Ok, have to insert my wacky political humor here.


GEORGE W BUSH - We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road.
We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not.
The chicken is either against us or for us. There is no middle ground
here.

COLIN POWELL - Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the
satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

HANS BLIX - We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have
not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY - Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road I am now
against it!

RALPH NADER - The chicken's habitat on the other side of the road had
been polluted by unchecked industrial greed. The chicken did not reach
the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was
crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.

PAT BUCHANAN - To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

RUSH LIMBAUGH - I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but
I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll
bet that somebody out there is  already forming a support group to help
chickens with crossing-the-road  syndrome. Can you believe this? How
much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road
paid for by their tax dollars. And when I say tax dollars, I'm talking
about your money, money the government took from you to build a road for
chickens to cross.

MARTHA STEWART - No one called me to warn me which way that chicken
was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs
when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any
insider information.

JERRY FALWELL - Because the chicken was gay --- isn't it obvious?
Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken
was going to the 'other  side'. That's what they call it the other side.
Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you
will become gay too. I say we Boycott all chickens until we sort out
this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly
harmless phrases like "the other side."

DR SEUSS - Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a
toad? Yes, the  chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not
been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY - To die in the rain. Alone.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR - I envision a world where all chickens will be
free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA - In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.
Somebody told  us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good
enough.

BARBARA WALTERS - Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be
listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming
story of how it  experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to
accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON - Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads
together - in peace.

ARISTOTLE - It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX - It was an historic inevitability.

CAPTAIN KIRK - To boldly go where no chicken has ever gone before.

SIGMUND FREUD - The fact that you are at all concerned that the
chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES - I have just witnessed eChicken2003, which will not only
cross roads, but will lay eggs,  file your important documents, and
balance your checkbook, - and internet explorer is an integral part of
chicken.

ALBERT EINSTEIN - Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the
road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON - I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is
your definition of chicken?

AL GORE - I invented the chicken!

THE BIBLE - And God came down from heaven, and he said unto the
chicken THOU SHALT CROSS THE ROAD. And the chicken didst cross the road,
and there was much rejoicing.

COLONEL SANDERS - Did I miss one?



;D :D ;D



Cat

LOL!

MEL GIBSON: To help the semites crucify our Lord.  What do you think that "cross" was all about?
MICHAEL MOORE: To cut a secret deal for the Bush family with the Saudi Arabians on the other side.

Very funny, Cat.  ;D

Because it saw Michael Moore coming down the street with his film crew filming a documentary showing the chicken enjoying itself for once instead of being in the the henhouse laying eggs 24/7 when there were others that could fill in just as well until it returned.

Maybe? ;D  

What Marx really said was that the chicken had become aware of the historical moment in which it existed, the material forces that shaped its life, the class forces that oppressed it and the material conditions of its existance.  It therefore organized its fellows and together they crossed the road to end their exploitation and oppression. UP the "politarian" revolution!!!!!!

Unfortunately, though, Nader was right, but it wasn't an SUV that squooshed them, it was an 18 wheeler oil tanker owned by the folks that brought you the Exxon Valses.

TONY BLAIR - Because George Bush said so

MICHAEL HOWARD - Nothing more clearly shows the failings of this Labour government than the fact that this poor chicken obviously felt it had to do something profoundly dangerous for any member of chickenkind, to wit: crossing a road.  Now what has the right honourable member for Sedgefield to say about THAT?

JEREMY PAXMAN - Come on, Mr Chicken, it's a simple enough question: WHY DID YOU CROSS THE ROAD?

MICHAEL MOORE: To cut a secret deal for the Bush family with the Saudi Arabians on the other side.

Shame on you, Mr. Chicken!  Shame on you!

Haha. That was great! ;D :D

JEREMY PAXMAN - Come on, Mr Chicken, it's a simple enough question: WHY DID YOU CROSS THE ROAD?


Without knowing Brit politicos I'll take a risk here.

Paxman is an opposition "back bencher" and adressed this to Tony.  and so see your response above, just add:
Tony Blair: "because I'm a lap doge and..."

Or am I WAY off base?

Funny none the less.

Actually, DC, Paxman is a rather combative BBC interviewer who rather famously refused to let Michael Howard off the hook in an interview when Howard was Home Secretary: he kept asking if Howard had threatened to overrule the head of the Prison Service, and Howard kept answering that he hadn't overruled him... so Paxman kept coming back with "..but did you threaten to overrule him" - this lasted such a long time that Michael Howard got seriously pissed off.  Recently, Paxman admitted that his editor had let him know that their subsequent item wasn't available, so he had to pad the interview for a few minutes.. hence, he kept on and on asking basically the same question to which he wasn't being given a straight answer.

I think Jeremy Paxman is a TV presenter who interviews politicians, Carlos. He is well renowned for his no-nonsense interrogation of politicians who prefer to dance around issues.  :)

Excuse my ignorance, and thanks for the explanation.

I use to be able to watch CBC when I lived in northern NY, and loved the fiesty reporters.  I can't remember her name, but one called Brian Mulrooney a liar on "The Journal" interview.  Which our journalists had "cojones" like that.

Excuse me philbo. Your post came just before mine.  :)

's OK, Bobby - I noticed the 1-minute time lapse and reckoned you'd have been typing just as I posted

So maybe the chicken crossed the road to get faster internet service?

So maybe the chicken crossed the road to get faster internet service?


Heh heh, Nice one, Carlos.  ;D

Or maybe the chicken crossed the road because it realized that, having voted Republican, it had been voting against its class interests, since Col. Sanders was also a Republcan, and so...
