    I’m sure there is one more step. The use of the military drawn down from Iraq (30K or so) to sweep through US cities and pick up dissenters and opponents of this great plan. Afterall, they went to all the trouble to build those cool new detention camps in the middle of the deserts.

  2. Fearguth Says:

    And, Professor Berube, there’s always the invasion option. If, for example, the U. S. were to attack Turkey from the rear, I’m sure Greece would help.

    I heard Bush was about to bomb the Canary Islands

  4. Michael Berube Says:

    Invasion and detention and bombing are always good ideas, though a little bird tells me that the Turkey-basting thing just might violate the “abstinence” plan. Perhaps, instead, Bush — or a surrogate, like Michelle Malkin — could order the slaughter of all moonbats.

    Phyllis:

    It’s not the Canarys he’s attacking, it’s Fernando Pó!!

    That’s great! Abstinence. Tax cuts. And the ever-reassuring nuclear option. Although, biology being sneaky, I suspect the subtle approach embodied in the leak from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will ultimately prove to be the real solution.

    The one that’s not funny at all is: Bush … could order the slaughter of all the moonbats. That’s just a factual assessment of what he’d do if he could. Not funny at all. /*Shivers.*/
