Zarqawi’s Death Is Merely a Distraction from the Fact that We Have Yet to Capture and Kill Kofi Annan
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 There is much celebration just because we dropped a bomb on the insignificant terrorist Zarqawi. Are we really safer, though? Can we now walk the streets at night without a care? Can we ride a bobcat with a saddle on it without fear of being mauled? No. Zarqawi’s death changes nothing, because the real evil mastermind is still out there plotting against America and issuing statements against us and Israel with impunity as our government does nothing to stop him. Well, I won’t cheer because one goofball terrorist is pig-feed; I will only feel safer when Kofi Annan is finally dead.

“After the panic comes the resolve – the resolve to hunt and kill Kofi Annan.”

 Kofi Annan is, as I type, actively working to overthrow America. He heads a large international organization – known only by its initials “U.N.” – of likeminded thugs. They debate how to destroy us and our ally Israel, releasing videotapes of their vicious statement against us with impunity. Why can’t we find them and stop them? Is there even a search for their headquarters? No. I suspect politics has something to do with it. Al Qaeda is the hot topic now, and I suspect many fear the “U.N.” and its mastermind Kofi Annan. Maybe, some even sympathize with this criminal organization. I’ve heard rumors from respected sources that, during this War on Terror, Kofi Annan has even been able to infiltrate American soil, giving speeches and making recruits right under our noses!

 Did you know these enemies of America and democracy even have their own military, and it only will grow until we finally make some effort against them? Also, they have cells in hundreds of countries – including, if rumors are true – a huge base of operations in the U.S. Are you scared? I know I am. This is far more than a few suicide bombings we have to worry about; these people could seriously undermine America’s power abroad. Maybe that’s why we don’t have a public campaign against them; the government fears it could panic the average American if it publicized these facts. Well, Mr. President, I think it’s time we do panic. The panic is unavoidable, but after the panic comes the resolve – the resolve to hunt and kill Kofi Annan.

 Will the death of Kofi Annan mean the destruction of the “U.N.”? No, but it will demoralize his followers if he is killed and we show proof of his death. I bet many people would leave the organization out of fear when they know America is fully committed to destroy it. Then we can start to destroy “U.N.” cells in other countries. And, if rumors are true of an American headquarters, we should be able to find and destroy that, helping American sleep in peace at night.

 There is no time to waste, though. The “U.N.” and the vile Kofi Annan want to undermine us and our allies. They think they can destroy us and will move towards that goal. We must destroy them first, paving the way for peace so we can ride the bobcat of security into the horizon of our future.

It’s Too Soon for a Movie About Snakes on a Plane
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 Hollywood has always ran in conflict with the values of decent, Christian Americans, with its glorification of promiscuity, vulgarity, violence, and “alternate lifestyles.” Now, the twisted left-wingers who run Hollywood have declared an open war on Middle America with a summer movie that spits in the eye of anyone who cares for his fellow man. The movie, titled Snakes on a Plane, contains the frank depiction of snakes on a plane. The weirdoes in Hollywood may think this makes for entertainment, but, after less than 103 years since the invention of the plane, less than 58 years since the birth of Samuel L. Jackson, and less the 100 million years since the creation of snakes, it is just too soon for a movie combining the three.

“I want these THISISSPAMTHISISSPAMane at least temporarily. Then there is the constant and often realized threat of a cougar escaping from the cargo hold. We just take it for granted that, when you fly coach cross-country, there is a significant chance you will die a brutal death. Thus, the last thing we need is to be reminded of the snakes that could be possibly slithering near our feet as we enjoy some mini-pretzels with a small cup of Coke.
 We all know there can be – and probably are – snakes on planes. Is there even one reader of this editorial who hasn’t lost a friend or relative to lethal snake bites while he or she was on a plane? Probably a few of you have barely survived on-flight snake attacks yourselves. Thus, it is such a galling insensitivity of the Hollywood elite (who fly in their snake-free first class) to think that snakes on a plane actually passes as entertainment. As someone who once fell asleep on a flight to wake with a boa constrictor trying to crush me, I can tell you it is not entertaining at all.

 And think about the snakes. After being used as a vessel of Satan to damn man from paradise – a story recounted in a best-selling book and known to every American – snakes have worked hard to overcome bad publicity. Just when they thought they had finally reached a point where they can live in harmony with the rest of America, now comes a movie once again depicting them as the villains. Did Hollyweird even consider the backlash against snakes – the majority of whom would never harm anyone and actually benefit society by controlling the rodent population? No, the left-coast only cares about a few cheap thrills and the millions of dollars they can make through exploiting tragedy.

 At least there is some wisdom in Samuel L. Jackson’s already famous line from the movie: “I want these THISISSPAMTHISISSPAMane.

 Or add a Chuck Norris cameo.

America Has Too Many Citizens
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 The other day, I saw some weird thing I didn’t understand. It was some electronic thing with blinking lights. I smashed it with a bat. You may say, “Hey, Frank, you shouldn’t have been so quick to smash that with a bat. You should have waited to find out what that was; it could have been a good thing.” To which I say, “Hey, Pollyanna, it also could have been a bad thing that could have destroyed us all. All I know for certain was that I didn’t understand it, so I smashed it with a bat. That’s my policy.” There are some things, though, that I don’t understand but am unable to smash with a bat. Like, I don’t understand why America has so many citizens. So, when I can’t understand something but also can’t smash it with a bat, I write an editorial. In a way, editorials are my bats to smash concepts I don’t understand, and, in this case, why America has so many citizens is the electronic thing with blinky lights that needs to be smashed.

“With each revision, I get a longer period of non-murderous fruit-picking.”

 Do you know how many citizens America has? Hundreds of millions. That’s a lot of people. To put it in a concept easier to grasp, think of one man standing in an auditorium. Now, think of a hundred million times that. And think of some of them as Mexican. That’s scary!

 Every day, the best and brightest of other countries come to America to be citizens, but, at the same time, we don’t throw out our worst and dumbest. Why? Well, everyone who is born in America gets citizenship automatically. I know; it’s not like being born is such an accomplishment (well, it’s a bit harder since Roe v. Wade), but, still, that’s all you have to do and you’re here forever even if you’re a moron and you suck. That’s not right. Everyone should have to prove his or her citizenship.

 Of course, I would easily get citizenship. I work hard, I am super-smart, and I know how to use firearms; I’m the model every citizen should follow. I’m even working on making robots to pick fruit so we don’t need illegal aliens to do that. So far, they all eventually go on murderous rampages, but, with each revision, I get a longer period of non-murderous fruit-picking. Anyway, I could not understand how anyone could think I should not be a citizen. In fact, I would smash such a person with a bat.

 So, smart people who design fruit-picking robots should be citizens, but smelly hippies who whine about America should not. For each immigrant we take, we should deport at least three hippies. Other countries may not like us forcing them to take our wretched refuse, but that’s why we have a whole military designed to kill foreigners. They can make countries like whatever we want them to like.

 So let’s make a better country by being more discriminate about our citizens. First thing, let’s revoke everyone’s citizenship, including especially Congress’s. Then, everyone has to prove their worth or be deported to whatever country we’re currently bullying. It may not be Constitutional, but the Supreme Court will have their citizenship revoked too, so the point is moot.

I Imagine a World Without Borders
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 Everyone seems to be so worried about our borders these days, and I’m like, “Chill, dude.” Borders are a concept of ancient times when people were totally uncool and all wanted to kill each other. We’ve matured past such attitudes and should stop getting all bent out of shape over a few people sneaking into our country and instead focus on becoming a world with no borders.

“Mexicans just want to do the job Americans won’t do, and, when we have their population at gunpoint, they’ll also do the jobs they don’t want to do.”

 First, lets get rid of all the border agents and tell the Minutemen to calm down and just have a barbecue or something. If Mexicans want to come over here, whatever. And, if we want to go to Mexico, that’s cool too. And, if the Americans who come over happen to be armed soldiers who then terminate all the officials in the Mexican government, so what. Let’s not “freak out” over it because “freaking out” is for people still hung up on the archaic concept of “borders.” Mexicans just want to do the job Americans won’t do, and, when we have their population at gunpoint, they’ll also do the jobs they don’t want to do for the promise of one meal a day and a cot to sleep on. Some might kick a soccer ball at us in protest, but soon everyone in Mexico will grow to love the idea of no borders… or else.

 And let’s stop pretending that our border with Canada means anything. Canadians really are just part of America, aren’t they? If we want free maple syrup, then I’m sure they’ll give us free maple syrup before we’re forced to shoot them. Since we’ll be part of one society with no borders, they’ll be happy to get rid of their socialized health care to pay the “Because You’re Canada” tax. They’ll welcome the Americans who roam Quebec in mobs, burning down any building that has a sign in French, because you know what that is? It’s progress.

 But why keep this progressive concept of ending borders to our hemisphere? Know who has a big problem with borders? The Middle East. We can finally bring peace there by annulling all borders. There will be some resistance, and some bombs may have to be used – and some of those bombs may involve fission – but peace will triumph. Then the new borderless Middle East will mean cheap oil for all… and by all I mean America. The complications of the initial debordering may mean a lack of local labor for the oil pumping now, but we can get more labor from elsewhere like Europe, which has far too many borders. The French youth are always complaining about lack of work, but we’ll have some nice 100 hour a week jobs getting us crude. No, there won’t be paid over time. There might not even be paid regular time… but why focus on that when we’re moving to a borderless utopia?

 Eventually we’ll have no borders, and the new American Empire will have nothing but peace for all, because anyone not being peaceful will be shot. Thus, everyone will be happy. And what’s not to be happy about? No borders means no wars and no need for walls to limit us. There will be a heavily guarded wall around the Imperial Capital to keep intellectuals like me from having to interact with the common folk, but let’s not split hairs. Anyway, I’ll be busy designing robots to eventually do all the labor, and then the unskilled workers can be converted to robots fuel. That’s the future we are heading towards, and nothing can stop it.

