or else!

Vice President Cheney, why don't you reveal what was said and who attended your secret energy policy meetings, which, by the way, were paid for with my tax dollar? What are you, scared?

Come on, Ashcroft, lay out the details of your plan to arbitrarily strip citizenships from Americans. I double-dare you to explain how they can then be put in jail without a fair trial, rights, or the knowledge of anyone. Chicken?

President Bush, show us the hidden records of your governorship, your crooked stock sales receipts, and, while you're at it, the military records that show you were AWOL. Bring 'em on.

1. Very Nice.

But if you really want to see them quake, threaten them with competitive government bidding practices for defense contracts.

2. Wot a rant, Wink!

Wink,

While President/Commander-in-Chief Bush would like to take credit for using taunts instead of debate or policy, CiC Bush simply has to give credit for his brilliant one-dimensional foreign policy to the one and only Tom Delay, who was generous enough to answer your second taunt, about Congress and tax-cuts

You'll be happy to learn that Tom Delay supports many more rounds of additional tax breaks to the rich, with a pony-up tax for folks like you to make up for the Federal Deficit.

Vice President Cheney replied his secret energy meetings where destruction of forests, national forests were merely side-bar topics compared to using Enron to support its stock price while Enron wickedly manipulated energy derivative prices that caused brownouts in Calif..

VP Cheney said your tax dollars only paid for one slice of wrapped American cheese that was slid under the door to the secret meetings. You can come to <undisclosed location> to reclaim your cheese.

When I called AG Ashcroft for comment, he was about to detail his evil plans, till I told him of your double-dare. He bristled, barked and demanded your address so you could be dealt with. Ol' Asscroft softened up when I told him, "If I knew where Wink lived - I'd kick his ass."

You've been answered, bub
