Which One of You Told Mo Mowlam?

Mo Mowlam has found out that this whole war on terror and war against Iraq are just covers for our actual plan to secure oil for ourselves. We were supposed to keep this secret from foreigners, guys! If more people find this out, our sinister plans will be foiled. Now I have to get a “cleaning crew” together and take care of everyone who reads The Guardian.

For a good article in the Guardian that requires no killing, read Timothy Garton Ash’s introspective column about communism and how it is viewed today versus Nazism.

Stupid People Should Feel Bad About Themselves

I found this article by Mark Goldblatt through Joanna Jacobs (who found it through Number 2 Pencil; such is the blogosphere) and I found its assertion that “ignorance is no longer tempered with humility” in students particularly enlightening. So many people today assert opinions without even knowing basic facts, and the reason why was some teachers were foolish enough to give them self-esteem that was unwarranted. Stupid people shouldn’t have self-esteem; it’s like giving a chimp a gun but much more annoying. When people have self-esteem, they think they have relevant things to say when too often that is far from the truth. Teachers should be extremely frugal with self-esteem, only giving it to the highest achievers, i.e., those deserving. Everyone else should be constantly berated for their ignorance until they are too scared to ever open their fool mouths. If this is followed, most of the idiotic opinions out there will cease to have people willing to assert them, and the world will be a more tranquil and peaceful place.

UPDATE: Response on brand new blog IMFO. Hmm.

Greece is Now the Number One Human Rights Violator in My Book

Eugue Volokh blogged a while back about when it is appropriate for an armed revolution. My answer originally was when a country tries to take away your guns that’s the time for a armed revolution because, hell, its your last chance. I found another time for revolt when I heard about this law they passed in Greece. The bastards banned video games! If I can’t help Super Mario collect the Shines, then it would a mockey of the principles of liberty to continue on as if nothing had happened. If I no longer can frag people online with a virtual M-16 and spout about how gay campers are, then it’s time to get a real M-16, load it up with a 90rd drum magazine, and have myself a coup. Don’t worry, as long as ole Frank is around, I’ll make sure everyone is free to ride the bus while fighting a Venomoth with a Pikachu (though please wear earphones).

Can You Believe These Jerk-offs?

Best of the Web found this article in Asia Times detailing the Sauds extravagant visit to Spain. This is why I could never be a politician, because I could not be paid enough to take jackasses like them seriously as world leaders. They got their people living in misery and ignorance while feeding off of radical Islam and anti-Americanism while at the same time they’re living it up with prostitutes. And if I met those scumbags and they wouldn’t acknowledge a woman in my party, they would have to quickly determine what’s more important to Allah: them beings dicks or not getting a major ass whup’n.

When Arafat Dies, They Can Give Him a 21 Exile Salute

Israel expelled two relatives of a Palestinian terrorist for being complicit in his actions. They got money and weren’t shot or nothing, so it seemed like a sweet deal for them, but still lots of people are angry for some unfathomable reason. Maybe it’s the whole inefficiency of the expulsion process; it involved a whole convoy of jeeps just to get two people from the West Bank to Gaza. Now, I’m an engineer, so I’m always looking for the more efficient ways to do things. That’s why I propose to Israel to build something I will call the Expel-o-matic; it will be like a giant airgun. The expellee gets to say goodbye to his relatives and then is placed in the loading chamber. Then pressurized air sends the Palestinian in a direct path from the West Bank to Gaza without a whole lot of hoopla. Israel can also show they’re compassionate by giving the person a helmet (price of helmet comes out of 1,000 shekel allotment), thus silencing shrill voices in Europe. Also, it could be used as a way of getting rid of Arafat by putting up a sign saying “Free Baby Wipes” that points into the loading the chamber. Hmm, come to think of it, I probably got this whole idea from a Looney Tunes episode. Anyway, as always, if someone is interested, please send me millions of dollars. And you better add in a little more money than you think it will cost, because I do tend to embezzle.

Frank Solution to World Hunger

Colin Powell ended up being heckled at Johannesburg. How dumb are these people? Don’t they realize that Powell is the only person who might actually listen to their idiotic opinions instead of just turning the hose on them?

Anyway, I have my own pratical plan for solving world hunger for those who are interested. It involves another problem: endangered species. I’m always hearing how all our polution, hunting, and cutting down forests have caused so many different animals to become endangered – hell, there are so many endangered species now you can’t hardly swing a dead cat without hitting one. So why don’t we round up all these endangered species and feed them to the hungry; there should be plenty for everyone. Then two problems will be solved: no more hunger and no more endangered species. Everyone will be happy.

The French Surrender

France has surrendered to the idea that America will probably go to war with Iraq no matter what they do, so they decided to not make an issue of it and instead stress areas of agreement. That’s so rational of them, I almost can’t believe it. Is this the beginning of a new friendly relationship between France and America? Then what happens to French hating? I can’t imagine ever giving that up; that hatred of France was passed on from my grandfather to my father and then to me – and one day I hope to pass it on to my own children. It’s a scary thing to think I may have to give it up, for what legacy of a snooty country to make fun of will be left for the future?

But, to remind me of why I disdained the French in first place, Jacques Chirac has proposed a world tax to fight poverty. Oh, yippee, global wealth redistribution. I already had proposed my own world tax called the “other-country tax.” Being another country than the U.S. puts an extra burden on America’s efforts to keep the world from getting all blowed up, so this is a luxury tax on all nations that wish to be independent of the U.S.A. I’m sure a lot of other-countries won’t like this idea, but they don’t have to like it; they just have to get their money in before what shall become known as “cruise-missile day.”

Reason Number 1457 for Invading Iraq

Experts say that Iraq has tons of chemical weapons. If we had it together though, the headline would read, “Iraq had tons of chemical weapons, as determined from trace elements found on the ash that once was Baghdad.” I hate to repeat myself (though it is easier than coming up with new stuff to say), but why haven’t we taken out Saddam yet? I mean even we don’t find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, at least we killed an evil dictator. It’s not like instead of finding evidence of bio-weapons we’ll find evidence that he secretly ran charities to fight world hunger and give puppies to orphans. “Man, do we fell bad now; we totally misjudged Saddam. Because of our unilateralism, we killed him for nothing more than wanting to help children.”

Now Mandela is getting on our case about wanting to attack Iraq. He doesn’t want us to go bombing countries on our own since we’re the only superpower and need to set an example. What the hell? That’s like saying to Superman, “Hey, don’t go flying around shooting laser out your eyes; it scares children.” What’s the point of being a superpower if we don’t throw our weight around for the cause of good? I don’t know who Mandela is, what’s his story, or where Africa is, but, if he is really concerned about the world, he should start some bake sales to get money for more American cruise missiles.

Old-Fashioned God-Off

What is it with being an atheist and pissing people off? No one is trying to kill them or imprison them, so why can’t they just be happy being a tolerated minority. But no, they feel it’s a mission from not-God to pee in everyone’s corn flakes. Michael Newdow is now trying to end tax-payer funded chaplains because he thinks it violates the establishment clause, by, I dunno, establishing a government religion of chaplin-dom or something. So what if they government believes in God? It believes the world is round too, but it’s not like jack-booted thugs will kick down your door if you believe otherwise (well, I don’t think they do; I didn’t actually looked it up). But maybe, to settle things, we could have one of those God-offs like in the the Old Testament where people prayed to their god for miracles versus God god; it could be a huge event! I guess we’d have some big American religious leaders praying for God to do stuff versus people who really really don’t believe in God praying to not-God to not do stuff. Then again, I guess it wouldn’t be that interesting; maybe it could be broadcast on ESPN2.

And You Laughed at Those Super Bowl Ads

The DEA has evidence that a Midwest methamphetamine operation was diverting money to a Middle East terrorist groups. Somehow, I just knew all this terrorism and everything could be traced back to stupid, punk teenagers, always making noise, wearing weird clothing, and buying meth to support terrorists. The next target of the war on terror should be MTV; that’ll learn ’em.
