A new era?
I am surprised to see a white-haired, white-suited American gentleman at the safari guesthouse. I ask him whether he has submitted his ballot by post.
“No member of my family has participated in a presidential election since Mr Lincoln ran for office in 1860,” he declares in a wheezy Southern drawl. “Any poll that could make that long-legged Yankee jackanape its winner is no better than a pig-in-the-poke auction at a carnival.”
I suck my teeth and nod, as if his views were widely held among the gorillas of the
So it looks like Mr Obama has won. Call me a sentimental ape, but I’d always rather hoped that Sidney Poitier would be
I can’t help sighing wistfully at all these fresh-faced young Americans who expect the world to love their country now that Morgan Freeman Junior is headed for the White House. If only life were that simple! They should consider what would have happened if Dirty Harry had started sweet-talking everyone and inviting them to settle their differences with him amicably. He might have initially impressed a few wishy-washy types in the DA’s office, but the carping would have resumed the very next time he fired his 44-Magnum in anger. As for the hoodlums and assassins, they would have hated him all the more for behaving like a pussy.
I’m not saying that President Obama has to punk anyone out himself to prove a point – that would be undignified. But he ought to make a few strong appointments to send the right signals. My recommendation for the top job at the Pentagon would be Oscar ‘Mad Coyote’ Johnson, the big cat trainer from

Things may not be better overnight - certainly bringing home the troops will be a potential nightmare, let alone fixing the general state of mess left by GeeeDubya. That's without imagining what crap he'll pull in the next few months to make sure Obama starts off on a back foot.
Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.
It's a known fact!
Mr Bananas, have you no power to do anything about the horrible goings on in your country at the moment?

I am just ecstatic that Obama won. I hope he won't fall into the trap of further side lining the blacks just to show that he isn't bias
Oh and he should prob hire David Letterman as his VP...the White House needs some giggles!
Ms Dngy: No, ma'am! President Bush is an American patriot who wouldn't sabotage his country for partisan ends. We gorillas give our full support to whomever America chooses as its president. Aren't you Canadian anyway?
Nursemyra: Only if I can swap places with the man, Nursie!
Joe: People talk a lot about about Chuck Norris, but I have no idea who he is. Is he better than Chuck Connors?
Kitty: No one who saw Mr Poitier in In the Heat of the Night could doubt his qualifications for the presidency. The fighting in the DR of Congo is indeed tragic. Fortunately, I live in the other Congo to the north.
Sabrina: It's a picture of Hindi actress Poonan Bajwa, Saby. I think you could have played her role to perfection!
Obama's victory is historic. It's the first time I've been older than the President of the USA.
It's the first time I've been older than the President of the USA. same here sugar, and i don't even mind it a bit!
I've heard that Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

*snick*
Cow thinks Obama can only do better than Bush, and is inspired by Obama's comment "We are a better country than that", and hope that he proves it right. Cow thinks he will.
The Bush nightmare ends, Hooray!
Moo!
Savannah: I hope so ma'am! And I hope it's not the last one.
Chris: That's OK! Mr Bush calls you a whippet-eating ferret in reply.
Jade: You certainly can, Miss Jade, although the man is a non-entity in the Congo.
Mosha: I'm sure he'll wear tights, but he could be vulnerable to Kryptonite. The secret service will have to watch out for assassins armed with green rocks.
XL: You've done well to survive to such a landmark, Sir!
Kevin: The Martians have landed and are giving away free anal probes. Interested?
Ms Cow: It would be my great pleasure to serve you a drink, Ms Cow. I too hope that Mr Obama does a good job.
Defence - The Rock
Treasury - Sir Hugh Hefner
Interior - Chuck Norris (he lacks The Rock's foreign experience, having only roundhouse kicked people in the Far East, so he'd be better in Interior tha Defence. The Rock has turned into an insect in Ancient Egypt, and therefore has a better grasp of the yahoos in the Middle East)
Homeland Security - GW Bush. He set it up, he can sort it out.
Trade - Jennifer Tilly (her poker is a joy to behold)
Chuck Norris make onions CRY!!!
Chuck Norris had to stop washing his clothes in the ocean. The tsunamis were killing people.
Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
Chuck Norris's show is called Walker: Texas Ranger, because Chuck Norris doesn't run.
Does this help any, Mr. Bananas?
Intelligent, handsome young black men will be the ruin of our great nation.
: Thursday, November 06, 2008 I think Morgan Freeman would make an excellent President too. But then, I liked Martin Sheen in the role best.
Mr Boyo: With that kind of creative thinking you should be on the transition team. There was a time when 'The Rock' meant Rock Hudson. Probably around 1962. How about Paris Hilton for UN ambassador?
Joe: The problem is I never saw his Texas Ranger show. I do remember Chuck Connors in Branded though. "All but one man died..."
Gadjo: Cartman! How did I overlook him? He should have a position in every adminstration. I'd make him head of special operations in the CIA.
Cletus: I'm disgusted Gore Vidal isn't president as well. I blame William F Buckely for calling him a queer on TV.
Mrs Cake: Before The West Wing, Martin Sheen played a celibate version of JFK in a TV movie. Not very convincing I have to say.
Scarlet: I'd like to probe you every month, Miss Scarlet.
With his probing comments and his deep explorations, Gorilla has stirred up an almost alien perfect storm.
Moo!
Chuck Norris, an American Martial Arts Black Belt, on the other hand has many martial arts movies to his credit besides his TV show. I believe that in the movie "Way of the Dragon" he fought Bruce Lee.
Old white men, leaving a mess for a young black man to clean up.
Things never...
...CHANGE.
: Friday, November 07, 2008 Joe: I've looked at a few pictures of Mr Norris. He has an unAmerican face - almost Russian I would say. John Saxon in Enter the Dragon was a real American.
Scarlet: No Chucks, Miss Scarlet? How frustrating!
O'Bama: Gore Vidal is incontinent? I don't think Mr Obama should be asked to clean up his mess.
Mosha: I'm not that keen on putting my head next to her bosom if that's what you mean.
Treespotter: Well thank you, Mr Treespotter, although I'm not sure which proposal you're seconding here.

Sidney lost all respect with that silly Sneakers flick.
You take that back, you bastard!
Mutley: Not sure. I need to watch more TV.
Pi: Well you haven't seen him in a disco yet.
Mrs Pouncer: All things must pass, Mrs Pouncer, including our worries.
Chris: A grim choice. So what did you think about 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'?
He has not lingered in bed with us though. He's up and at 'em. Barack to work and steady as she goes. And I don't even mind this caddishness. In fact, I rather love him for it.
: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 Mary: It's the Kenyans who are happiest of all. The people who are most surprised are those who would never voted for anyone darker than themselves.
