Can you tell I Don't Like Shrub?

These are some anti-war road signs:

War is good for the economy the way cannibalism is nutritious.

Osama + Saddam = Easter Bunny (this one has pictures of each under the name.)

And a joke:

Donald Rumsfeld was giving the president his daily briefing at the White House.
He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!" His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?

Some republicans are nice:

My niece, Kimberly, purely by fate, was working at a travel agency in Austin, Texas, for her ex-boyfriend's mother, when they were hired by the Bush campaign to arrange travel plans for Bush, Cheney, and their buddies. Kimberly was given a job at HUD in D.C. for helping, in Austin, with Bush's first run for President. Mr. Jackson, her boss is now the head of HUD. She is his assistant. A few years ago he was second in command , until the first director retired.

She was there on 9-11 and could see the smoke from the Pentagon from the HUD offices. Mr Jackson was on the phone to her from his car when the plane hit the Pentagon, it flew over the road he was on and he saw it hit. They were supposed to do a Habitat For Humanity Build that day, and when they heard about the first plane hitting the World Trade Center, they called off the build and he was headed home to change his clothes to proper office attire. She was terrified (no one knew how many more buildings would be hit) she told Mr. Jackson not to come back, but he did. She called her mother, in Austin, and they cried together as the horror unfolded.

We are all proud of her regardless of politics.
