The Best Way to Fight Terrorism is to Talk About It

I don’t know about these 9/11 hearings. I’m too suspicious of it becoming a partisan way to assign blame, and I don’t know what good is supposed to come of it. I mean, after the hearings are over, are we all going to slap our heads and go, “So that’s what we should have done!”? I say let’s focus on killing terrorists in the here in now.
Still, I thought I’d sift through the news and find some points of interest from the hearings.
THE TOP TEN POINTS OF INTEREST FROM THE 9/11 HEARINGS
10. Every time Richard Clarke was asked a question, he’d give a short answer and then face the camera and say, “But you’ll have to buy my book to get the full story.”
9. It was determined that the only way to stop terrorism is to do something about it.
8. While terrorism is now a big focus of the government, they are still ignoring the looming ninja threat.
7. There a lot of blame for 9/11 to go around, but the Clinton administration is hogging it all.
6. Senator Bob Kerrey got angry at Fox News for publishing statements by Richard Clarke. Think of that: a news organization publishing stuff that people said.
5. Condoleezza Rice wants a closed door session to respond, possibly so she can extract violent revenge in secret.
4. Heh heh. The former National Security Advisor’s name is “Sam Berger”. Does he have brother named “Cheese”?
3. Richard Clarke is adamant that, if we only were able to find out about the 9/11 plot and arrest everyone involved, we might have been able to prevent it.
2. Clinton’s search for Osama was far behind his search for poontang.
And the number one point of interest from the 9/11 Hearings…
The threat of terrorists trying their hardest to kill us all can actually be a boring topic when discussed in a committee.

The Frank J. Fan Club

Now I got some livejournal Goldberg fans against me. Stupid flying monkeys, but this has made me realize that, to compete against Jonah, I’ll need my own fan club. It’s a great idea. Everyone can go there and talk about how great I am, distribute a newsletter about my genius writing, and groupies can chat about how sexy I am. And, every so often, I can stop by and post something and everyone will be like, “Wow! The Frank J. has talked to us! We are blessed!”
Also, when I have my column ready, I can have my fans do a letter writing campaign to Rich Lowry about how Jonah should be fired and me put in his place. And it needs to happen soon; look how admittedly senile Jonah is getting.
So, one of you reading this, start a fan site for me.
NOW!
Anyway, I’ll post something tomorrow about the 9/11 hearing so I can claim to still be topical. See you then.
UPDATE: There are now two fan clubs. Here is a more straightforward one, and here is one by Amphi that is, well, what you’d expect from her 🙂
If you need pictures of me, don’t forget this one. Now I need a button for linking to fan sites. It should probably use this picture because I think it captures the best side of me.

IMAO’s Roadmap to Peace

Everyone has been talking about how blowing up Yassin and other things is screwing up the roadmap to peace, and that sounds bad. I then started figuring that maybe the roadmap that is currently too complicated if it gets messed up every time some terrorists catches a missile. Thus, I, Frank J., the super-smart, have made a much simpler roadmap to lead to peace in the Middle East.
IMAO’s Roadmap to Peace

In My World: The Way of the Defense Consultants

President Bush suddenly looked up from his desk to Condoleezza Rice. “Okay, I’ve decided to give the Israelis the go ahead to kill Yassin.”
“Uh, they already did that,” Condi answered, “and some people are pointing fingers at you saying you gave them permission.”
“But that’s a dirty lie!” Bush shouted, “Find whoever is saying that and have them killed; you have my permission.”
“We need to be more worried about Iraq right now,” Condi told him.
“That’s in secure hands,” Bush assured her.


“You’re trying to blow us up!” Buck the Marine accused the man.
“No I’m not.”
“That’s a bomb right there in your hands!”
“No it isn’t.”
“But it has lots of wires and stuff and a big part labeled ‘C4’,” Buck answered.
“Lot’s of things could be labeled C4.”
“And you’re wearing an al Qaeda t-shirt,” Buck yelled.
“It was on sale.”
Buck stared suspiciously at the man for a while. “I’m pretty sure you’re foreign, and I’m going to keep my eye on you!”


