In My World: Clinton Visited by Ghosts of Founding Fathers

For the benefit of those wondering what the opinion of a self-indulged, immoral, scumbag is about war with Iraq, Clinton spoke at a Synagogue Thursday. He said the Bush should not take action without guidance from cartoon space monkey Hans Blix. Clinton also said any “pre-emptive strike” against Iraq by the United States should come only with the support of Europe, including inconsequential assclown NATO members France, Belgium and Germany.
To the surprise of everyone in attendance, once Clinton finished speaking the ghosts of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin materialized in front of him. “Wow, what an honor!” Clinton exclaimed, “Now you can explain to everyone how great a legacy my presidency made and maybe convince them to make me president again.”
A smile formed on Washington’s ethereal face. “We’ve watched you for a long time.”
“Pretty impressive, huh?” Clinton beamed, “I knew you guys wouldn’t care about a few little scandals here in there when my heart was into making America great. Well, I just want you to know, I humbly accept you bowing before me.”
Washington chuckled a bit. “Yeah… that’s what we’re here for. As we’ve said, we’ve watched you for a long time, and we’ve always wanted to meet you in person like this so we could tell you something.”
“Sure, what?”
Washington floated closed, his translucent face seemingly bearing a grave matter. “Now, I want you to listen to this and remember it well.”
The ghost of the founding fathers then beat Clinton savagely for three hours straight. Clinton supporters fled the synagogue in terror, but soon other people crowded in when they heard a fight going on. And it was quite spectacular, the poltergeist rage of the founding fathers flinging Clinton against the walls and ceilings, and then ripping objects off the walls to beat him with.
“It was so cool!” exclaimed Sean Cooper, 17, who witnessed the event. “They were totally like railing on the guy. I started feeling sorry for Clinton, but then he started talking again which just got everyone pissed more, especially the ghost dudes. Franklin then held him from behind while Madison whaled on him yelling, ‘Feel your pain!’ I don’t know much about James Madison, but I’m going to have to look him up in a history book; that guy rocks!”
“Clinton may not know what ‘is’ is,” said Jeremy Mitchell, 26, who ran in after hearing the commotion and applause, “but we sure all now know the definition of an ass-kicking.”
After the ghosts finally departed, Clinton himself was nowhere to be seen, possibly having been pulled into a ghost world to suffer eternal torments. It was a while later, though, he turned up in a nearby dumpster, disappointing many. Historians are now debating whether to add a new asterisk to Clinton’s name on the list of presidents, making it now read “William Jefferson Clinton *impeached **savagely beaten by founding fathers”.

Many Fear the Unknown, And Thus I Fear Belgium

Iraq’s existance still mocks me. Who’s to blame? France, Germany, Russia, and Belgium keep wanting to delay our war with pointless and endless inspections, allowing Saddam to continue plotting while his military goes unkilled. The question is, does America have enough courage to stand up to Belgium? I’m not so sure. I assume that most Americans, like me, do not know much about Belgium. All I know is that they are in Europe somewhere and have some association with chocolate and waffles. For all I know, they exist on a floating fortress, and all the Belgipinos are cybernetic giants who speak their harsh sounding Belgianese. I simple don’t know and am too lazy to look it up.
I have a better idea than risking a fight with these mysterious Belgillians. If we can’t get a vote for attacking Iraq, let’s declare war on the U.N. Since the building is in New York, it will be really simple to deploy our troops; we can even use public transportation. Plus, we have lots of good reasons to declare war on them. They associate with known terrorist nations, they interfere with our interests, and we hate them. So let’s bomb the U.N. building to rubble thus destroying their power. Then we can make an even more exclusive United Nations where only America is allowed to join. Now the U.N. will actually be efficient and capable of making international law. Also, if any other nations try uniting again, we shall deal out harsh punishments for their conspiracy.
The world shall be ours, and all other nations will have to grovel before us. Not even Belgium’s fearsome leader, Belgazor, will be able to stop us. Muh ha ha ha!
Oh yeah, and then we can fight Iraq.