 Unless, of course, you want to be a weenie and have enforceable borders.

Gitmo Must Be Shut Down
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 Our detention facility at Guantanamo Bay is a disaster. Located in tropical Cuba, it’s nothing but a fun park for terrorists. As Sen. Durbin pointed out a while ago, they even get free rap music and air conditioning. This is not how we should treat our enemies; it gives them hope. A proper detention facility should crush the spirits of the imprisoned, leaving them hollow shells of their former selves. Where can we send them that is so desolate that its very location will cause the prisoners to wail and gnash their teeth? New Jersey? Perhaps, but I have an even better idea: Antarctica.

“A proper detention facility should crush the spirits of the imprisoned leaving them hollow shells of their former selves.”

 Orginally, Australia was used by the British as a penal colony, and, as a result, a great vacation spot is overrun with filthy thieves wearing hats adorned with crocodile teeth. If only the British had sailed further south they would have found an even better prison from which there is no escape. Once again, Britain’s folly is our gain. All we need to do now is send some military engineers down there to construct the greatest prison of all: Camp Despair.

 The first things terrorists will see when they enter Camp Despair will be a large sign saying, “ALLAH HAS ABANDONED YOU!” Then, they will see a sign pointing straight into the ground labeled, “Mecca.” Each prisoner will be given a new Koran and prayer rug with the warning, “That rug will be your only blanket. Also, I’d take good care of that Koran because it will be the only kindling you get to keep you warm. Muh ha ha ha!” And, know what’s the best part of a prison in Antarctica? It’s too cold for anyone to come and inspect and complain about prisoner treatment! The only ones who might cause trouble are the scientists around there, but any self-respecting Marine should be able to slap them around.

 Now, I know what you may be thinking: Won’t the penguins come and cheer up the terrorists? Don’t worry; snipers will be positioned around the camp to shoot any penguins that come near, and Morgan Freeman will narrate their ignominious deaths. In addition, the exterior of the camp will be patrolled by angry polar bears. I know they aren’t native to Antarctica, but they can be shipped there. And while they’re being transferred, people will slap the bears in the face and imply that they’re gay to make them extra angry.

 As you can see, there is no downside to creating Camp Despair. So let’s stop coddling our captured terrorists. To Antarctica with them!

Oy! Enough with the Blowing People Up Already!
An Editorial by Allah

Posted by on

 People are always telling me, “Hey, Allah, you should write another book. All the books you’ve written before were very popular; I’m not sure if anyone actually read the whole megillah, but everyone has to have one.” It’s not like I’m out to make some gelt, though, and I thought I already wrote everything I need to say. Plus, it’s not like I have the time to write; if you could even understand how much I have to do each day, you’d plotz. Still, I thought it would be a real good chochmeh to write a column to go over a few points since so many people seem to have some facacta ideas these days.

“Yeah, I know I’m great, but know who’s not so great? You schmucks.”

 So, the other day, I’m watching over things, and everything is going well until some deli gets blown up. And I’m all ferklempt. What’s happening here? Some poor schlemazel stops in for a nosh and he gets blown up for that? And the Palestinian noodniks are kvelling over this? Oy! So the schmendrick responsible blew himself up too, and he’s smiling like it’s some real koontz he just did. So I ask, “What’s wrong with you?”

 An know what he says? He says he thought I wanted this. Oy Gevalt! So I ask him what meshungina told him I wanted all this tumul. He tells me, “Mohammed.”

 Mohammed! Like that’s some help. There are so many Mohammeds these days that even I have trouble keeping track. I need this like I need a loch in kopp. So I tell him to draw me picture of this particular Mohammed so I know exactly what schlemiel we’re talking about.

 And he say no! Can you believe that chutzpah? The one true God asks him for a little doodle, and he says no. Then I finally realize what Mohammed he’s talking about, the one with the real pisk on him. Oy Veyzmir! I warned that groyse macher when he wrote his Koran to be careful, because people are going to take that thing seriously. But did he listen? Now all these people are running around with these cacamaimey ideas that they can get 72 virgins by blowing themselves up on buses. What? Are they so furblungit they think I have the playboy mansion up here? That I’m going to say to them, “Mazel tov on blowing up that preschool. Now here are some shikses for you to fool around with.”

 I don’t want to kibbutz, but some of these Muslim boychiks seem a bit sexually frustrated. What these nebbishes need to do is change out of those shmatas their wearing, clean the schmootz off their faces, not act like some chazzer, and meet some gezuntah moyyd. They have to get over this killing everybody idea, because that is not going to impress the women if that’s what they want.

 Now, these Muslims can be some nice people. They pray five times a day, and I’m always telling people, “Hey, you need to pray more. And, while you’re at it, call your mother. She wants to hear from you too.” I don’t quite get the facing Mecca part, but you have to face something, I guess. Just remember who you’re praying to; Mecca may have its own McDonalds, but it didn’t create the universe.

