We Need a War for Oil
An Editorial by Frank J.
Posted by Frank J. at 11:07 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (38)

 I filled up my SUV this weekend, and, after seeing the bill, my immediate reaction was, "Someone must die for this!" After a little thought, I knew who should die: foreigners. Foreigners with oil.

 We need a war for oil.

"If our military can't keep us from being forced to drive gay little cars, then what exactly are all these gasoline taxes going towards?"

 Supposedly, our previous incursion into the Middle East were about oil, but it hasn't looked that way. Unlike all this establishing democracy hooey, a real war for oil would follow a much simpler mission plan: We go in, we kill lots of people, and we take all the oil. Also, we would know for certain when the mission is accomplished; if we have all the oil, we're done.

 Would it just be easier to drive a hybrid instead of having all this killing? No, it wouldn't, because hybrids are gay. If our military can't keep us from being forced to drive gay little cars, then what exactly are all these gasoline taxes going towards? You better not tell me poor people, because I did not get an SUV to help the poor. It should be obvious that our military must be deployed with the sole purpose of stealing all the oil worth getting our hands on. It is a risk of lives, but I risk lives everyday I drive my SUV anyway.

 Now, there are a number of ways to take all that oil. My suggestion is to make big tripod robots like in War of the Worlds, but they'll suck oil out of the ground instead of blood out of people (cars don't run on blood). This may be a bit too extravagant, though. The simplest idea is too simply rush towards the oil fields in tanks killing everyone we see and then securing the oil fields with big walls and minefields and signs that say, "Americans Only." We'll then airlift the oil so we don't have to deal with any people around there. You may be worried that children could step on the landmines, but I'm not since I hate children. Getting blown up will teach them to be small and dumb. I hope monkeys step on mines too.

 Will America stealing all the oil in the Middle East anger the people there? Of course, but who cares. Since we'll have all their oil, they won't have any gasoline to get near us. What are they going to do? Fill a truck with bombs, put it in neutral, and push it towards us? That's pathetic. The most they'll do is get as close to our walled in oil fields and shout epithets at us. Then we can shout back, "Don't you guys have anything better to do? Like losing a war to tiny country full of Jews?"

 So there is what needs to be done. I want war war war until gas is down to a buck a gallon, and I'm the taxpayer, so I get what I want. People didn't need to die for this, but a bunch of Muslims didn't need to live where all our oil is either.

Frank, can you circulate a petition, or maybe we need a letter compaign to show this countries' elected officials how much support there is for a war for oil.

How endearing. Finally, a pundit who sees things my way!

#2 - Posted by: Pete (Alois) on April 24, 2006 11:39 AM

Why bother going all the way to the Middle East to steal oil? Why don't we just head south and steal oil from the Latin and South American countries? We could play it as a trade for all the "undocumented" workers they send us.

#3 - Posted by: brandEn on April 24, 2006 11:46 AM

Gee, thanks, Frank. Now my moniter is sprayed down with Rockstar and all the libs in the adjacent cubes are wondering why I'm laughing so hysterically! Keep up the great work!

brandEn...you just stole my thunder...glad someone else feels the same way.

#4 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on April 24, 2006 11:54 AM

Hybrids are not "gay", they're "geeky". I just wanted to clear that up.

Also, shouldn't we just go after Canada's oil? They're nearby, wimpy, and if we attack Quebec it will be almost as satisfying as attacking France. Just think of the parade-like atmosphere with all of those white flags waving in the air.

#5 - Posted by: Master Shake on April 24, 2006 12:11 PM

I know it's been said, but there really should be a warning on these, especially when one is trying to read and slurp a mouthfull of Ramen Noodles...and DON'T try to make that sound dirty.

Anyway, my fav line was this:

//Will America stealing all the oil in the Middle East anger the people there? Of course, but who cares?" //

Had a Fifth Element feel to it that just tickled me awful.

Keep up the funny!!! LOL!! Bravo, Encore!!!

Or, we could invade Alaska, and drill in our own terrirtoy. The environmentalist wackos are truly who is to blame here. It hasn't even been a year since the Senate Republicans tried to pass a bill to drill in ANWR, which was denied under threat of a filibuster by Demoractic Senators. Thanks Democrats for screwing the "working man"! I wonder how long it will be until the Democrats will try to pass a similar bill to drill in Alaska, just to take credit for it. What a joke!

#11 - Posted by: brent roos on April 24, 2006 01:50 PM

A side benefit of the mine fields, besides killing little children, is that puppies and kittens will wander in and - BOOM!

#12 - Posted by: shnoopy the pitbull on April 24, 2006 02:31 PM

You sick warmonger. Everyone knows that the funnest wars are fought in Germany and Southeast Asia, even though the oil leaves much to be desired.

Become a healthy warmonger! Let's go back to Vietnam and Germany and finish the job!

#13 - Posted by: 1 tsp. Shredded Lemon Peel on April 24, 2006 02:32 PM

I would watch out attacking canada. Quebec would probably surrender because they're wimpy and french, but the rest of canada might hold its own. and besides, the rest of canada is cool. the french part of canada is the only part that sucks.

You got quoted is a KOS diary!

Congrats! lets see how many people get the satire thingy.

#15 - Posted by: MartyBegan on April 24, 2006 04:07 PM

We should also look into additional alternative fuel sources, such as the possibility of building nuclear powered SUV's.

#16 - Posted by: George guy on April 24, 2006 04:49 PM

You already got your war, silly rabbit.

#17 - Posted by: Uncle Bunny on April 24, 2006 04:53 PM

Not many of them are getting it!

But their diatribes on why people don't need to own SUVs and trucks are good for a laugh...

We Need a War for Oil

I smell another t-shirt slogan idea for the IMAO store.

#19 - Posted by: Chris on April 24, 2006 05:08 PM

Two things:
1) Hybrids are most certainly gay.

2) The one exception would be a hybrid that ran on blood. Because that would be kinda awesome in a weird way. And, conveniently, Frank J's same battle plan could be used to gather fuel for the blood hybrids.

#20 - Posted by: Son of Bob on April 24, 2006 05:28 PM

Son of Bob....great idea! All we have to do for a blood powered vehicle is mount a wood chipper in front. Refuel by driving through crowds of protesters! Talk about killing two birds with one stone!!!!

#21 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on April 24, 2006 06:25 PM

MartyBegan said "You got quoted is a KOS diary!...

From the comments left so far, almost none. Has anyone ever done a study to determine why the liberal gene is so devoid of a sense of humor?

Of course, I guess to have a sense of humor you must first have a clue...

#22 - Posted by: wave_man on April 24, 2006 07:38 PM

wave_man,

What's even funnier is that the rabid lefties think it's those on the right who have no sense of humor.

#23 - Posted by: Sheik Yur Bouty on April 24, 2006 08:21 PM

Jesus H. Christ! That was really frightening. Now I remember why I don't read kos.

#24 - Posted by: fmragtops on April 24, 2006 08:54 PM

Hey what about us pickup guys! we need oil to! And the wood chipper would get clogged on Michael Moores fat! it wouldn't work...tsk,tsk. But a fat hybrid, then michael Moore could actually solve a problem, and we wouldn't need any more gas!! Yay(or fat for that matter

#25 - Posted by: The Great Rindo on April 24, 2006 09:22 PM

This post was REALLY funny. It's not often you can laugh out loud at a blog entry. "Someone must die for this!" ...oh, man, good stuff. You should work for The Onion!

#26 - Posted by: Adam on April 25, 2006 12:38 AM

Fat definitely will be the way to go. It burns, for one.
Trouble is, there's only one Michael Moore to feed the woodchipper.

#27 - Posted by: Horrabin on April 25, 2006 12:46 AM

An excellent parody of an idiot jock frat boy. Oh, you are an idiot? Sorry.

Satire doesn't work if you actually believe what you are saying.

#28 - Posted by: hoozer on April 25, 2006 04:24 AM

//Trouble is, there's only one Michael Moore to feed the woodchipper.//

But that'll be fuel for the next millenia, and then our descendants can dig up what's left of Teddy Kennedy and use him for the next generation's fuel.

