'Kerry' crushes 'Bush' in cockroach derby
.snip. Organizers say the event has an 80 percent accuracy rate in determining the winners of the election.

Madagascar giant hissing cockroaches that represented the Massachusetts Democrat and the Republican incumbent didn't move when the race started.

But with a little prodding, the "Kerry" roach sprinted down a 6- foot tube while the "Bush" roach never moved any of its six legs.

1. Did the bush roach have his drugs?

If not, can you call that fair.

I have seen big roaches covered with a glass and hashish smoke blown in the glass in Turkey. They say roaches breath through the pores in their body. The results are pretty hysterical.

2. A true alegory
for our times.

Kerry just needed a bit of prodding. Bush sat frozen, unable to move.

3. Let me guess
Most of the middle class white guys watching said they'd rather crawl through shit to drink a beer with the Bush cockroach.

4. After 7 minutes Bushroach did finally start to move
During the 7 minutes it sat with a look of fear in it's little beady eyes.
