For years environmentalists and animal rights activists have accused President George W. Bush and his administration for turning a blind eye to the world&rsquo;s environmental issues. But today the President shot back at his critics by introducing a new conservation plan called The Brooks Brothers Act of 2007. <br /><br />&ldquo;With this Act, I am putting White Anglo-Saxon Males, Protestant or Catholic, on the endangered species list,&rdquo; said Bush. &ldquo;With the rising numbers of Latinos, Asians and other off-white males, we haven&rsquo;t identified yet, it was time to take action in order to protect a vital national and global resource.&rdquo;]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/rss-comments-entry-1354432.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Pentagon Unveils The “Try And Follow Us Home” Map</title><dc:creator>Chris</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:32:30 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/2007/9/10/pentagon-unveils-the-try-and-follow-us-home-map.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">133503:1228113:1250332</guid><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.thelostnews.com/storage/NewWorldMap2.jpg" mce_real_src="http://www.thelostnews.com/storage/NewWorldMap2.jpg" alt="NewWorldMap2.jpg" />]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/rss-comments-entry-1250332.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Larry Craig, “Just Because You Suck A Little Thingamajig Doesn’t Make You A Watchamacallit”</title><dc:creator>Chris</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:02:28 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/2007/8/29/larry-craig-just-because-you-suck-a-little-thingamajig-doesn.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">133503:1228113:1231121</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right"><img alt="476px-Larry_Craig_official_portrait.jpg" src="http://www.thelostnews.com/storage/476px-Larry_Craig_official_portrait.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1188400370390" mce_real_src="http://www.thelostnews.com/storage/476px-Larry_Craig_official_portrait.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1188400370390" /></span>(Boise, Idaho) The dark spectre of sexual ambiguity has descended upon Republican Senator Larry Craig, who was arrested on June 11th by a plainclothes officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis airport. </p><p>But everything&rsquo;s okay, says Craig.<br /><br />&ldquo;I just want everyone in Idaho to know that I am as straight as an Indian arrow, and that just because someone might suck a little <i>Thingamajig</i> doesn&rsquo;t make that person a <i>Watchamacallit</i>,&rdquo; said the Senator while standing next to his wife/beard.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/rss-comments-entry-1231121.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Congress Solves Healthcare Crisis By Requiring Citizens To Get $100,000 Jobs</title><dc:creator>Chris</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jul 2007 15:10:23 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/2007/7/16/congress-solves-healthcare-crisis-by-requiring-citizens-to-g.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">133503:1228113:1151344</guid><description><![CDATA[<span class="full-image-float-right"><img src="http://www.thelostnews.com/storage/US_House_Committee.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1184599899859" alt="US_House_Committee.jpg" mce_real_src="http://www.thelostnews.com/storage/US_House_Committee.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1184599899859" /></span>(Washington D.C.)

Last week while Republicans and Democrats were gearing up for the 2008 Presidential election, Monica announced her intention to run in 2032 and put the South American nation of Venezuela and it's &quot;elected&quot; leader Hugo Chavez &quot;On Notice&quot;.<br /><br />&quot;Mr. Chavez, you need to get your C-R-A-P in order,&quot; said Swafford during a campaign stop in her kitchen for milk and cookies &quot;because if you haven't reinstated a true market economy by the time I take my oath, there's going to be some real T-R-O-U-B-L-E.&quot;<br /><br />Chavez is not Swafford's only target. She also has put &quot;On Notice&quot; Zimbabwe, China and Luxembourg, all for human rights violations.<br /><br />Though Chavez and the other countries have more than twenty-five years to comply, they shouldn't take this young girl lightly. Monica is the only child ever elected to a neighborhood council (we think), where she fought hard to install lights in the pool (so kids could swim at night) and allow anyone to sell their homemade snacks. &quot;I'm a big believer in the entrepreneur,&quot; added Swafford.<br /><br />Most 10 year-olds spend Friday nights watching movies and putting on make-up with glitter, but from now on Swafford will spend hers fundraising and writing out her policy ideas. She believes in a flat tax system, a strong military and a nationwide bedtime of ten o'clock for children under thirteen.<br /><br />&quot;I know this journey is not going to be easy,&quot; said Swafford &quot;That's why I'm starting now. So when I reach 35, which by the way is very old, I'll be ready.&quot; Before becoming President, Monica also plans to have a child out of wedlock and overcome a future addiction to Meth. &quot;Overcoming those obstacles will only endear me to the voters,&quot; added Swafford &quot;They'll see that Monica Swafford doesn't have one ounce of 'quit' in her...You hear that Chavez?&quot;]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.thelostnews.com/politics/rss-comments-entry-999251.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
