After an exhausting session with Victoria's Secret Police, X98
confessed the following:

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS!


Ha! Boston Red Sox fans know sorrow, AKA The Curse of the Bambino. MLB
fans know sorrow, and his name is Bud Selig.

Soon Bush will have murdered more people than any man known to man.


Pffftttt....your math skills and googling skills need a tune up.

These numbers come from R.J. Rummel, a political scientist at the
University of Hawaii who studies mass killing.

Rummel's genocide figures are more inclusive than some--in fact, he
prefers the term "democide," which he defines as "the murder of any
person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and
mass murder." Genocide is killing due to ethnicity, religion, or other
"indelible group membership," whereas politicide is murder for
political reasons. Democide excludes deaths due to war (36.5 million
between 1900 and 1987) and reckless but not purposely murderous
government policies--for example, the loss of over 20 million Chinese
during the famine of 1959-'62, which was caused by the failure of the
Great Leap Forward.

Defining terms this way puts the Nazi slaughter in perspective. The
following are Rummel's 12 most murderous regimes (from his article in
the Encyclopedia of Genocide, 1999): (1) USSR, 62 million deaths,
1917-'87; (2) People's Republic of China, 35 million, 1949-'87; (3)
Germany, 21 million, 1933-'45; (4) nationalist China, 10 million,
1928-'49; (5) Japan, 6 million, 1936-'45; (6) prerevolutionary Chinese
communists ("Mao Soviets"), 3.5 million, 1923-'49; (7) Cambodia, 2
million, 1975-'79; (8) Turkey (Armenian genocide), 1.9 million,
1909-'18; (9) Vietnam, 1.7 million, 1945-'87; (10) Poland, 1.6
million, 1945-'48; (11) Pakistan, 1.5 million, 1958-'87; (12)
Yugoslavia, 1.1 million, 1944-'87. Three additional "suspected
megamurderers," as Rummel puts it, are North Korea, 1.7 million
deaths, 1948-'87; Mexico, 1.4 million, 1900-'20; and czarist Russia,
1.1 million, 1900-'17.

Rummel goes on to identify the top nine killers: (1) Joseph Stalin, 43
million dead, 1929-'53; (2) Mao Tse-tung, 38 million, 1923-'76; (3)
Adolf Hitler, 21 million, 1933-'45; (4) Chiang Kai-shek, 10 million,
1921-'48; (5) Vladimir Lenin, 4 million, 1917-'24; (6) Tojo Hideki
(Japan), 4 million, 1941-'45; (7) Pol Pot, 2.4 million, 1968-'87; (8)
Yahya Khan (Pakistan), 1.5 million, 1971; (9) Josip Broz, better known
as Marshal Tito (Yugoslavia), 1.2 million, 1941-'80.

He is a beast who...


Nah...he's a Texan, sorta.

God says, will one day, 42 months after he declares
marshal law, come to his end and no one will help him!


Ummm, who is declaring marshal [sic] law? God? So god is talking these
days huh? According to Pat Robertson, god told him GWB is going to be
re-elected in a landslide in Nov.