#29 - Posted by: shimauma on April 25, 2006 08:44 AM

>Satire doesn't work if you actually believe what you are saying.

Actually, that's 90% of satire.

Liberals are REALLY clueless about humor.

#30 - Posted by: Francesco Poli on April 25, 2006 09:27 AM

Frank, You've got to stop stealing my ideas. I posted this a week ago.

War for Oil is War for Me

"'Don't you guys have anything better to do? Like losing a war to tiny country full of Jews?'"

Man, I'm sorry, but this was the funniest line outta the whole bunch. The Muslims have CONTINUALLY tried to eradicate Israel, abut the size of Rhode Island mind you, and failed.

Yup. Allahu Ackbar. Sure thing. He can't even get his act together enough to help you take down a small nation that you think is peopled by swines, monkeys and asses.

Or Maybe, Jehovah is a bigger, more Bad ass God and can kick the Arab ass 'til their camels come home. Nay, he might just be GOD. This has obviously not crossed the Arab/Persian mind.

Allah is great... at churning out asshats that can't get a clue that the dude that created it all is backing Israel's play and that the Arab/Persian world is screwed.

#32 - Posted by: DesertElephant on April 25, 2006 08:04 PM

Frank are you totally out of your mind. What planet do you think we live on...Hasn't enough killing already been done on both sides... I mean if you want more bloodshed perhaps you should go pick up a gun and go do some killing yourself. Have you lost anyone that you know yet to the oil war we are already fighting... I have. Your piece is pretty dispicable man I mean really. It's people like you that litter our highways, piss in our gardens, and generally just make things look and feel like a giant trailer park in some god forsaken back woodsy part of town near the dump. It's people like you that walk around selfish and unnoticing of the real p[roblems that we face as a world society. Do you think oil will last forever... how about water... maybe there is more gold in them thar hills there Frank. Or maybe you could only hope so. I find it obvious that you do not have any children and if you're thinking about it don't as we don't need another selfish fool procreating and creating more. I just wonder Frank, if you ever put any thought into anything or if you just like to spout off and say big things so you can get the "Hell Yeah" from Bubba down in the hollow. Try some thing called compassion Frank, try something called resourcefulness, try something called conservation, it really isn't all that bad to share with people and play nice Frank. Oh and if you think I am some bleeding heart liberal think again... I too own a SUV, am a registered republican, and own my share of guns, but people like you and your thoughts trully make me ill as I really don't think you have ever found the time to actually mentally make it past the age of 14. Good Luck.. you are going to need all the help that you can get.

hey stupid, he was joking.

#34 - Posted by: Patriot Xeno on April 26, 2006 07:06 AM

Ok, I capitulated and read the Kos article. I made it to the 4th reply and almost had a heart attack. Air-powered cars? I sincerely hope that guy was being sarcastic. To store enough energy in air to move (just move, not accelerate/start, mind you )a 1500 lb vehicle 1 mile at ~20 mph (i.e. aerodynamic drag is negligable) would require a 1 m^3 tank at 23 times atmospheric pressure. I thought about finding the Carnot cycle needed for it, but I'm a bit lazy. (and it would require a lot of assumptions...and I don't happen to have my thermo book...and...) Anyhow, the point being, I hate stupid people. (and I'm bored at work)

#35 - Posted by: Andrew on April 29, 2006 01:45 PM

Gee Frankie it sounds like you must be compensating for something? Little gay cars vs. big manly SUVs? Could it be a terminal case of "Little Dick Syndrome"? How big is your SUV? I've heard that there is some sort of inverse ratio to this mathematical problem.

#36 - Posted by: tom on April 30, 2006 01:25 AM

I thought this war was for oil. Only prices have gone up. Guess we attacked the wrong country. Oh and I'm keeping my SUV. Anyways I'm from MN, we get our oil from Canada. If we're going to attack somewhere attack them, they are worthless. Although camping in Jasper and Banff is nice, so don't bomb there. Plus there's this place in Banff where the margherita's are like 3 dollars canadien which is like 12 cents US. Don't bomb them. They have like 17 flavors. And what's up with wanting to kill monkeys with landmines. The monkeys are innocent.
