Better hurry up and get the new site up! People in their pajamas are going to be swarming all over this place! Now don’t let IMAO Ronin unstick your tongue from your cheek!
“I thought I was reading “The Onion”.”
That was quite a compliment; many of the talented writers there are National Lampoon alumni.
A good piece, with your usual blend of tongue-in-cheek dry humor and interesting observations.
LOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what timing! we just started reading the original Modest Proposal in my 11th grade english class… [The title wasn’t my idea. I’d rather be compared to Dave Barry than Swift.
Swift wasn’t really laugh-out-loud funny. -Ed.
Ok, that article made so much sense it was a bit scary. So, here’s the plan. We vote for McCain/Palin – face it, there has to be some cost to getting a hot VP who can shoot an M-16 and that price is named McCain. Then in four years we get the Palin/Petraeus ticket. Successfully governing foreigners is one thing, but successfully kicking foreigner ass is another. Also, we could tell everyone we’re voting for PP, then run away giggling like schoolgirls.
Has anyone read the 9th and 10th amendments to the U.S. Constitution lately?
We actually have 50 countries (the other 7 don’t count) that people could try to run and build up their resume. Of course, they don’t get to do neat things such as coin money or launch missle attacks against their neighbors. But, hey, when is the last time you were able to hire someone who fit every last critereon specified in the job description? No, you hire the best fit that you can find, and hope they can fill in the holes on-the-job.
A quick look at recent history – Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Roosevelt – Hmmmm, electing Governors seems to be kind of hit-or-miss. Based on that, I’ll have to take a pass on your Modest Proposal.
Actually, Swift isn’t funny at all, except maybe if you like one of the lesser Three Stooges scenes where they take turns poking each others’ eyes and hitting each other with bricks.

HAHAHAHA! Those scenes are classic.
I love the Three Stooges.
And Whacked Out Sports.

SRSLY, you need to get off this server, I can only get to the comments section 10% of the time now-a-days.
Nice going Mr. Fleming. I look forward to all that you write.
Very interesting. Almost as good of an idea as Nuking the Moon, but I might want to visit the Moon someday.

Gov. Palen did a decent job as Alaska’s executive, let’s elect her.
Palen/McCain ’08
Congratulations!
I checked out some of the other posts and comments.
You seem to be in good company there.
Classic!!

You truly have a gift, Mr. J.
