Daily Dose of Durst

The Republicans are demanding cuts in entitlement programs, which the President said he’d consider. The Democrats have brought up the possibility of maybe raising taxes on a few rich people, which Eric Cantor, the Under Speaker of the House, says he won’t consider. And that, my friends, is pretty much where we stand right now. Although the word “stand” might be affording the participants a wee bit too much credit. Squirm. Slink. Skulk. Dodge. Creep. Crouch. Lurk. Loiter. Weasel. Cower. Any of these might be more apropos.

Maybe Obama should have let the NSA handle healthcare.gov. After all, they have all our information and probably know which plan best fits.

The best news of 07 is that it’s finally over. 07 was to the progressive movement what Truman Capote was to wild boar hunting.

They’re trying to make Hillary cuddly. Which is the same as gluing goose down to the neck of a turkey vulture.

Mike Huckabee said he knows there is duck hunting in heaven. Wow, doesn’t sound like duck heaven is in the same place as human heaven.

The good part of crossing the threshold of a new year is you get to start over. The bad part is you have to do it from where you are now.

A new study claims America’s number one cash crop is marijuana. Same study says the top food in the country is Twinkies.

As a condition of his parole, Dr. Jack Kevorkian agreed not to assist in any suicides. I imagine giving directions to the nearest Taco Bell would be considered a no-no.

Frustrated members of the Iraqi Parliament are encouraging the U.S. to form a new government.

Press Secretary Tony Snow announced Treasury Secretary John Snow will resign this week. Apparently, there’s only room for one Snow job in this administration.

Republicans are complaining about the FBI raiding Democrat William Jefferson’s Congressional office. Apparently they hold their privacy to be a bit more important than our privacy.

Iran is being run by a religious fanatic who sees enemies all around him. Wonder if he has a brother named Jeb?

The White House doesn't seem to be spending too much time seeking out gouging by the oil companies. Must be too busy figuring out who's the next CIA agent they're going to discredit.

"if we find any price gouging, it will be dealt with firmly." I’m thinking his definition of the word “firmly” has something to do with tax incentives.

I’m not saying the GM plan for downsizing is far reaching, but I think they just fired me. And I don’t even work for them.

Here’s what I want to know: How exactly do we propose to build a 2,000-mile long, fourteen-foot-high fence along the Mexican border without using Mexican labor? Are they going to draft housewives from La Jolla?

No truth to the rumor that George Bush plans to combat the Avian Flu by invading Aviaria.

Don’t mean any disrespect, but if the Democratic Party were a horse, we’d shoot it.

It looks like George Bush’s budget was a result of faith based math. Meaning that 2 + 2 is whatever God wants it to be.

The Supreme Court isn’t expected to get rid of Roe vs. Wade, just impose a few conditions on it; like a 10-month waiting period.

The Hamas Party. Boy, there’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one.

Disney announced a plan to make films in China. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when a brutal ruling authority used to oppressing its people with poor pay and inhuman conditions meets a communist country.
