       It's been a while since there has been an edition of A Thousand 
        Words. It's not because there haven't been funny pictures to mock on the 
        newsreels, but with a new Thousand Words coming out every month the stale 
        factor was definitely possible. But there's a considerable backlog of 
        funny photos now, so I've decided to bring back one of my favourite features. 
        Enjoy. Oh, the usual disclaimer applies: blah blah parody, blah blah don't 
        get upset if I mock someone or something you take seriously. Blah. 
        
        
       
       
         
           
              The new Christina Aguilera video is just plain

               Don't these people look like they are just dying 
                for an Internet chat game?

               Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge demonstrates 
                the difference between a friendly wink and a scary, menacing wink.

               Perhaps Davis would have beaten the recall if he 
                hadn't taken so many naps during speeches.    |

          At it takes is a single brief encounter with the governor-elect 
            to leave one feeling offended and confused all at once.  |
