Using Technology to Deepen Democracy, Using Democracy to Ensure Technology Benefits Us All
What do Republicans call a hundred clowns climbing out of a clown car? A deep bench.
A hundred clowns walk into a bar. It's a Republican presidential primary.
How many clowns does it take to screw in a light bulb? The same one clown it takes for Republicans to screw the country.
Why did a hundred clowns cross the road? They were all Republicans running for president.
Republican clowns destroy the country. We call it "The Aristocrats."

In 1922 the Cheka was renamed and reorganized as the GPU
(pronounced Gay-Pay-Oo), from the initial letters of the
Russian words for "State Political Administration."
That same year the GPU became the OGPU (Oh-Gay-Pay-Oo),
when the Russian word for "consolidated" or "unified"
was added to its name, but both names were used almost
interchangeably until 1934.

So does that mean the Russians call the GOP the
"Gay Oh Pay"? Inquiring minds want to know!
Don't blame it on Jeb Bush:
