Alex Knapp points out how our dependence on oil is more than just gasoline.
Andrea Harris takes on the irrational fear of guns. It’s like some people think if they own a gun, it will suddenly jump out of the shadows and shoot them. Actually, that would be an interesting gun design…
Spoons has found his kryptonite.

We Should Take All Their Oil and Put It on Top of the Refrigerator So They Can’t Reach It
Since we’re fingerprinting Saudis coming into our country, Saudi Arabia is now fingerprinting U.S. citizens coming into their country. Gawd, it’s like dealing with four-year-olds! Like our people are going to kill thousands of Saudis… well, unless, of course, they are ordered to by the U.S. military when we finally get tired of the Saudis’ idiocy.
Why do we even have to deal with those idiotic governments in the Middle East? They’re all illegitimate, and I’m tired of hearing about them. I’m going to demand my congressperson finally take care of them. You hear that, Weldon? You get a free pass this election, but all those governments better be gone in two years or you’re losing a vote.
What We Need is a Schizophrenic Foreign Policy
Bush has decided to give diplomacy another try with dealing with Iraq. I guess he was intimidated by Iraq receiving 100% of the vote from a 100% turnout. To me, I would think that means we would have to kill all the Iraqis, because they are all now complicit.
I believe diplomacy means they will take another shot at killing Saddam in his sleep and making it look like a heart attack. Or maybe they’ll make his mustache fall off in public so that he must commit honorable suicide as is the custom in whatever region Iraq is in. I’m just afraid that, by going back to diplomacy, we’ll make Saddam think we’re not serious. The best solution would then be to invade France thus giving us two votes on the U.N. Security Council as I’m sure is dictated by the U.N. charter which I have never read nor heard reference to. Here’s the catch: we’ll use France’s vote to vote against the use of force! At the same time, we’ll cruise missile a random palace in Iraq. This we’ll show Saddam that we’re so serious about using force in Iraq that we’ll defy the U.N. even when that means defying ourselves. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Saddam!
Common Sense Gun Laws
No more worries of pretend crime in Mexico; they’ve banned toy guns. When kids play cops and robbers now, you can be certain those robbers will be unarmed, as extending one’s index finger and saying, “Bang!” now holds the punishment of death by piñata beating. Eventually Mexicans plan on addressing the issue of actual crime, but so far the easiest solution seems to be to escape to America.
A thirteen your old boy in Florida shot and killed his teacher, so of course they are prosecuting the gun. It has yet to express any remorse for how it both killed a man and got a poor youth a murder conviction, and thus I hope they throw the book at it. When guns learn that we will get tough with them too, maybe they’ll think twice about firing a bullet just because someone pulled their trigger.