“And have you heard about Richard Clarke and all the things he has been saying about our administration?” Condi asked.
“Richard Clarke?” Bush said with confusion.
“He used to work for you,” Condi reminded him.
“Uh…”
“Had some advice on terrorism… Tried to get a talk with you on cyber terrorism…” Condi prompted.
“Oh!” Bush exclaimed, “Douche Bag! I remember him. How’s ‘ole Douche Bag doing?”
“He’s quit and he’s saying lies about us!” Condi exclaimed in frustration.
Bush thought about that for a moment. “If he quit, that means the nickname ‘Douche Bag’ is freed up.” He saw White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan walk buy. “Hey, Scott!” Bush called out, “You’re new nickname is ‘Douche Bag’!”
“Why?” Scott complained.
“Quit whining Douche Bag!” Bush answered as Scott stormed off.
“Shouldn’t we be focusing on what Clarke is saying about us?” Condi said impatiently.
Bush leaned back in his chair and sipped at some lemonade. “You need to relax Condi,” Bush told her, “This will all blow over.”
“So you aren’t worried about it affecting you’re reelection in November?” Condi asked.
Bush sprung out of his chair, dropping his lemonade. “That’s this year!” he shouted, “Holy st! I’m fked!” He scrambled to turn on the T.V. On screen was Richard Clarke giving another interview to Lesley Stahl.
“Remember, the best BS is CBS,” Stahl said, “and now we’re back with Richard Clarke. So, Clarke, the Bush administration completely bungled the War on Terror, right?”
“Yes they did,” Clarke answered, “by not following absolutely all the advice I gave them.”
“And you said their staff was incompetent?” Stahl asked.
“Correct. When I first mentioned al Qaeda to Condoleezza Rice, she appeared to not to even have heard of it.”
“How so?”
“Well,” Clarke said, thinking for a moment, “she just stared at me blankly for a few moments, a little drool came out her mouth, and then she tilted her head to the side while asking in a valley girl like voice, ‘Is al Qaeda like some sort of hair product?'”
Bush started laughing. “That sounded just like you.” He then looked at Condi who appeared ready to explode. “Uh oh.”


“Thank you for belittling the Bush administration,” Kerry said to Clarke, “You shall be rewarded in the future. For now, you will be in charge of the Heinz flying fortress which will bombard America with leaflets from above and shout my slogans through loudspeakers.”
“I am proud to serve you, my master,” Clarke answered. “To evil!” he then shouted.
“To evil!” Kerry answered. He then turned to his butler. “Jeeves, my face is sagging.”
“I’ll take care of it sir,” the Butler answered, injecting Botox into Kerry’s face.
“There, that will preserve my French-lookingness,” Kerry said with satisfaction, “Now I shall leave via helicopter.”
When Kerry turned around, he bumped into one of his Secret Service agents. “You stupid, f**king son of a bitch!” Kerry shouted.
“Geez,” the agent answered, “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t you take that tone of voice with me!” Kerry yelled, “Don’t you know who I am? My wife is rich! I served in Vietnam! My initials are the same as John Kennedy! You will show me respect!”
Kerry then stormed out of the room while the Secret Service gradually followed.
Clarke admired his flying fortress of evil and ketchup until he heard some explosions and the place began to become unstable. “What’s happening?” Clarke exclaimed.
In the room walked a ninja.
“Where are my guards?” Clarke asked.
An object skidded across the floor to Clarke’s feet. It was a Desert Eagle, the slide locked on an empty magazine.
“Who are you?” Clarke demanded.
The ninja pulled off her mask. It was Condoleezza Rice. “So this is what you have traded your soul for!” she said angrily, “Well I shall destroy it, as I shall destroy you for your calumny against me and the administration.”
Clarke laughed evilly. “You think you can take me on, little woman? There is but one jetpack to escape from here, so I guess we must settle this as all disputes between defense consultants are – by way of the samurai!” Clarke drew his katana.
“So be it,” Condi answered, drawing her sword.
They quickly clashed blades as the fortress exploded about them. Clarke was strong and had the greater reach and soon had Condi on the defensive. She kept blocking, but the sword was struck from her hand. Clarke reeled back for the killing blow, but, when he swung, Condi rolled out of the way. Clarke lost balance and tumbled towards a hole that had been blown open in the floor, he barely grabbed on to the edge keeping him from falling to the flames below.
Clarke looked up to see Condi standing above him. “Mercy!” he cried.
Condi tilted her head to the side. “Duh! What’s that?” she said before kicking him in the face.


