Yeah, and compare it to James Carville, and Waxman too!!
Now this guy is taking credit for having created the world?
Our new battle plan: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Ithaca.....
And this is spoken as someone who failed to get an "A" in a few courses for precisely that reason ;)
Couldn't agree with you more.
I've long thought that they'll do us in -- that they'll be the ones to hand us, as a nation, over to the evil ones.
No problem. We'll peacefully find him guilty of instigating mass murder, understand that he's a power-crazed sociopath who is only genetically a member of the human race, and peacefully hang him from the flagpole in front of the Pentagon. Thus will justice be served, and the majority of the human race protected from his predation.
Being the self sacrificing guy that I am, I keep trying to talk my wife into letting me paint a big target on the roof and the words "USAF: Nuke Here," but she won't go for it. Something about "property values."
Tragedies? Hey, Bruce, how about "atrocities" or "terrorist attacks" or "mass murders"? Good grief. This self-righteous little prig can't even bring himself to use the proper words to describe what happened on that awful day. He pays lip service to our pain by using a word that doesn't illustrate the evil that took so many lives. "Tragedies" has a nice, non-judgmental ring to it. Heaven forbid we should pass judgment on Bin Laden and his cohorts.
Let's face it: this scum bag probably had to force himself to even use the word "tragedies." It is fairly clear he viewed the attacks as justifiable. It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't secretly a little HAPPY they happened, in a "See, I told you so" sort of way.
Or, worse yet, saying that "America was finally paying the price for being a rouge state."
[The Ithaca Journal] published a political cartoon on April 12 depicting a scientist in a "military lab" examining a test tube saying, "There's no sign of human DNA in this sample," and next to him an officer on the phone declaring, "We may have found Newt Gingrich."
This cartoon is inappropriate and offensive. Too many times have certain groups declared their enemies to be non-human. This serves no cause but that of barbarism. We cannot ignore the real social processes behind our enemies' actions, as well as our own. Any activities carried out by Republicans are those of a human being, acting in a world created by humans, including us.
While the tragedies of global warming and racial profiling quite justifiably cause us -- and many people around the world -- great pain, we cannot forget that they were carried out by human beings, and as such we cannot distance ourselves from them as much as we might like, since we are also human. Cartoons such as this serve only to create a climate of misunderstanding and hate; what we need is peaceful justice and understanding for all members of the human race.
