THUNDER BAY, Ontario (UPI) -- Two advertising campaigns in Canada have
begun portraying U.S. President George Bush as unintelligent to
promote education and audio book sales.

Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, launched the Web site
yaleshmale.com, which features a picture of the president with a
caption reading: "Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn't
necessarily mean you're smart," the Canadian Free Press reported
Tuesday.

A second campaign, by simplyaudiobooks.ca, features billboards around
Toronto depicting an image of Bush with the caption "Don't read
enough?"

Frederick Gilbert, president and vice-chancellor of Lakehead
University, said the school's campaign was motivated by humor and not
politics.

"It was literally a tongue-in-cheek way of getting attention," he
said. However, he added: "I must say that older generations, well even
some of our students, have looked at it as not appropriate."

Isabelle Poniatowski, president of the Lakehead Student Union, said
the campaign lacked class.

"It still strikes me as being very repugnant," she said. "Lakehead has
so many positive attributes that you could really sell to people that
live down south."

If you are ever at a loss to support a flagging conversation,
introduce the subject of eating.

Someday the smart guys may catch on to George W. Bush's strategery.
Until then Bush will continue to exploit the fact that they misunderestimate him.

Bush is inarticulate but not stupid. If you accept the facts that George W. Bush
is lazy, cowardly, dishonest, and corrupt, most of his decisions and actions make
perfect sense.

Bush is crazy like a fox.

It's true that Bush is not actually retarded, but he has not had
an original thought in his life, and he has no moral values of any
kind. He should be drinking beer under an awning beside a rusting
trailer. Instead, he's running the world. Ain't that a hoot?

That's the problem. Bush really does think he's currently drinking beer
under an awning beside a rusting trailer and that he drives a Tijuana Taxi
for a living and Rove is his wife.

Do all liberal malcontent freaks share notes to create a common fantasy
world, or do each of you have unique creations?

p.s.
Thank you President Bush! For continued healthy employment in our great
nation, and for protecting our citizens. Just read about the
unemployment rate edging down to %4.7 and wanted to say thanks. Also,
thank you for your efforts in protecting us w/ the
foiled terrorist attack out of the UK. There's many thousands of
innocent people that are alive this very day because of your diligence!
Give Tony a thumbs up from me when you see him.

Thanks again.
Proud to be an American.

You seemed to be confusing malcontent freaks here. It's the neoCONs that
share notes...and created a common fantasy world called "spreading freedom
and democracy" by force...which has failed miserably...

From? He failed miserably on 9-11 -- and at the same time he's proclaiming
"we're fightin' there instead of here", he and Darth Vadar also caution
"it's not a matter of if....it's a matter of when." Aren't you the least
bit insulted by the doublespeak? Suspicious? Skeptical?

Do you have any idea what the real unemployment % is? Familiar with fuzzy
math? Thought not. Look behind the curtain.

Most of the accused didn't have passports. And suddenly, weeks into the
so-called investigation...and out of that common fantasy world created by
the neoCONs...bomb materials were....uhhh....discovered. Where & what not
reported. Just trust them. Whatever they say, open wide and swallow.

No more a real threat than the Miami 7.

9-11 happened on DUH-bya's watch -- remember? No pass, no excuses. And,
most notably, no diligence. Ever cross your mind how incredulous it was
that the world's superpower was caught so off guard? And the pretend
president, rather than being whisked off to safety while we were "under
attack", continued to read a children's book, upside down? No
interceptions. No alerts. And this, in the face of sophisticated,
"at-the-ready" air/ground surveillance...especially around government
facilities. Wake up. You know, like the "protector" and "decider" should
have done prior to and on 9-11.

Evil like something that doesn't usually get into positions of power like he
