Ooh – another food incident! Last Sunday I went out with some friends to the Al Rasheed hotel, this hotel in the Green Zone. It is guarded by these Marines (I’ve found that many Marines are very very serious about their job…). Anyway, we were driving and came upon this checkpoint. The driver, Allen, didn’t notice the stop sign, and was going about 10 mph over the speed limit. Bad idea. The Marine guarding the checkpoint ran up, and started yelling at us to stop, and drew his gun. Allen slammed on the brakes, and I rolled my window down. The Marine was visibly very very angry at us, and said in no uncertain terms that we had not followed instructions. In fact, he said that in about 5 seconds he was able to fire – not good news for me, as the one sitting in the passenger seat, and the target of his potential firing… yikes. It gives new meaning to traffic violation… no tickets, just deadly force. Yikes.
A new threat has emerged against freedom; the threat from life on Mars:
“Earth’s defences may need to be boosted against risk of potentially deadly microbes returning on space probes”
This represents the greatest threat to democracy since Saddam Hussein. What we need is a full-scale “shock-and-awe” campaign against these dangerous Martians. It’s us or it’s them. No mercy. I say we finally use all of those swell nukes we’ve got. Launch them against the Martian populace and watch them run for the hills. The survivors will damn sure submit. Then we’ll install a liberal democracy there that will be pliant to NIKE SHOX policy makers, and friendlier to Israel.
