that I lent my vocal talents to can be enjoyed here!
It was made by a very funny fellow named Jacob Sager Weinstein, and it asks the question, “What if FDR Had Been Like GW Bush?”
How many times have you asked yourself that?
It may be the only time that my famous FDR impression will ever come in handy.

1You do a good FDR, of course, I’ve never heard the real FDR, so I’m probably not the best judge.

3Chris, you can come chat by my fireside anytime. I especially liked the part about invading Switzerland instead of Germany because they speak the same language and look roughly alike.
And lest anyone of us forget, “Real Time written by Adam Felber” has its season opener tonight. I may actually stay up for this!

5Well, dang me. I thought we won the Big One. Of course, I attended a Big University (if you’re thinking the UC campus in LA, you’d be right), but, lookin’ back an’ everythin’, it was filled with leftist perfersssers who could’a been leadin’ me astray, what with all their talk about Viet Naam an’ all. An’ misinformin’ my young brain with propaganda.
We just watched the Bill Maher show. The opening skit seemed to have Adam written all over it. Very funny.
It looked like Bill was getting very pissed about the mikes in the opening. Any dirt, Adam?
Great FDR, Chris.

Dear Diary,
For some reason, I’ve been having random quotes from FDR running through my brain all day, like the same late night used car commercial playing 5 times during “The Barefoot Contessa”. Ava Gardner, now there’s a babe! Like I said, random thoughts all day - better up the adderall dose.
Diary, I’ve got a choice to make this week. As you may know, by holding the office of Secretary of the Interior, I am eighth in line for the Presidency of the United States. I’m running out of time for the magical plane crash/food poisoning/pipe bomb/rogue comet from the Oort Cloud scenario to run it’s course and catapult me into the position of Leader of the (Free) World. Apparently no amount of fervent prayer is going to make it happen. Damn waste of time that was!
On the other hand, if I resign by the end of the month and move back to Idaho, I’ll be cast into the pathetic role of “Elder Statesman of the Republican Party for The Great State of Idaho”. Boooor - ing! and wouldn’t even get you laid in Twin Falls, for God’s sake. Of course, I could use my time as ESRPTGSI really sticking it to Cecil Andress, the Democrat counterpart and well known limp-wristed, liberal, daisy sniffing, environmental pantywaist, who was Secretary of Interior for Jimmy Carter and never saw a tree he wouldn’t hug! (I should also spend some of my time coming up with a better acronym for ESRPTGSI. That really sucks!)
So that’s my dilemma. “Baby’s Ass” Bolten (W’s nickname for Josh, since he is clean-shaven and without that FUBAR mustache that John Bolton is so proud of!) needs my resignation letter by Friday or I’ll have to stay on until the end of the President’s term in January, 2009.
Yup. Better up the Effexor and Topamax as well. This is going to be a difficult week.

7FUBAR. Apt description of the current administration. The You Tube of Cheney in 1994 describing the situation in Iraq (sorry, I’m an idiot at this, so I don’t know how to link) so pisses me off I might actually get off my dead ass and start getting active besides voting and bitching.
However, there’s birds to feed, and children to take to birthday parties, so maybe I’ll do something tomorrow. Or maybe Monday. But pretty soon, dammit, I’m gonna start doing something about this situation!!

8I’ve never heard the real FDR either, but I’ve heard recorded speeches and fireside chats, and Chris, your imitation is uncanny! Very good FDR impersonation. I’m not sure what it gets you, but it’s very good.

10It’s a beautiful day on the East Coast of America. Enjoy the bountiful blessings of this rare liquid water planet tucked neatly into the habitable zone of our local Type M star. Verily, I say keep life in balance, lay naked in the Sun, feed your pets, let your grass grow another week before mowing, sequester all carbon, walk don’t drive. Stop Shopping. Amen and amen.
It's Pat!

13Chris you missed FDR’s Clean Water policies that eventually set the Great Lakes on fire, and what about plunging the nation back into the Greater Depression, let alone the economic disaster.