“Is it true that the Bush administration has sunk Kerry’s flying fortress into the sea?” a reporter asked.
“It’s a presidential campaign,” Scott answered, “and sometime flying fortresses get sunk into the sea. If Kerry wasn’t prepared for that, he shouldn’t have sought the nomination.”
“Was the attack in vengeance over Richard Clarke’s remarks?” another reporter inquired.
“Clarke had said a number of things that weren’t quite true,” Scott said, “and it could only be expected that we respond with overwhelming violence.”
Melinda Hawkish of Fox News then stood up. “Now, Douche Bag…”
“You don’t have to use Bush’s nickname for me,” Scott interrupted with annoyance.
Melinda looked confused. “Bush calls you that?”

In My World: Yassin in Paradise

Yassin looked all about him at the splendor of Heaven. “Those joooos may have killed me, but now I am a martyr in Paradise!” he exclaimed. “And I can walk again! Praise Allah!” He then danced about.
There before him stood God. Yassin approached saying, “Allah, I…”
“Call me ‘sir'”, God said curtly.
“Sir, I have come for my rewards as a martyr.”
“Yeah, I like you martyrs,” God chuckled, “You guys are easy to handle.” God reached behind his podium and then produced a bowl which he handed to Yassin. “Here are your raisins.”
“Raisins?” Yassin said with confusion, “I thought I got virgins!”
“Nope, common misinterpretation,” God said, “The deal is 72 raisins for martyrdom– and you actually have 68 since I ate a few of them while you were dilly-dallying. You don’t mind sharing with the Creator of the universe, right?”
“No… I guess not.”
“Now, see that corner over there?” God asked as he pointed to a dark, dank corner nearby, “That’s where you go. I like to keep all the “martyrs” separate so you don’t talk all the time and pass notes.”
“Well, at least I can walk again,” Yassin said.
“No, you sit,” God commanded, “over in that corner and quietly eat your raisins… and try to nurse them a bit because you need to make them last all eternity.”
“What happens when they’re gone?” Yassin asked, now looking a little worried.
“You can do anything you want,” God told him, “as long as you stay in your corner, be quiet, and don’t move much.”
Dejected, Yassin walked over to his corner and sat down, staring a bit angrily at God. He then noticed a little hand pull away from his bowl of raisins.
“Ooh! Ooh!” said a monkey as it scampered off with a handful of Yassin’s raisins.
“That monkey stole some of my raisins!” Yassin shouted.
“That’s crazy talk,” God answered, “There are no monkeys in Heaven. You’re just trying to trick me into giving you more raisins. Well, the deal is 72, and that’s all you get. Now be quiet; I have someone else coming for his rewards in Heaven.”
An Israeli walked up to God. “Man, I just got blown up by a suicide bomber,” he complained.
“Sorry about that,” God said, “Those Palestinians sure love their raisins. Frankly, I spent a long time making grapes nice and tasty, and I have no idea why they want them shriveled up into little raisins. Anyway, I’ll make up your getting blown up with your rewards in Heaven.” God reached into a box. “What size t-shirt do you want.”
“I’ll take a large.”
“Here you go,” God said, handing over a t-shirt, “It says ‘Heaven: It’s a fun place to be.’ – I didn’t come up with the slogan – and that’s just the start of your rewards. Here’s a Rolex.”
The Israeli accepted the gold watch. “Wow! That’s a great watch!”
“Of course it is,” God said, “It’s a Rolex. Also, you get to pick a prize from one of the mystery boxes on that table over there.”
There was a table with three boxes marked with question marks labeled 1, 2, and 3. The Israeli studied them for a moment. “I’ll take box number three.”
God walked behind the box and carefully titled it up so he could see under. “Sorry, but there is nothing under this box… EXCEPT FOR THE KEYS TO A NEW SPORTS CAR!”
“Kickass!” the Israeli exclaimed as he took the keys, “I’m glad I picked that box!”
“Actually, they all had keys to sports cars under them,” God chuckled, “I just like doing that. Anyway, have a drive around Heaven and check out all the hotspots. Parking is free everywhere, by the way. And, if you need anything, just ask me; I’m omnipresent and you never should feel like you’re bothering me.”
“Thanks God!” the Israeli said with glee, “You’re the greatest!”
“I know,” God answered as he watched the Israeli run off.
Yassin sat in his corner and looked on the scene with anger. “That joooo got a t-shirt, a Rolex, and a sports car, and all I got was this lousy bowl of raisins.” A thought then struck Yassin. He raised his fist in the air while shouting, “Allah is a joooooo…”
A bumper slammed into Yassin, cutting him off mid “jooooooo!” “My back is broke!” Yassin screamed, “I’m a quadriplegic again!”
“Dude, I’m so sorry,” the Israeli exclaimed out the window of his sports car, “This is my first time using a stick-shift.”

