October Surprise

September 22, 2004 11:46 AM

"Tom Ridge unveils a redesigned Air Force 1, painted like the General Lee car from Dukes of Hazzard. No longer will there be a carpeted stairway; instead passengers will have to enter through the windows and holler like they're feeding pigs when boarding the President's jet." Enter the Guess the October Surprise contest and win a coffee mug.

Who'll be the first to post an FPP of Paris Hilton II: I love Bush?

"On November 1st, the Wizard will give courage to Powell, a heart to Cheney, and a brain to W."

Awesome.

Side note: I designed and built that site for Mark Green. I was aware of the octobersurprise.net site even though Mark asked me to go ahead with his site anyway.

See also Ben Cohen's OsamaBinLotto.org with cash awards. Can I have my payout in B&J's Chunky Monkey instead?

That FPP absolutely begs for a Photoshop session.

i think the really sad thing is that i found it CHALLENGING to figure which was the most likely...why can't we vote for more then one: at the last minute bush dumps cheney for rudi guliani, invades those bastards iran, bombs north korea back to the stone age, and declares jeff gordon the head of the federal transportation. take THAT kerry!

d'oh, forgot to add that i don't think it's actually possible to bomb the people of north korea BACK to the stone age as they're already there.

That, and there really aren't enough troops left to go to Iraq. Not yet anyway.

Oops, I meant "to go to Iran." A mistake even a President could make.

Yeah sorta like Rumsfeld mixing up Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
