DESCENDANTS OF MUSSOLINI ANGERED BY BUSH
By Stockton
When descendants of Italy's long deposed fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini read a recent story from the Associated Press, they were livid.
"I dona unastan dis man, Bush," Said Benito Mussolini Jr. a florist in Milan, Italy. "He a acts alla big an talla, thinks he a big Fascist ana yet, dees two people live! He's a givin Fascism a bad name. For God's Sake acta like a man!"
The Mussolni's are worried that the legacy built by their Father, one of repressing dissent at all costs, is being undermined by his spiritual descendant, President George Bush. The concern was echoed by Flora Mussolini, the dictator's granddaughter.
"These a two people, the Ranks, if they did that to Il Duce, whack! Skulls woulda be cracked. They disappear. He putsa up with lawsuits and ana lawyers. He's nota the man Benito was. We wanna our Fascism back!"
The Mussolini's are considering filing an Order to Show Cause to compel Mr. Bush to "stop a acting likea girl" or to severe all ties with Fascism and fascist related policies.

Two Sue Feds Over Anti-Bush T-Shirt Arrest

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A couple arrested for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts to a July 4 presidential appearance filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday alleging their First Amendment rights were violated.
Nicole and Jeff Rank were removed from the event at the West Virginia Capitol in handcuffs after revealing T-shirts with President Bush's name crossed out on the front. Nicole Rank's shirt had the words "Love America, Hate Bush" on the back and Jeff Rank's said "Regime change starts at home."
Their lawsuit was filed in federal court by American Civil Liberties Union attorneys.
"What is at stake here transcends politics," Jeff Rank said at a news conference at the Capitol. "What is at stake is the right of all Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents, all Americans — to peacefully voice their dissent to their government."
Trespassing charges filed against the couple were later dismissed. The City Council and Mayor Danny Jones have publicly apologized.
The lawsuit names Gregory Jenkins, deputy assistant to the president and director of the White House Office of Presidential Advance, and W. Ralph Basham, director of the U.S. Secret Service, as defendants.