Bite-Sized Wisdom: Kerry Wipes Out, Yassin Yassin Yassin, the Only Good Gorilla, and Writing Is Hard

  • Protection on the Slopes: So Kerry was skiing in Idaho (Idaho! I don’t care how much he skis; he ain’t winning that state), and then fall downs when he runs into a Secret Service agent. Then he exclaims, “I don’t fall down!” and uses and expletive to describe the Secret Service Agent. Makes him seem a wee bit haughty. And why is the Secret Service skiing with him anyway? Why can’t they just post snipers to watch Kerry? Then, if a Secret Service agent caused Kerry to crash, Kerry would have a better excuse.
    “I don’t fall; that son of a bitch shot me!”
    And then you’d hear up in the trees, “My bad.”
  • He Did What?: Did you know that Kerry served in Vietnam?
  • Permission Slips: So the Israelis kill Yassin, and some are pointing their fingers at the U.S. saying we gave the go ahead. Hey, we like the idea of other countries asking us before they do anything, but, since Israel has survived amidst people who want them dead for so long, we trust that they know what they’re doing. Kill who you want.
  • So Let Me Guess – You Want to Kill Jews: So the Palestinians are like, “Kill joooos! Kill joooos!”
    And then the Israelis kill Yassin and the Palestinians are like, “Kill joooos! Kill joooos!”
    And the news services report, “Hamas Vows to Kill Jews”.
    And it’s like, what’s changed? The Palestinians have been trying their hardest to kill Jews already, that they can’t really up the ante. I mean, the Israelis could kidnap Arafat, take him to the beach, and push him into the sea, and all the Palestinians could do is shake their tiny fists in impotent rage while shouting, “Kill joooos!”
    The only one who can realistically threaten more violence is Israel, and, if that happens, there is going to be a major virgin shortage in paradise.
  • Bail!: I heard when Yassin got hit, his brain shot right out his skull. I hope my own brain is smart enough to try and save itself like that when the time comes.
  • For Sale: One used wheelchair, slightly singed.
  • What a Dick: So this Dick Clarke character is claiming the Bush administration has bungled the War on Terror and that Condi is some retard who never heard of al Qaeda and…
    Know what, I think I’ll save that for tomorrow’s In My World™.
  • Happy Killers: Anti-depressants are a suicide risk? How does that work? Are you like really happy during plunge from the bridge?
  • New Movie Trend: So The Passion of the Christ finally lost its top spot to Dawn of the Dead. I guess the popular movies now are ones where people come back to life. I think Dawn of the Dead has a different take on it, though.
  • Monkey News I: A gorilla (scientific name gorilla gorilla) escaped from the zoo and hurt people. That’s scary! But there is a happy ending. The police shot the gorilla. Yay!
  • Monkeys News II: I’ve always said humanity will end one of two ways: robots take over (ala Terminator) or monkeys take over (ala Planet of the Apes). Well, some fool scientist is trying to combine the two. Here is what you will now be seeing in your nightmares. I think this is enough cause to put a halt to all science until we further investigate that no one is causing the destruction of humanity.
  • I Like It When People Talk About Why I’m Funny: Harvey (not the imaginary rabbit but the one who won the contest that never happened and shall not be mentioned again) analyzes one of my pieces to see why it is funny. I don’t agree with all the analysis, but that’s exactly the sort of serious piece I would like to do if I had more time. I don’t think you can actually get funnier by analyzing humor, but I just find it fun. Plus, I took a college class on the subject, so I’m super knowledgeable. Well, maybe later I’ll have some more Why Me Laugh™ pieces so we can all be scientifical.
  • Bitch Bitch Bitch: Man, I’m trying to keep up the funny here while at same time trying to write two different novels. If I add in stealing Jonah Goldberg’s job on top of my regular job, I’m really stretching myself thin. I hope you all appreciate this. Oh! And buy my t-shirts!