 Anyway, I’d rather some of these Muslim noodniks focus a bit less on the praying and a bit more on the not killing. It’s not only bad for those involved, but it’s certainly not making me look good. What’s this shtick about blowing up some nice people and then shouting, “Allah ackbar!”? Hok me a chinik! Yeah, I know I’m great, but know who’s not so great? You schmucks. So enough with the blowing people up already.

We Need a War for Oil
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 I filled up my SUV this weekend, and, after seeing the bill, my immediate reaction was, “Someone must die for this!” After a little thought, I knew who should die: foreigners. Foreigners with oil.

 We need a war for oil.

“If our military can’t keep us from being forced to drive gay little cars, then what exactly are all these gasoline taxes going towards?”

 Supposedly, our previous incursion into the Middle East were about oil, but it hasn’t looked that way. Unlike all this establishing democracy hooey, a real war for oil would follow a much simpler mission plan: We go in, we kill lots of people, and we take all the oil. Also, we would know for certain when the mission is accomplished; if we have all the oil, we’re done.

 Would it just be easier to drive a hybrid instead of having all this killing? No, it wouldn’t, because hybrids are gay. If our military can’t keep us from being forced to drive gay little cars, then what exactly are all these gasoline taxes going towards? You better not tell me poor people, because I did not get an SUV to help the poor. It should be obvious that our military must be deployed with the sole purpose of stealing all the oil worth getting our hands on. It is a risk of lives, but I risk lives everyday I drive my SUV anyway.

 Now, there are a number of ways to take all that oil. My suggestion is to make big tripod robots like in War of the Worlds, but they’ll suck oil out of the ground instead of blood out of people (cars don’t run on blood). This may be a bit too extravagant, though. The simplest idea is too simply rush towards the oil fields in tanks killing everyone we see and then securing the oil fields with big walls and minefields and signs that say, “Americans Only.” We’ll then airlift the oil so we don’t have to deal with any people around there. You may be worried that children could step on the landmines, but I’m not since I hate children. Getting blown up will teach them to be small and dumb. I hope monkeys step on mines too.

 Will America stealing all the oil in the Middle East anger the people there? Of course, but who cares. Since we’ll have all their oil, they won’t have any gasoline to get near us. What are they going to do? Fill a truck with bombs, put it in neutral, and push it towards us? That’s pathetic. The most they’ll do is get as close to our walled in oil fields and shout epithets at us. Then we can shout back, “Don’t you guys have anything better to do? Like losing a war to tiny country full of Jews?”

 So there is what needs to be done. I want war war war until gas is down to a buck a gallon, and I’m the taxpayer, so I get what I want. People didn’t need to die for this, but a bunch of Muslims didn’t need to live where all our oil is either.

The Only Strategically Viable Option Right Now Is to Construct a Death Star
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 America has tried many things to get a strategic advantage over its enemies – stealth fighters, missile defense, bombs that cause a place to be swarmed with monkeys – yet we are still threatened by insurgents, Iran, and poofy-haired Koreans. Given an honest assessment of the global situation, it should be obvious to everyone that we should construct a Death Star.

 “That’s no moon! That’s a space station!” people will exclaim, soon followed by them saying, “Wait; that’s just the moon.” That’s because they won’t see us construct the Death Star since we will do it behind the moon. No one will find out about our plans since, after we claimed ownership of the moon by putting our flag on it, we also put up a “Trespassers Will Be Shot” sign. You may wonder if we currently have the scientific capabilities to make a planet-destroying space station. This is a legitimate concern, but I’m pretty sure we know how to construct a large metal sphere, so we might as well start with that while we figure out the giant laser. I’m pretty sure that part involves the noble gas argon or something, but I’ll have to look that up. The other concern people might have is, unlike the movie version, will we install railings along the numerous bottomless pits in our giant space station? While it is a legitimate safety issue, this would add an estimated 0.01% to the cost, so it would have to be run by the DOD budget committee.

“Now, people of the world, dance for our amusement. DANCE!”

 OSHA compliant or not, when our Death Star is complete, we will then move it out from behind the moon into view of all. It will probably be a good idea to have a big American flag painted on the front before we do this as we don’t want Argentina claiming it’s their Death Start and threatening everybody. Once our new weapon is in view of all, the President should then come on TV and explain it to everyone. “We have constructed a planet-destroying space station for the purpose of peace. We, the great United States of America, swear we will only use it for the betterment of all mankind. Now, people of the world, dance for our amusement. DANCE!”

 The question arises of what should we use our Death Star on. Its purpose is to destroy planets, but the only planet of any strategic interest is Earth where there happens to be all our cities and football stadiums. Thus, we probably don’t want to blow that up. We could hit another planet to demonstrate our power, though, and I think the best candidate is Venus. Even though it is closer than Mars, no one is proposing a mission to Venus because that planet just sucks too much. Also, Venus is about the same size as Earth, so, if we blow it up, people will believe we also have the ability to blow up Earth if so angered. I say, soon after we unveil our super-weapon, we blow up Venus so people understand we have a fully-operational Death Star. The President can go on TV and say, “Your ‘morning star’ is no more. Now, make sure you all act in the interest of America and nothing else will have to meet an unfortunate demise.”