I Don’t Think Anyone Has Used a Noogie in a Diplomatic Situation Since Teddy Roosevelt

North Korea supposedly now has nuclear missiles that are able to hit the Western U.S. So what. We’re able to hit all of them. And I bet ours are faster, too. They could launch a missile at us, and we could wipe them all out before they were able to find out if their missile hit. And what strategic importance would it be to hit our west coast? They’d just wipe out the Hollywood liberals, the least warmongering among us. Those left would be our most warmongering, and America would probably now be so belligerent that would not only wipe out North Korea but probably also start randomly attacking Canada and Mexico because they’re near us.
Of course, we need to get missile defense to protect our west coast; those idiots in Hollywood are ours to kill. Once we have missile defense, the North Koreans can’t even pretend to threaten us. We’ll just keep badgering North Korea saying, “Why don’t you nuke us? Huh? We’re really scared, you know. Why don’t you teach the evil imperialists?” And they’ll just continue to bluster about how they can fight anyone, but it will be much more muted now. Then Bush can offer to have talks with Kim Jong Il. As soon as the talks start, he can grab Jong in a headlock and start giving him a noogie.
Jong: Ahh! My Poofy hair! You imperialists will pay with…
Bush: Why don’t you nuke me, Jongy-boy? Why don’t you nuke me?
Jong: …will burn while the citadels…
Bush: Come on and nuke me, Jilly-Jong. I dare ya.
Jong: Oww! That noogie hurts! Please stop!
Bush: Then say you’re a girl!
Jong: No.
Bush: Say it!
Jong: I’m a dainty little girl.
Man, diplomacy will be so cool once we have our missile defense. We’ll easily be able to get back at those weasely European countries because we could nuke them and they can’t even touch us. We can make all French citizens have to kneel to the West five times a day and surrender. The Germans will have to inhale helium so they don’t sound so scary when they talk. And all the waffles in Belgium will be ours. Also, we’ll declare that all oil in the world is technically the property of the United States by virtue of us being so kickass.
So get to it, you rocket scientists. There are too many uppity countries out there who need to learn their place.

In My World: Rumsfeld: I’d Rather be Killing Commies

Osama bin Laden is said to have released a new tape calling evil terrorist retards to arms if the U.S. attacks Iraq. In his taped message, he instructed terrorists in battle strategies aimed at causing the highest number of American casualties. These involved telling them the best ways of splattering ones blood when shot so that Americans may later slip on it.
At a later press conference, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld seemed to be amused by the tape. “It’s fun for them to pretend that Iraq could actually be a worthy opponent to the U.S., but, according to our analysts, the difference in length of an invasion between them using their best weaponry available and the best fighting strategies opposed to them just standing there letting us shoot them is about eight minutes.”
Rumsfeld them took questions.
“Do you regret lumping Germany in with Cuba and Libya?”
“Would I have said it if I didn’t mean it?” Rumsfeld asked, glowering at the man.
“Uh… no sir. Of course not,” the reporter said, slinking away.
“Germany, Libya, and Cuba are all alike. They won’t help us with Iraq, they are evil countries, and we are currently working on plans to assassinate their leadership.”
“Actually,” National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice interrupted, “We don’t have plans for Libya.”
Rumsfeld grumbled to himself as he snatched a nearby napkin and pulled out a pen. He then quickly jotted a few things down. “Tying timed explosives to monkeys is easy enough,” he mused to himself, “but teaching them the subtleties of ninjitsu will take time.” He then tucked the napkin into his breast pocket. “I’ll file this later. Next question.”
“What are your reaction to your German relatives who disowned you?”
“Of course, I can’t have fools like that claiming my bloodline. I will hunt them down, kill them, and burn their bodies. I will then bury their ashes in a dank bog. Nothing too surprising. Anyway, I’m going to now let Dr. Rice tell you about some more of our new technology to help with our fighting.
Rice then stepped forward. “To help in a possible conflict with North Korea, we’ve created a new firearm safety feature to avoid friendly fire incidents.” Rice held up a handgun with some sort of optical attachment under the barrel. “The firing pin is blocked until the gun detects that it is pointed at a Communist.”
“How can it tell if someone is a Communist?”
“Could you do me a favor?” Rice asked the reporter as she pointed the gun at him, “Could you say ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’?”
“Potato chip… of the polar… chariot?” the reporter said with confusion as Rice pulled the trigger to empty clicks.
“Wow,” Rice exclaimed, “Too dumb to even be a Communist; didn’t think that was possible.”
“I would point out,” said another reporter, “That just because someone has a Communist viewpoint, doesn’t mean they should be shot.”
Rice then pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger. “It works!”
“One less Commie,” Rumsfeld laugh. “Damn, I hope we finish this Iraq thing soon; I miss killing Commies. Remember when I strangled one in Nam?”
“Yeah, that was last year,” Rice answered, “Caused a bit of media firestorm.”
“Hey, if God didn’t want us killing Commies, he wouldn’t have given them necks fit for strangling.”
“We still have questions,” interrupted one reporter.
Rice pointed the gun at the reporter and pulled the trigger – an empty click. “Fine, what?”
“Diplomats for both the French and the Germans are in town right now. Do you and Rumsfeld plan on meeting with them?”
“Yes, we do,” Rumsfeld said with a sinister laugh and then ended the press conference.
In unrelated news, the “Rumsfeld Strangler” (incident1 incident2) has struck again, killing French and German diplomats. This time, a videotape was left on the scene. On it, one can see Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld strangling a diplomat while he says, “I’m Donald Rumsfeld. I’m strangling you.” The end credits seem to indicate he had help in the act, as the cinematography is credited to “Condoleeza Rice”. D.C. police are tired and confused. Cracking an easier case, they arrested a seventy year old woman who tried to defend herself with a handgun when an assailant broke into her apartment. That assailant, who has numerous assault and drug convictions, was immediately elected mayor.

