“Freedom of Ignorance”

A week back or so protestors decided to destroy a 9/11 memorial. I still get pissed when I think of it. I thought this was a horrendous display of confusion. First off many of the anti-war people out there are harping that Iraq had nothing to with 9/11, so than why did you destroy a 9/11 memorial if it has nothing to do with your cause? From what I read it was basically made up of pictures and flags. Do they even know what they are protesting?

Not to mention people who set up the memorial the loved ones on the tragic day. So whatever message was trying to be relayed was aimed at people who had nothing do to with the war. What was trying to be accomplished here? Why don’t they just piss on ground zero? Freedom of speech is one thing, and I know legally that’s all they were doing. Why not just rip pictures of Bush up or something? All the 9/11 memorial was doing was help healing the wounds and serving as a reminder of that day. The people who erected it might not even support the war. Regardless they are not the ones that made the decision to go.


That’s just a plain out as*hole move, and dare I say it…..is there such a thing….UNAMERICAN.

Regardless of what people feel have the right or wrong of the war. I certainly hope that U.S. Soldiers get the respect they deserve when they make it back home safely.

“Big Mac Attack”


I enjoy discussing current events with everyone, and comparing and contrasting views on the world. I respect people’s opinions. Within the past few months, I have engaged in many conversations about the war. I even have my doubts still not that if will succeed but if we should have gone in the first place.

So the other day I was discussing situation with a co-worker named Phil He told me he supported the campaign months after 9/11 but not the current war. However at one point he told me he thought that Saddam IS a threat to the US, but wouldn’t really do anything for about 5 years or so. I pointed out to him that would be merit for war (based on more hard facts obviously) but what difference would it make if he didn’t do anything for 5 years? Certainly now would be the time to attack if he that was the case. He defended his argument by saying that Saddam was old and in poor health (news to me about the health) and we should just let him die of natural causes instead of the SHOCK AND AWE. This would spare lifes.

Well of course it would be nice if Saddam wasn’t around since we don’t really have a beef with the people of Iraqi, just the government. However, his crazy ass son could just take the reigns, and I doubt Saddam would just nonchalantly give his power to the people on his deathbed.

So I was thinking that maybe if we just wanted him to die of health problems the entire campaign would have been different. Fridays SHOCK AND AWE would certainly been quite more amusing.

Picture this…The City Of Baghdad sits quietly at night. Silently a giant fuzzy purple, goggle eyed creature piloting a plane over head. He than proceeds to drop numerous small objects that descend upon the city, however instead of huge missiles falling thousands of Big Macs land on the ground. The launching of “freedom” fries follows this up.

Saddam is in the midst of an intimate evening with some gay sheep but is alarmed by the noise. Saddam walks out of his palace and sees burgers piling up on the ground. He picks up a Big Mac and snarls when he reads the made in America label.

“Blasted Americans!” Snarls the ruthless dictator.

Then something, happen something he would never except. The smell permeates his nostrils and he unravels the wrapper and sniffs the double beef paddy on a sesame seed bun. Hmmm.. He wonders out loud.

“It says made in America, but it sure smells delicious!” He takes a bite and instantly is addicted.

He turns to his higher-ups and declares that he will eat nothing but Big Macs for the rest of his life. However his advisors tell him that would be really dumb and even the mildly retarded camel could see that eating that stuff on a regular basis is unhealthy. Saddam then reminded him he was madman and blew the advisors face off.

Over time his arteries slowly clogged and his health waned. He didn’t know it but several American CIA agents were working undercover keeping a close eye on Saddam to see if he would have a massive heart attack and die. With the intelligence, they come up with a color, coded chart for the people of America to know level Saddam’s health status.

Blue ---- Saddam is suffering from severe diarrhea other wise known as the Hershey Squirts.

Green--- Diarrhea continues, accompanied by chronic flatulence and occasional stomach noises.

Yellow-- All previous symptoms in addition to massive weight gain, shortness of breath and increased stomach discomfort. Saddam demands his palace be filled with millions of plastic balls.

Orange: All previous symptoms, and severe heartburn, and numbing in the arm. Weight slightly over that of John Goodman. Saddam’s brainstarts to slip from all the fat blocking oxygen to his brain. He than starts soiling himself. He begins to think he is the Hamburgler resulting in confusion for his followers.

Red Alert: Saddam’s heart explodes like a baby milk factory and his head falls off. His lifeless corpse falls to the desert sand and sinks rapidly into the earth like the evil Trumpy in Pod People (maybe one person got that one).

The Iraqis start singing REM’s Shining Happy People, but that one of Saddam’s sons gets an American Lawyer to successfully sue McDonalds for killing his dad. He than gets the billions of dollars together to build up a more powerful regime. He is even more ruthless and when Iraqi TV isn’t saying how great he is they show Blame It On the Bellboy non-stop.