 The world should be scared into being peaceful for a while, but eventually some nutty little nation is going to try our patience. The President should then announce, “America has been angered! Fire up the Death Star!” As the super-laser is charging, everyone should quiet down. Then we can cancel the firing and the President will say, “We have decided not to destroy the Earth… for now.” This should work four to six times until people are convinced we’re bluffing. Then we’ll have to be more active such as firing lasers that just barely miss the Earth and maybe blowing up the moon in our anger. After years of peace, at some point, though, people will just get used to the idea of a giant space station floating above them and no longer be scared that we’ll actually do anything. When this happens, our only choice will be to come up with a new weapon to threaten our enemies with or to actually blow up the Earth.

 But we can cross that bridge when we reach it. Begin construction of the Death Star!

The Solution to the Immigration Problem with Mexico Is a Communist Overthrow
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 Many people are trying to sneak out of Mexico into America. This is very understandable, because, if someone suddenly threw me in Mexico, I would probably sneak in here too. I’m not good with geography, so I don’t know what country is south of Mexico and would be scared to sneak over there… as I bet are many Mexicans! The only problem is that America is just not set up to deal with that many Mexicans. Mexico has dealt with large numbers of Mexicans for a long time now and are simply better prepared for that. So how do we stop so many people coming here from Mexico?

“Your country sucking isn’t enough to get refugee status.”

 The main idea is to improve conditions in Mexico so people aren’t so desperate to leave, but let’s think outside of the box for a minute. What if we made things worse in Mexico? You’d think that would cause more people to flee, but not if we make it bad enough.

 Now, I’ve known many immigrants in my day, and they were all smart, hard-working people… people we’re glad to steal from other countries. Those immigrants were all from China, Cuba, Vietnam, or the former Soviet Union. So what is similar with those countries? Yes, they’re all Communist. If Communism has taught us anything, it’s that it makes great American immigrants.

 Communist countries really suck, but they also won’t let people leave. Everyone is supposed to love their stupid “dictatorship of the proletariat” or they’ll be executed. Since it’s so hard to leave those countries, only the smartest, most determined people will make it out alive. And what happens when they come here through improper channels? They’re declared “refugees” because they’re escaping oppression. Mexicans are just escaping a sucky country, and your country sucking isn’t enough to get refugee status. But, if you’re country was Communist, hey, let’s help set you up in America, you poor bastards.

 So, obviously, overthrowing the Mexican government and replacing it with a Communist regime is a super fantastic idea. Now, how to do that isn’t exactly my expertise, but maybe you Mexicans should just start talking about the dissolution of private property and hopefully hotter heads will prevail. When you strike, I’d recommend doing it during siesta because no one will expect it. If Vicente Fox gets all angry as you execute him for being part of the bourgeois, just remind him that he had supported the plight of illegal immigrants in the past, and this is what needs to be done.

 When it’s all over, we should have a nice Communist dictatorship south of us closed to the outside world, and, if that doesn’t solve a ton of problems, I don’t know what can.

It’s Civil War: Time to Withdraw!

Posted by on

As I turn off my television set, those images of mindless violence have become seared, seared into my mind. I watch those scenes of mayhem as young men fight against each other, then smash windows and set vehicles on fire. Sure, we went in under the guise of liberating a country, but now as it descends into what clearly appears to be a civil war, we have to look into our collective soul and ask ourselves:
Is It Time for the United States to Withdraw from France?
Was it reasonable to think we could take this country and instill in them our American values?
In America, our people riot for good reasons such as victories by our favorite sports teams. In France, young people riot because the government refuses them the right to complete job security. So they set about burning, looting, thrashing, and asking themselves a very important questions such as: “Why can’t they offer us more money?” and “When will people respect our decisions?” and the really important one-: “I wonder if I can put this on my resume?”
This highlights an important difference in cultural mindset.
America has always been that shining light upon the hill, and sometimes we thought that France could follow our example. For a while, we thought they were, except it turns out that their shining light on the hill was really a burning Renault.
Right now, many French labor unions are on strike: transportation workers, teachers, and government workers. That is their right: every employee, by law, is allowed 7 paid days for general social mayhem.
And that leads us to an important point: The French see the concept of work completely different than America does. Here in America, we value honesty, integrity, and hard work more than we value anything else: especially personal gain. Witness the success of American firms such as WorldCom, Arthur Andersen, and, most recently, General Motors.
Sure we take time off around here: we get two weeks vacation, and a few special holidays. In France, most workers get six weeks of paid vacation. Additionally, they enjoy many special holidays such as: Day of the Worker, Recovery Day from Day of the Worker, Ramadan, Jerry Lewis’ Birthday (which they celebrate happily and loudly) the birthday of Marcel Marceau (which for some reason they celebrate quietly), and a special holiday called Lundi.
Now France is burning, nobody is working, and President Chirac’s polling numbers are so bad that President Bush called him asking, “Which country did YOU invade?!”
So let us leave France to fight this civil war that, I’m sure, we can only blame on America. We demand the immediate withdrawal of American troops before more French cars are lost. Let France, under the guidance of Secular Providence and Shariah law, rebuild itself. Sure, one day they might buckle under to the Muslim youth, but at least they can face them head on and repeat the words of the famous Marcel Marceau when they say: ” ”
Let these young people have the lifetime employment they deserve. Many of them don’t do windows, but that’s okay. At this point: there aren’t that many windows left.

