Great Moments in the War of Idiotism
Among the highlights in the War on Terror I’ll always remember:
-After holding off the mighty Soviet Commie machine for nearly half a century, the awesome military might of the world’s only superpower lets the equivalent of an Islamic mobster utilize three stooges in a commercial jet to make a direct hit on the big bad military’s HQ, and nobody is reprimanded for the boo-boo.
- Cat Stevens plane is rerouted to prevent him from dropping a Peace Train on America.
- Airplanes are made permanently safer by making passengers go barefoot, so they won’t conceal a deadly shoe bomb that has never killed anyone, because passengers knew how to handle the one idiot who tried one.
- Senator Ted Kennedy is blocked from flying as a suspected terrorist.
- The Crayola Alerts, which proved effective as a fear-inducing election tool, are not raised even after North Korea threatens us with nuclear war.
- The mother of a soldier who died in the illegal War on Iraq is arrested because her attire used words with more syllables than ‘pet’ or ‘goat’, which scared the President.
- And then there’s this Vermont granny…
Someday, historians will refer to this presidency, as ‘Ernest Goes to Washington with Larry, Darryl and Darryl.’
(Now be sure to take five to write those letters on behalf of Rosemarie Jackowski, and demonstrate that somewhere in America, there still resides a genuine IQ. )

Thanks for posting the link regarding Rosemarie Jackowski. Her plight today could so easily be yours or mine tomorrow. It behooves each of us to let the state officials know that we are watching and waiting for justice to prevail. I hope that you and your readers will take a moment to write to those who’s emails are liste at the bottom of the linked post.

Well if the Democrat party keeps lurching to the right in 30 years we’ll have another president as bad as Bush and he’ll be a Democrat. We’ll have Democrats telling us to vote for the new Bush because he’s not as bad as the other guy.

Pretty much sums it up. You could turn it into a neo-vaudevillian musical entitled, “W’s Follies.”
