IN A PERFECT WORLD Politics Would Be Like This

Love comes in all sizes.... Your Friends will support you.... And respect your creativity for thinking outside the box.... They'll be there when you need a shoulder to lean on.... Or a great big hug.... A true friend takes interest in understanding what you're all about.... They see beyond the black and white to discover your true colors.... And accept you the way you are... Even when you wake up in the morning So make your own kind of music.... Follow your heart wherever it takes you... . And when someone reaches out to you, Don't be afraid to love them back.... They may just become a friend for life.... Practice patience and tolerance..... Enemies even Talk to each other Listen to each other Put up with attempts to force themselves on you Even show solidarity Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave .... And impossible to forget! BUT THE WORLD IS NOT PERFECT

So have a laugh while you can.

President Bush said, "What?

"The Iranian whispered "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Iranians.

My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians on Star Trek.

"President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered back..... "It's because it takes place in the future!"