Who Will Pick the Beans?
An Editorial by Frank J.

 Many people are for deporting all the illegal immigrants, but none of those people seem prepared to answer the fundamental question: Who will pick the beans?

 We are a country, a country of many beans in need of picking. But I am not going to pick those beans. You are not going to pick those beans. That leaves only the illegal immigrants left to pick our beans. Those beans will not pick themselves – that is a scientifically established fact. While self-picking beans are being genetically engineered, they have so far killed many goats in tests – not because the beans are poison, but because the bean plants killed and ate the goats. So, while we may strive towards a utopia of self-picking beans, it will turn into a dystopia if we live in constant fear of being killed and eaten by bean plants.

“Those beans will not pick themselves – that is a scientifically established fact.”

 So, since the beans will not pick themselves without great danger to humanity, who will pick them when the illegal immigrants are gone? Some say prisoners should pick those beans; if you commit a crime, then you are sentenced to a life of bean picking. But do we really want prisoner beans? Prisoners are by their nature thieves and thus will steal our beans (or assault them). This is not a solution at all.

 Can monkeys be trained to pick the beans? I don’t care if they can, because I will not eat beans picked by filthy monkeys. Monkeys should be locked in cages and kept away from our precious beans.

 Other suggest robots be made to pick the beans, but it would take quite advanced robots to be know the intricacies of bean picking. Such robots will inevitably turn on us, and we will not be able to stop them. Robots are made of metal, and shooting them will do no good. Soon, we will be their slaves, and then we will all have to pick the beans for the robots’ evil purposes.

 So, while some may say we should just deport all the illegal immigrants, they are only giving half the solution to the problem unless those people also have an answer for who will pick the beans. Actually, it’s less than half the solution because, as a wise man once said, 90% of life is picking beans, and only 10% is getting into America illegally.

Anyone Touching or Standing Near a Foreign Flag Must Be Shot
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 When I saw on the news that people were marching in Los Angeles and waving Mexican flags, my first reaction was, “Oh no! The Mexicans are invading! Where is the national guard to shoot all these people?”

 It ends up, though, that this was allowed since it was considered “free speech.” That’s crazy. Free speech is for Americans, and these people were holding Mexican flags and thus declaring their allegiance with Mexico. Anyone who waves a foreign flag in America is obviously declaring war on us and must be shot.

 “What about St. Patrick’s Day?” you might ask.

 Well, obviously not on that day, but any other day a foreign flag means war against America, and the people possessing the flags or near them must be shot before we get all invaded. As we learned from Iraq, it’s hard to root out people once they’re hidden in a society.

 “But isn’t waving a foreign flag just showing a little cultural pride?” you might say.

“If someone is so proud of a country, then go there and wave its flag.”

 That’s extra crazy! If someone is so proud of a country, then go there and wave its flag. If those people were so proud of Mexico, why don’t they just go back to Mexico and improve it so it’s someplace everyone doesn’t want to flee from. The people marching here waving Mexican flags obviously have no pride in Mexico since they fled that country and want to declare war on us out of frustration.

 “What about Jews with Israeli flags to show support of that country? Should we shoot them?”

 Of course not. Jews have a Zionist conspiracy and will shoot you right back. Use some common sense. I doubt the Mexicans have any such conspiracy or they wouldn’t need to flee their country for below minimum wage jobs.

 Then again, it could be the biggest conspiracy ever!

 “How about Cubans in Florida and all their flags?”

 That’s a completely different situation. Those people are refugees since their country went all Commie. Don’t you have any sympathy for the plight of others?

 “Well, what about Puerto Ricans?”

 Puerto Rico is part of America, dumbass… or, at least I think it is. Anyway, do some research before shooting anyone.

 “This sounds like white supremacy propaganda.”

 That’s ignorant. If my stance was “shoot Latinos,” that’s what I’d title this piece. I’m for shooting anyone of any race waving foreign flags in America. If there are any white people waving Mexican flags, I’d shoot them too. Actually, I’d shoot them first because that is kinda suspicious.

 “What about shooting people at Italian restaurants? Those usually have Italian flags.”

 The mob usually handles shooting those places up, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

 “Then how about Mexican restaurants?”

 Not if they’re any good. Do you know how hard it is to find good Mexican food where I live in Florida?

 “Should Americans waving American flags in foreign countries be shot?”

 Don’t be stupid. Everyone in the world should have pride in America; the only reason the world is not all exploded is because of us. Anyone who shoots someone with an American flag should be shot and also all those around the person should be shot.

