New Elements for the Periodic Table

In a recent contest, The Washington Post asked readers to dream up new
elements for the Periodic Table. Among the best of the batch:

Limbaughium Lb The heaviest known element. It possesses an ever-expanding
mass. Very white. Acidic. Emits heat but no light. Instantly polarizes all
elements that come in contact with it. Repels protons and electrons;
attracts only morons.

Billclintium Bc With a slick appearance and slimy texture, this element
undergoes a series of interesting changes when in hot water.

Canadium Eh Similar to Americium, but a little denser. Much more rigid.
Often called Boron.

Innofensium Pc Precisely equal numbers of electrons, protons, neutrons,
leptons, quarks.Completely inert, utterly useless, but smells like a rose.

Newtium Nt Extreme irritant. Carries a strong negative charge. Does not
possess magnetic properties. Can be purchased cheaply.

Quaylium Vp Einsteinium it ain’t.

Budweisium Ps Has no taste or smell; is often indistinguishable from water.

Cabmium Cb Found in abundance, except when needed. Exists in two states,
in motion and at rest. When in motion, it cannot be stopped, no matter
what you do. Cabmium has a charge associated with it. The charge is
variable, and scientists have not determined the formula for calculating
it.

Politicium Po Contains a great deal of gas. Similar to radon in that it
can reach lethal concentrations in the House.

Congress Cg Atomic number 525. Can never be found in a solution.

Britain and France

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war.
During one battle, the French captured an English Major. Taking the Major to
their headquarters, the French general began to question him.
The French general asked, “Why do you English officers all wear red coats?
Don’t you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?”
In his bland English way, the major informed the general that the reason
English officers wear red coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won’t
show and the men they are leading won’t panic.
And that is why from that day to now all French Army officers wear brown
pants.

Clinton at the May Day parade

The May Day parade in Moscow is the largest, most important military parade of the year. For 1992’s parade, Yeltsin and Gorbachev invited Bill Clinton to come watch it with them. The parade commenced with a battalion of tanks, followed by a division of infantry, followed by armored personnel carriers and mobile artillery. They had mobile ballistic missile launchers, electronic jamming vehicles, and throughout the entire time the formations were overflown by squadrons of the most advanced interceptors, fighters, and long-range tactical and strategic bombers.Clinton, who had never been this close to war in his life, was suitably impressed. Then he noticed that, way back at the end of the parade, there was a disorganized, messy bunch of men in rumpled suits tagging along behind the last artillery pieces. “Who are they?” he asked.”Ah,” said Yeltsin, “those are our economists!” “But I thought this parade was military…” said Clinton, confused.”Mr. Clinton,” said Gorbachev, “have you SEEN the damage those men can do?”

Don Juan

Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and Don Juan were having a terrible fight.
“I am the most beautiful person in the world,” proclaimed Sleeping Beauty.

“No, you’re not,” answered Don Juan and Tom Thumb.

“I am the smallest person in the world,” shouted Tom Thumb.

“No, you’re not,” said Sleeping Beauty and Don Juan

“I have had more lovers than any person in the world,” announced Don Juan.

“No, you haven’t” replied Tom Thumb and Sleeping Beauty.

Well, they decided that if the three were to get along, they needed a mediator, and decided that Merlin, clearly the smartest person in the world, would be ideal. Merlin agreed and summoned them all to his palace, where he announced he would meet with them one at a time.

Sleeping Beauty went in first and not a minute later came out beaming.

“I am the most beautiful person in the world, Merlin said so.”

In went Tom Thumb and out he came as quickly as had Sleeping Beauty.

“I am the smallest person in the world. Merlin agrees.”

In goes Don Juan and in he stays, a half hour, an hour, an hour and a half later. Finally, he emerges distraught, muttering, “Who the hell is Bill Clinton”

Save my spot

Bill and Hillary Clinton were sleeping one night at the White House. Hillary
wakes up and starts shaking Bill to wake him up. “Bill, Bill wake up.”

Bill stays sleeping. Hillary continues, “Bill, Bill wake up.”

Bill finally wakes up and says, “What do you want?”

Hillary responds, “I have to go use the bathroom.”

To which Bill says, “Please tell me you didn’t wake me up just to tell me you
have to go to the bathroom.”

Hillary says, “No, I just wanted to tell you to save my spot.”

Pure Politics: To vote for Bush you must believe…

Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush’s daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.

If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.

A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

A president lying about an extramarital affair is a impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

The public has a right to know about Hillary’s cattle trades, but George Bush’s driving record is none of our business.

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness, and you need our prayers for your recovery.

You support states’ rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the ’80s is irrelevant.

Monica & the Genie!

Monica Lewinsky was walking on the beach when she found a lantern washed up on the shore. She started to rub it and out popped a genie.

“Oh goodie, now I will get three wishes!”, she exclaimed.
“No”, said the genie, “You have been very bad this year, and because of this, I can only give you one wish.”

“Lets see,” says Monica, “I don’t need fame, because I have plenty of that due to all of the media coverage.”

“And I don’t need money, because after I write my book, and do all my interviews, I’ll have all the money I could ever want.”

“I would like to get rid of these love handles, though.” “Yeah, that’s it,for my one wish, I would like my love handles removed.”

Poof!, and just like that, her ears were gone!
