The mad cowboy with the strange Christ-quirk won again. Nothing else could be expected in times of war that he started several times himself. He had an unbeatable election campaigner in Osama bin Laden who sent the most effective publicity clip of the whole campaign right before the election. Even John F. Kennedy would not have had a chance against this duo, much less John F. Kerry, the intellectual patrician with the artificial, mahogany-carved face.

For the first time in its history, Ossietzky publishes a contest (Part One) and will award a prize. Whoever carefully studies this quiz will gain priceless knowledge about the past four years under world president Bush. Excellent predictions for the next four years could result from the quiz.

If the global terrorists including those in the White House do not succeed in the next years in wiping out human civilization and culture (and this journal), the second part of our puzzle will be published in 2008 – punctually at the inauguration of Bush’s brother and successor Jeb.

ZERO--as in 0 out of 24 items from the original author. It takes Bushed apologist Jack M more time to list "11" irrelevant claims against "Leftists" than the time for a real environmentalist to screw in a compact-fluorescent bulb!

Zero.. The bitch is dead from a lack of social security and her stupid neo-cock son ditching her in that convalescent home.