 “What if someone is in America and holding a foreign flag to burn it?”

 Again, use common sense. Burning a foreign flag in America is completely acceptable. But, if you see someone waving a foreign flag and you call him on it and he pulls out a lighter and says, “I was just about to burn it,” that person is both foreign and a liar and should be shot twice.

 “What caliber should we be shooting people with?”

 Now you’re just asking dumb questions; use whatever is available.

 “Hey, don’t yell at me. I’m just your own Socratic method of having a conversation with yourself.”

 You’re stupid. On second thought, don’t shoot anyone because I don’t think you’re responsible enough to handle a gun. Instead, just break the kneecaps of anyone with a foreign flag using a baseball bat. The point is, America is a great country with a nice flag, and we don’t want people marching around here with their foreign flags declaring war on us. That’s just common sense, and this country could use more common sense and more shooting people with foreign flags.

It’s Possible for a Religion to Thrive Without the Threat of Murder
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 At worship on Sunday, a man stood up and asked for forgiveness for his sins. I said we should murder him for his transgressions, but I was shouted down. Later, it was noted that someone was no longer in attendance, and it was suggested that we contact him and pray for him. I asked that, if he won’t come back to our religion, should we behead him and cut him to pieces. I was told, “No.”

 “Well, what about kneecapping him?” I inquired. They answered that Jesus would be against that. When I asked why we care what Jesus thinks, they just said they’d pray for me and seemed to ignore me after that.

 So I turned to my lovely and talented wife SarahK and asked, “What is this crazy religion you keep dragging me to? It has all these rules about not doing fun stuff because they’re ‘sins,’ but how do they expect to keep people in line without the threat of murder?”

 “You shut up, goofy-goof, or I won’t make you cookies tonight,” SarahK answered.

“I’ve seen enough action movies to know this is the part where Jesus finally snaps, pulls out his dual .45s, and takes out everyone in need of a kill’n. I was wrong.”

 I decided to get the bottom of this. Luckily, the teachings of Jesus – The Bible – were available for free on the internet, and no one was threatening to sue the sites for revealing the secrets of Christianity. Now, people were always getting right in the Jesus guy’s face, so I knew he’d eventually wreak vengeance on his enemies. But I searched for “strangle,” “behead,” and, “kick to the crotch” and couldn’t find Jesus using any violence to get people doing what he told them. Then, I finally stumbled upon a passage where Jesus flips out in a temple and starts knocking over tables. I’ve seen enough action movies to know this is the part where Jesus finally snaps, pulls out his dual .45s, and takes out everyone in need of a kill’n. I was wrong. He doesn’t kill anyone – not even a gut punch. Eventually, he gets killed without even putting up a fight. Seriously, Michael Bay couldn’t do a thing with this story.

 So how did Christianity get started? I assumed next came Jesus’ followers avenging their leader’s death and getting people to follow them at spear point. Nope. They just hid from those trying to kill them while peacefully building up followers.

 And this religion is still around two thousand years later?

 I know; it’s weird. Most people are used to religion only working if death is threatened; why else would one want to follow a bunch of restrictive rules if there isn’t any danger that you’ll be cut to pieces? Apparently, Christianity uses this whole “salvation” thing to attract people – the carrot instead of the stick. So, if I get things right, I can sin and blaspheme all I want – swearing, doing drugs, and fornicating – and no one will murder me.

 SarahK informed me that this was incorrect, as she would murder me, but she herself would be sinning. So, not only is murder in support of Christianity not encouraged, it itself is a sin. This wasn’t always well known, though, and some people long long ago murdered people for not being Christians. That causes problems today, as people will say, “While other religions murder people now, some people a hundred million years ago murdered people in the name of Christianity, so Christianity is just the same.”

 And you might respond, “But that was very long ago and went against the principles of Christianity and thus is condemned.”

 And the person will rebut, “Yes, but I’m a moral retard who equivocates everything. As far as I’m concerned, A is the same as Z.”

 And there is no response to that.

 So, not only is murder completely condemned by Christianity, the fact that anyone would murder in the name of Christ is considered harmful to the religion.

 Despite these insane, murder-phobic beliefs, Christianity still seems to thrive. “Good living” and “salvation” apparently is enough to keep people faithful to a religion. Actually, it makes one wonder that, if “not being murdered” is the main selling point of your religion, maybe you should rethink the whole thing.

We Need Some Sort of Law to Shut Up Those People Complaining About Their Speech Being Opressed
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 Running a fascist state is harder than you think; in fact, most fascist states fail within the first decade. That’s why I feel it important to point out obvious failings of the new fascist America to help keep it healthy and oppressive. The most blatant (and loud) problem right now is the improper silencing of dissenters.