Speaking of National Review…

Rich Lowry never got back to me about writing a column to prove I should replace Jonah Goldberg (though, if Jonah asks you, tell him that Lowry and I are in heated discussions about what my salary should be when I replace him). I was thinking maybe I should go ahead and write the column to prove how great I am and submit it; the only problem is I don’t know what to write about. I need a topic that’s topical… but not too topical (because I don’t want to have to write it right away since I’m lazy and tired). I’ll submit it to NRO, and then everyone can e-mail Lowry asking, “Where are columns by Frank J.? We want columns by Frank J.!”
And he’ll be like, “Oh no! We need a column by Frank J. to remain ‘hip’ and ‘with it’.”
And then he’ll see that in the submissions box is a column by Frank J., and he will rejoice.
It’s an idea fiendish in its intricacies. Any idea what I should write about? Heaven forbid that NRO doesn’t use it, I’ll just post it here.

Frank Discussions: John Derbyshire

When deciding who should be my second interview, the choice was obvious. John Derbyshire is a columnist, author, mathematician, uncredited thug, general curmudgeon, and one writer at National Review I wouldn’t try and replace. He’s decidedly as non-PC as they get, and often sports controversy because of it (he once put up a math problem about monkeys and it scared me). If you haven’t been reading him, then catch up. Until then, read this interview Mr. Derbyshire graciously did over e-mail.

Mushrooms Yes? No!!!

I had made a scientific discovery some time ago, and I thought I might as well share it with the world. Back in college, I had one of those long and boring homeworks I was doing with a friend, so of course we kept stalling. He mentioned that the song “Stairway to Heaven” has a part which talks about Satan if you play it backwards. So I checked it out, and it does sound like Satan is mentioned. I eventually isolated what words sounded like Satan backwards, and it is “Yes” (it helps if there is a sort of ‘n’ sound before it, which can happen when singing). That explained to me why so many people seem to think they hear stuff about Satan when songs are played backwards.
So, that got me thinking, what lyrics would you need to have a song, when played backwards, tells people to worship Satan. The only problem was that all I could find that sounded like “worship” when played backwards was “mushrooms”. I did find an extremely innocuous phrase that is truly evil, though.
“Life is good.” backwards is “Go to hell.”
If you don’t believe, just use the basic Microsoft sound recorder and check it out. I still haven’t found a good song to trick people into worshiping Satan, but, if you ever hear the lyrics, “Yes, mushrooms, and life is good,” be wary.
Forwards.
Backwards.

Frank Answers: Female Bombers, Fascist McFascist Endorsement, Jews and Their Hot Dogs, the Military and Kerry, American Woman, Quarks, and Relativity (I Know This One!)

Sal from Chicago, IL writes:
The new terrorist bombers from the paleswinians are female. Prior to this, they kept their females for breeding purposes and only offed them for “honor” killings. They breed at a rate of X per year and used to kill themselves off at a rate of Y per year, but now, with female bombers, their breeding rate should be slower. How soon before they’re gone?
First of all, they’re “Palestinians”. There is no reason to use name calling against sub-human murderers. Secondly, the last female bomber abandoned two children when she blew herself up, thus there was no net loss. They’re wilier than you think.
Phelps, from the state of Denial, asks:
Given that John Kerry won’t say who the world leaders are who have endorsed him, what are the chances that he has secured the Fascist McFascist endoresment and doesn’t want anyone to know so that the Limey doesn’t find out and try to assassinate him by shouting Rage Against the Machine lyrics at him until Kerry cuts his own head off to escape the singing, and how are you coping with the knowledge that I totally kicked your ass in the “Win Frank’s Funny” contest even though I wasn’t an official participant? Does beer help?
As for your first question, I don’t want to answer that. Saying Kerry secured the Fascist McFascist vote sounds too much like a polemic… even if it’s true. Maybe I’ll speak up if I see him eating apricots.
As for your second question, you weren’t a participant, so you didn’t even get a chance to lose. In any fair fight, I would have beaten you and anyone else. That’s what defines “fair”.
Laurence Simon from Houston, TX writes:
I like eating Hebrew National Beef Franks.
I looked all over the grocery store but I couldn’t find the other (insert language here) National Beef Franks? No French National Beef Franks. No Spanish National Beef Franks. No Swahili National Beef Franks.
Did they all go out of business or something?

