THE LARK PROGRAM
A Lady liberal wrote a lot of letters to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive insurgent (terrorist) being held in Guantanamo Bay.
She received back the following reply:
The White House1600 Pennsylvania AvenueWashington , D.C. 20016
Dear Concerned Citizen,
Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Quada detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay , Cuba.
Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington .. You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens likeyourself, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the "Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers" program, or LARK for short.
In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday.
Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint.
It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers.
We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.
Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his "attitudinal problem" will help him overcome these character flaws.
Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences.
We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.
Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group.
He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.
Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters (except sexually), since he views females as a subhuman form of property.
This is a particularly sensitive subject for him and he has been known to show violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the new dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire.
I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka -- over time.
Just remember that it is all part of "respecting his culture and his religious beliefs" -- wasn't that how you put it?
Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember, we'll be watching.
Good luck!
Cordially, your friend, GEORGE W. BUSH
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G. I.
One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.
(Hat tip to friend Anita Carroll)
Only two entities ready to die for you were:
Jesus - did so - for your soul
The American G.I. - does so - for your freedom
Amen Fars!
They ARE going to that right?
Right?
Maybe this could be sent to The New York Times editorial board.
But they wouldn't understand and just print another editorial on the Imperial Presidency.
wow !!!
Nice words huh?
When the war in Iraq started there was a constant prayer thread mostly run by TexOkie and amom, I believe. It could still be going on and I have lost track of it!
TexOkie posted those words and they impressed me so much that I framed and put them on my Profile.
Amen.
How about this thought?
Wise Old Indian
Recently someone was browsing through the 40th Anniversary Issue of Reader's Digest (dated Feb. 1962), came across this reprint from the Washington News, and found it quite interesting in light of our current debates.
The quote reads:
Vice President Lyndon Johnson received the following message from a Native American Indian Chief on a reservation:
"Be careful with your immigration laws. We were careless with ours."
Whether true or not, it's excellent.
LOl!
Good post devolve.
My next post is more serious
Well, you just did the dancing cheeseburgers. What could be more serious than that??
Excellent prayer.
Thanks for the ping!

Laughing and agreeing with the Chief.