Do You Love America Enough to Bomb Puppies?

The Whitehouse seems to think that Saddam will use human shields, but I never got the point of those. If I were going to have a shield, I’d rather have steel or something. People, on the other hand, just ain’t that good at stopping a bullet. Sure, if it hits a bone, that may work, but you know that’s not guaranteed. Instead, it will probably just go through the intestine and still be going pretty fast upon exit.
I guess the idea of the human shield is that we’d not want to kill these people. That’s just silly. The human shields are going to be Iraqis and liberal protestors, people everyone hates and wants dead. Some may say that the Iraqi civilians have never done anything against us, but, then I rejoin with, “Well what the hell have they done for us?” In these trying times, I think our standard for not getting bombed should not be so simple as someone not being a threat, but they should also have to shower us in riches and praises…. or at least buy us coffee. Only those who flatter us should not be smoten by our awesome might.
If you want a good shield, I say use puppies. Build a fortress out of kennels filled with playful puppies. Then have more puppies running around, chasing a ball or having a tug of war with a piece of rope. Then, when they give the briefing to the troops and show them video of their target, everyone will be like, “Hey, look at all the cute little puppies.” And even the most hard-hearted Marine upon seeing a thousand cute little puppies will say, “That’s got to be six more puppies than I ever thought I could personally kill.”
Of course, Rumsfeld, who swallows puppies whole for sport, will then yell, “Those puppies sympathize with the enemy! They must suffer, then die! After this operation is over, I want enough puppy skulls to shingle my roof!” That’s Rumsfeld, always the voice of reason.

In My World: Bush Likened to Cowboy

President Bush seemed to signal war was approaching, saying Saddam “wants the world to think that hide-and-seek is a game that we should play. And it’s over.”
He then added, “and, the way we play hide-and-seek in Texas, after we find him, we beat him with sticks.”
He then had a meeting with French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac in a last ditch effort to make the Prime Minister see his point of view. It did not go well.
“After the meeting, Chirac described you as being a cowboy. How do you respond?” asked a reporter at a press conference held afterwards.
“I object to that.”
“Well, couldn’t you admit that the way you lassoed Chirac, shot those accompanying him with a single-action revolver, and then yelled, “Yee-haw!” while riding a horse off into the sunset with a bunch of stolen French cattle could be construed as the actions of a ‘cowboy’?”
“Well, yeah,” Bush admitted, “I was just objecting to the way he said – like it was a bad thing. Who in the world doesn’t like being a cowboy? I’m starting to think that Chirac may be… what’s the word… homosexual. And I don’t mean that in that he is ‘happy and merry’. I mean that in that’s he’s gay.” Karl Rove then whispered in his ear. “But I don’t mean that in a bad way.”
“So are you factoring in France’s and Germany’s opinions?”
“Nah, honestly I just went to France to steal me some French cattle. I hate those guys. They make me think of that kid in class who would remind the teacher to give us homework. I beat that kid up, and that’s still my policy.”
“Are you pretty set on war, then?”
“Hell, yeah. I hate that Osama and finally want to kill that bastard.”
“Don’t you mean Saddam, the leader of Iraq?” one reporter corrected.
Bush looked more confused than usual. “Hell, I dunno. Bad people are going to die, so be happy!” He then shook his fist at the reporters. “Rumsfeld and Condi are in charge of this anyway. What they want is going to happen, because they’re much smarter and more powerful than me; they’re like Darth Sidious and Darth Maul.”
“And would that make you Jar Jar Binks?” a reporter quipped.
Bush looked enraged. Karl Rove then whispered in his ear and he calmed down and smiled. “That’s pretty clever of you… Jar Jar Binks… that’s a funny one… going to be laughing about that one for…”
“I’LL MURDER YOU DEAD!” Bush finally screamed and leapt on the hapless reporter. “I’m the President of the United States of America!” he yelled as he pounded the man’s head into the ground, “The most powerful man in the world! I can have you declared an enemy combatant and deport your family to Syria!”
The Secret Service wrestled Bush away from the man, but, as Bush was pulled to his feet, he quickly calmed down, straightened his tie and jacket, and tossed the reporter a blank pardon before walking off.
“He was just playing around,” Whitehouse Press Secretary Ari Fleischer later told the press, “So there is no reason to sue him, unless you’re some sort of crybaby… or hate not being injected with a drug that makes it look like you had a heart attack.” He then glared at the press threateningly.
“What about when the president allegedly beat up Sen. John Edwards and threw his shoes onto a telephone wire. Was he just playing then?”
Fleischer laughed. “I guess Mr. ‘Regular Guy’ caught a regular beating.” Fleischer then glanced at his watch. “The Simpsons are coming on, so screw you guys.”

