Bush vs. Terrorism (Some Exceptions Apply)
During our dad’s clockw0rk-like morning movement, the Old Man reportedly just about fell off the toilet when he encountered this article reprinted in our hometown paper, the Syracuse Post-Standard. So thanks for the tip, Pops.
It seems President Bush, who hates terrorists and the states that support them, has some caveats to add. First it was a loophole excepting Iraq from a newly passed law that would allow the seizure of national assets by victims in cases where foreign governments were found to be behind terrorist acts. Now it’s a pass for Libya, since Gadhafi is Bush’s new friend in the region. Maybe we should adjust “You’re either with us, or you’re with the terrorists” to “If you’re with us, you’re not a terrorist.” Shall we start a pool on which terrorist ally will be exempted next?
“There is potential for billions of dollars in investment by U.S. companies in Libya’s oil sector, as well as in other areas”
That says it all, why worry if you have oil to tithe to the US? Lets get Haliburton in there, sprinkle in some Starbucks and we are totally gold! Make mine a Mocha Chunky Venta Trio with a shot of terror please.
mmmmm, I love extra shots of terror.
does this mean alaska is now full of terrorist? they’re with us but their oil is off limits… I can picture it now channey clubbin little seals and bush draining oil.
We should go back to using whale oil. I will sign up for the first whaling vessel to go out.
Okay, enough silliness… Bro, I am sorry, I am in a comical mood today.
Bryan:
Beautiful use of the word tithe. It is as though if they render unto Bush what is Bush’s then we will let just about anything slide. Selling indulgences comes to mind.
Nah…that stuff’s terror-ible >_>
OY VEY!
Shall we file this one in the ‘Useful Idiots’ file?
You guys are hilarious and very clever with words. Spelling on the other hand needs work. Channey or Cheney? Sorry, I’m a teacher. I did chuckle while reading these posts. It was a nice change.
I’m not sure if this is possible Brian, but is there some way to display what the most recent post on a particular blog is without opening it? I’m trying to go back and keep an eye out for people making good posts further back, and it’s rather difficult to do so…it would help a lot if we had some way of knowing which ones had recently gotten a hit.
No big deal, just putting it out there.
Thx Weston, you don’t happen to have some extra indulgences laying around do you? I need to absolve myself of the moral implications of driving my new whale oil powered terror cart.
I called Ron Silver earlier today to state that I believe the USA needs to change their ways, because, as history proves, what we do has effect…here in America.
What I got from the rest of the show, was that a lot of money can be made and jobs given, with the USA acting the way it does.
No offense to Ron Silver or anyone else, but I find that type of reasoning to mean that America’s future will hold more Sept. 11 the situations.
Hey! You put a sidebar up! Thanks Brian…
