Winding up a visit from my wacko Liberal older Brother this weekend, and boy, does he have an incredible NEW alert from Liberal radio.
It seems that our President has made it LAW that ALL Vietnam Vets, even up to age 65, are now eligible to be drafted back into the military to be sent to the Middle East. Yes yes.......the last time I saw him it was the children, male and female, who were about to be "drafted" even though his girl is 32 and his boy is 25, and partially handicapped. Yes, sez he, Bush is going to draft them both. Now the age has been expanded to men and women UP TO age 65. Since big Bro is 62, he has a real reason to worry about this (he thinks).
I told him he needs to find a new radio station. He swears that EVERYBODY knows this, and it's ALL OVER THE NEWS, an assertion which I find amusing, since my radio runs for easily 12 hours a day.
So be afraid, be very afraid. We're ALL gonna be drafted, up to age 65, of course. Manditory service, front lines in Iraq, cannon fodder. That's the ONLY way to win the war, according to Big Bro and his NPR latenight stations.
I actually think there might be some adult beverages involved here.
"The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
You'd be amazed at how many Americans believe things such as this.They also believe everything wrong in the world is George Bush' fault too. These people actually get to vote too............
LOL! Sounds great, but don't make it have anything to do with a bank, they're stealing all his money. As is Morgan Stanley. What we have here is a sixties time warp; Berkeley in the sixties. Mario Savio forever. Praise the lord and pass the bong.
at least let me go back as an E-5+, spent way too long as a junior sailor!!
as soon as i get done with pharmacy school i am going back in. i hate this civilian BS
Ooooooooooh! I'm only 57, so guess I'll get drafted!
Yeah, I'm only 58 and I'm really skeered!!
Don't worry I have 3 family members who are liberals, and think I've been brainwashed by my father-in-law! I guess I'm not capable to thinking for myself!!!
Make him a deal...if he can't show, chapter and verse, where this was signed into law...he must refrain from voting!
Did you ever wonder what it must be like to exist at such a low level of awareness? No offense intended, I've got a few like that in my own family.
Two questions:
1) Are there, or have there ever been, any Turnip trucks owned by you or your family?
2) Did your brother fall off the above described truck, on way home from hospital?
LOL! Don't know about any turnip trucks, but he WAS allergic to EVERYTHING as an infant. This was during WWII, and when they discovered that bananas and goats' milk were the only thing he could tolerate, the folks quickly made friends with a grocer who could get them all the bananas they needed. Maybe it warped some of his synapses......
On second thought, you said he is liberal, right?
Some people want to believe the worst about this good man. I had a customer in my antique store last week talking about gas prices. He says the Bush family is raking in the oil in Texas. Yep, the Bush Oil Company has so much oil they can't even store it all. That is the reason for the Iraq war! This is how STUPID people are!
Tell your bro that the metal rabbit ears are for the tv and should not normally be drilled into the sides of his head.
Did you say Tinfoil Hats needed? Go here for all the information needed to make your own deflector beenie. http://zapatopi.net/afdb.html
No offense taken, believe me. Maybe ignorance is truly bliss, but I'm pretty content being informed.