 Honestly, my only experience with fascism is voting for Bush twice, but here is what I’ve observed. Obviously, speech is being oppressed, because we are constantly (and annoyingly) being told by liberals that their rights are being taken away and that dissent is being treated as treason. That might seem like a good start, but the problem is that people shouldn’t explicitly be able to say that they’re being oppressed. Everyone should know that already, and any who complains about it should be jailed or rounded up into camps for speaking out against the state. It’s really a huge rookie fascist state mistake not to do that. While curtailing civil liberties is a must, it is also crucial to quiet those who complain about that.

” If I were a BusHitler, I’d disappear a few dissenters without admitting to it publicly.”

 I know, you’re probably wondering, “If we quiet everyone who complains about out fascist evil, how will anyone know what’s being oppressed and thus what not to do?” That’s a good question. If I were a BusHitler, I’d disappear a few dissenters without admitting to it publicly. Then, people will whisper about it and be scared. Yes, you could be more explicit about it, but, not admitting to your oppressive actions makes your state that much more mysterious and feared. If people aren’t sure what evil oppression you are doing, it makes them that much more likely to fall into line since they can’t even comprehend the menace they are up against. That’s some strong fascism right there.

 The other question comes up is whether dissenters should be jailed or put into reeducation camps. In some ways, that’s more a budgetary concern because camps can be more costly that just throwing someone in a dank hole and feeding him bread and water once a day. It’s best to judge that on a person by person basis, though. For instance, you may really want to throw Cindy Sheehan in a dank hole, but since she’s already so public, reeducation might work better. Actually, looking at Cindy’s mental acuity, all I think it would take is a lunch break to brainwash her into saying how much she loves her son’s sacrifice – and you’d still probably have time to finish off a tuna fish sandwich before going back out to crack the skulls of those who don’t love The Government.

 Don’t forget to shutdown websites critical of The Government as well. Again, here is a good place to instill some fear. First, take down The Democratic Underground and DailyKos, putting up some blatant lies that they failed to pay to renew their URLs and have been bought by The Government. Also, make sure to disappear anyone involved with those sites you can hunt down. This will be a very conspicuous taking out of those who speak ill of the new fascism while denying anything was done. Again, this will cause more fear to shut up the rest.

 Yes, fascism is hard, but I think I outlined a few simple steps to make things easier. And, though this itself could be seen as criticizing The Government, please don’t secretly arrest me. Then again, you have to start somewhere.

Hollywood Isn’t Out of Touch; You Are
An Editorial by Frank J.

Posted by on

 Many people think that Hollywood is out of touch with mainstream America; people who think that are crazy and stupid and full of themselves. Those who don’t understand and cherish what Hollywood actors and directors bring to the important issues today are ignorant of both what’s important in America and of Hollywood itself.

 Hollywood people are better than us; if you don’t believe that, then you are just jealous. These people are troopers. How often has an actor had the disappointment of their personal assistant forgetting to take the crust off of his sandwich but went on to perform anyway? Sure, he threw a fit, fired the assistant, and pouted in his trailer for two hours, but these people are humans; not gods. And that makes what they do all the more impressive. Still, you want to lecture them on what’s right and wrong, and you don’t even have a personal assistant.

“It’s true; you’re gay!”

 Where in the world do you get this idea you know anything? I know where Hollywood people get their experience. They have tons of different marriages, oodles of out of wedlock children, and more drug problems than all of South America. That’s real world experience that informs them better than the silly, unimportant lives you people have. And, with all these life problems plus fancy parties plus check ups with their plastic surgeons, you know they have little time to spend learning about world issues, so they spend that time well. How many political fundraisers have you been invited to? Yet you think you know anything about war or social issues better than George Clooney? Do you know how ignorant you sound when you say that?

 Still, with all this disdain you shovel upon them, they do all they can to educate you. But what do you do? You spit at it! Did you even go to see Brokeback Mountain? Ang Lee slaved on that movie to make you a better person, but you didn’t want to watch it. Know why? Because deep down you know you’re gay. It’s true; you’re gay! Yes, you’ll go see Ang Lee’s The Hulk because you aren’t afraid that you will become large and green if angered, but you’re just too afraid of the gay cowboy inside you to see a story about real love. And, if you won’t even admit to you being afraid of your gayness, how can we trust anything else you say?

 Hollywood actors are rich, live pampered lifestyles, and are sheltered from consequences; this gives them a view of society that you don’t have. Up on their pedestals, they have a view of the world you could never even imagine. And, when they read something on a paper, and then they go on TV and say stuff about it to make things happen. They’re important; that’s why they don’t like regular people making eye-contact with them. What do you do when you hear about an issue? Nothing… or you blog about it which is next to nothing. So what is Hollywood out of touch with? You and your boring life? These people don’t only know the issues, they’ve acted in movies and TV specials about these issues. You’ve acted in nothing; you’re just ignorant. I mean, what level scientologist are you? Do you even know about the threat of Xenu? I bet your precious “Jesus” didn’t tell you about that one.

 So stop being a fool and worship and offer sacrifices to those in Hollywood who deign us worthy of their opinions. And, if you want to add to the debate, you show me where your Walk-of-Fame star is. Oh, you don’t have one? Then you shut up!