Yay! It’s Laurence! One of my first questioners (who then got me accused of blasphemy).
As for your question, haven’t you heard the jingle, “No one makes a frank like a Hebrew.”?
Actually, the real answer is less singable. While the Latin National Beef Franks and the Aramaic National Beef Franks did go out of business, the rest were destroyed by the Zionist Conspiracy (except for the French National Beef Franks which was acquire in a hostile takeover by the German National Beef Franks). We could be eating all sorts of National Beef Franks if it weren’t for the jooooos!
Sorry; I just like shouting, “Jooooos!”

I have a critical question. I’m in ROTC (scholarship, thank you very much) and am contracted, which means that as soon as I graduate from college in a few short years, I will be immediately contracted into the Army and shipped out. I have no problem with this, as I did apply to get into the program (and wasn’t drafted or anything!) My real problem is this- What if, by some strange chance, i.e. “voter problems” in Florida, we all turn socialist like the Spanish, or some other crazy thing, Kerry actually becomes President? That would mean that he’d be my Commander in Chief and I’d have to do what he says. So, in the offchance that he does pull off enough votes to beat out a real American for the position of President, should I stick with the Army and just bite my tongue (argh, superiors!) or run away to Canada like a sissy? (Hell, nevermind Canada, if I’m going to be a deserter might as well go somewhere nice… like Jamaica… I don’t know, I’ll have time to figure that out later). Thanks for any suggestions.
P.S. I’m still waiting for my free t-shirt so I can send you the pics… and if you do ever come to California, I’m here! (and so is CCinCali, and a lot of my good -younger- friends who are major fans of yours)… just throwing that out there…

I say, if Kerry gets elected, the military will need you more than ever. Democrats are always trying to turn the military into some little social club, and we need lots of right minded people (especially the large scary ones with guns) in the military to dissuade them. The military still kept it’s killing power during the Clinton years, and they can survive a John F’n Kerry.
As for your P.S., maybe I can visit my sister in Cali and say, “Hi.” I really should do a national tour just for the ladies, instead of staying here in Melbourne, Florida where there are no women and I keep growing more bitter each day.
Hey! I could do like a blogger version of The Bachelor! That’s one to file away for later…

Quarks are the smallest know unit of matter (well the top quark isn’t that small) and they make up electrons and protons and maybe neutrons. They sit on the borderline between energy and matter. If you can’t see them, then just look harder.
Keep looking!

No, because of relativity.

Oh, how does relativity work, you ask. Well, its… uh… I know I heard the answer to this before… it’s because when something going to speed of light is observed it looks the speed of light to someone both in the car and outside because… uh… Hey! What’s that over there!

Another “I’m Busy” Post

Sorry for the dearth of posting, but I’ve been really busy at work and really busy at home (stealing Jonah Goldberg’s job is harder than I thought, plus I need to finish writing question for my next interview). I’ll have some Frank Answer™ tomorrow plus something extra. Also, I’ll get to my reader e-mails this weekend (I’m not ignoring you).
BTW, John Hawkins has a list of his favorite blogs and I was disqualified. That makes me special.
Oh, and buy my t-shirts.

New From IMAO – The Martyr-Gun!

Want to kill yourself and Israelis but bombs are just too complicated?
Thought of going on a shooting spree, but worried you won’t get gunned down in the process, thus missing martyrdom and your 72 virgins?
Don’t take the risk of not getting killed. You need the IMAO Martyr-Gun™.

Yes, direct marketed from IMAO to Palestinians is the gun to made specifically for the martyr. Its smooth, quadruple-action trigger fires a bullet at both you are your target, ensuring quick and easy martyrdom at the twitch of a finger.
But that’s not all! Order the Martyr-Gun™ now and get a 73rd virgin in paradise for free! Think of how jealous all the other martyrs will be when they see you sporting one more virgin than the rest of them.
So get your Martyr-Gun™; not dying is a risk you just can’t take.
Due to a design flaw not allowing the slide to move, the Martyr-Gun™ tends to explode when fired and thus is guaranteed for only one use. If the Martyr-Gun™ fails to kill you, return all its remnants to IMAO for a full refund. IMAO and its subsidiaries (of which there are none) are not responsible if your religious views are crock and you are actually sent to hell upon death.
