An Idea for Airport Security

Racial profiling is bad, but I have another idea for airport security. Why don’t the airport screeners have a board up with pictures of the last ten identified terrorists. Then they can give extra screening to people who resembles those ten. That is, they’ll not be looking for people of a certain race but instead people who look “terroristy.” Maybe there will be nothing similar between the most recently identified terrorists, but then again maybe a shrewd screener will subconciously pick up on some similiarity between them — something the concious eye might miss — that he or she can use to identify other potential terrorists.
Since this won’t involve race at all, I don’t see why it would make anyone mad.
Except terrorists.

A Suggestion

At the press conference announcing Ahnuld’s endorsement of McCain, a reporter asked him the standard, “Why are our people dying in Iraq?!” question. Wouldn’t a good answer be, “If you’re so curious, why don’t you ask a soldier? They take a lot of pride in what they’re doing, and I’m sure they’d be happy to explain it to you.”
I really hate questions that are patronizing to those serving in the military and paints them as victims. I know if you ask my brother, Lt. Joe foo’ the Marine, he can explain the purpose of the military pretty well.
Except, of course, it’s kinda hard to ask since he’s in Iraq.

A Proposal

It’s a bit too early for this and we’ll see how Super Tuesday goes, but we do need to accept the reality that John McCain will most likely be our nominee. I’m considering doing a multi-part series entitled “Learning to Live with McCain.” So I guess I’m asking is if I make us some Kool-Aid, will you guys drink it?

Daily John Edwards Fabulous Facts Grand Finale

john edwards fabulous.jpgApparently my Fabulous Facts so humiliated the little pillow-biter that he quit the race and ran home crying to his mommy.
And yet I still have a big pile of Facts left.
Seems kinda pointless to keep kicking the man in his withered jubblies every day when he’s not in the race any more, so I’ll just do one more big Riverdance on his cowering form and call it a day.
I do, however, reserve the right to resurrect this feature in the horribly unlikely event that he gets the nod for VP.
Note for those who’ve suggested an Obama daily feature – it’s not ripe for happening yet. The man simply doesn’t have a mockable stereotype, since he’s just another black socialist, albeit a particularly clean and articulate one. Hillary’s got pure evil. What’s Barack got?
If he develops a personality between now and the convention – or at least gets a humiliating YouTube video posted about him – I may be able to get something going.
Meanwhile, let’s say good-bye in style to Ann Coulter’s favorite faggot:


Two Bonus Facts from Silicon Valley Jim:
John Edwards’s abrupt decision to abandon his quest for the Democrat Presidential nomination was prompted by his sudden realization that he wouldn’t be able to have either Judy Garland or Ethel Merman perform at the inaugural ball.

Just kidding. THIS will always be America’s Funniest Home Video.

So long, John, and thanks for all the comedy gold.

An Idea

We should take all the gold we have in Fort Knox and fire it off into space. That way we’ll never be tempted to do something as foolish as back our money with it.
It’s a great idea, though I hear Ron Paul opposes it. He’s a nut.