Terrorist FAQ

Since the alert status has been raised, I’ve decided to help out by writing this terrorist FAQ to educate the masses.
TERRORIST FAQ
Q. How can I identify a terrorist?
A. Sometime the differences between terrorists and non-terrorists are quite subtle. While a non-terrorist would carry a briefcase, a terrorist would carry an AK-47. If a non-terrorist bumps into you, he will say, “Pardon me, sir.” If a terrorist bumps into you, he will say, “Death to the infidels!” The main way to identify a terrorist, though, is the evil look in their eyes. Also, they’re Arab.
Q. What about those people who set bombs in Ireland?
A. I believe they are also Arab.
Q. I don’t think that’s right.
A. Then write your own FAQ.
Q. I tawt I taw a terrorist! What should I do?
A. Immediately jump him and pummel him. There will always be time for questions post-pummeling.
Q. What if I was wrong and jumped a non-terrorist?
A. Have a sincere sounding apology prepared just in case. Also, carry around a number of those “Fun Size” bags of chips. Then you can say, “I’m sorry I beat you up. Here’s a bag of Fritos.”
Q. What if I need to shoot a terrorist? What caliber should I use?
A. I recommend a .45, but many people now prefer a .40 caliber handgun. Shoot the terrorist a couple times; if he doesn’t die, switch to the next higher caliber.
Q. I just shot a terrorist, but I found a bomb near him. What should I do?
A. Cut the red wire.
Q. Are you sure I shouldn’t cut the green wire?
A. Yeah, on second thought, cut the green wire.
Q. So which is it? The red wire or the green wire?
A. Could be the blue wire.
Q. I’m just going to try running away really fast.
A. That’s what I’d do.
Q. Why do people want to terrorize us?
A. They’re retarded.
Q. Aren’t the causes for terrorism much more complicated, involving socio-economic factors, the residual effects of colonialism, the…
A. No, they’re just retards.
Q. But isn’t…
A. Retards.
Q. A terrorist all in black is flipping around and throwing sharp objects at me. What should I do?
A. That’s a ninja, not a terrorist.
Q. Well, he’s still trying to kill me.
A. Sorry, but that’s beyond the scope of this FAQ.
Q. I think I saw Saddam Hussein. What should I do?
A. First, make sure it’s not actually Tom Selleck.
Q. Whoops, it is Tom Selleck.
A. When identifying Saddam, try not to just focus on the mustache.
Q. I see a terrorist dressed in black stripes who keeps saying, “Robble Robble Robble.” Should I kill him?
A. That’s not a terrorist; that’s the Hamburglar.
Q. Might one consider the way he steals children’s hamburgers, thus preventing them from a normal, happy meal, a form of terrorism?
A. Yes… if you’re an idiot.
Q. I am an idiot.
A. Good for you.
Q. So does he also steal cheeseburgers, or just hamburgers?
A. Go away.
Q. I hear that the whole religion of Islam is just a Zionist conspiracy so that the Jews can distract us with terrorism while they steal our money.
A. Sounds logical.
Q. I also know of a conspiracy involving the Keebler elves and the Vatican.
A. You should write a newsletter.
Q. Okay, I’ve killed all the terrorists; now what do I do to put meaning into my dreary existence?
A. Go back to killing Communists. Consult the “Better Dead Than Red” FAQ.

Maybe They’ll Start Bombing Themselves… The Bastards

North Korea just keeps pissing me off more and more. They keep talking crazier and crazier and threatening us like no little weak-ass nation should ever be allowed to. But now they’re stealing our thunder. Just recently, North Korea said, “If the U.S. moves to bolster aggression troops are unchecked, the whole land of Korea will be reduced to ashes and the Koreans will not escape horrible nuclear disasters.” What! We’re the ones who are supposed to say things like that, not them. I bet Bush had a statement prepared saying, “If you North Koreans don’t stop acting dickwads, we’re going to reduce your country to ashes, foo’!” Now that speech is ruined. Man, those Norks needs some schooling soon, and it’s munitions that should be doing the teaching.
