JFK agrees, Bush is baby-killer!

File: What media bias? From a secret spy who infiltrated a town hall meeting in Toledo, yesterday, one member of the audience (her name was *cough* Dorothy Sahadi *cough* no comment) got up and:

accused Vice President Dick Cheney of engineering an ''invasion" of Iraq to benefit Halliburton, the energy giant he once headed, then said of Cheney and Iraqis: ''How many has he murdered? He has murdered women, children, babies for nothing, just for the money in his pocket."

What was John did-I-mention-I-was-in-Vietnam Kerry's reaction?

Kerry said he disagreed with some parts of Sahadi's remarks. ''But I know exactly where you're coming from," the Massachusetts senator said, in remarks that were broadcast live on local television in this election-year battleground state. ''I know where that anger comes from, I know where the frustration comes from."

Kerry spokesman David Wade said afterwards that Kerry disagreed with Sahadi's ''murdered" comment.

What the freak!! Kerry doesn't swat that wench down like the vermin she is? He has to have a spokesman clarify his position on the whole Bush is a baby-killer thang? And the newspaper headline completely misses the real story here!

America Surrenders--Yes, this is Vietnam

Our vast army of paid informants have disclosed that America has "negotiated a peaceful settlement" with rebel forces.

Mark my words, this will not be seen as anything less than a complete victory for those engaged in killing American troops. If the last two centuries of warfare have taught us one thing, it is that the enemy must be completely humiliated before they accept that they actually were defeated. In the world of Jawas and Tusken Raiders, this is especially true. Note to Allah: These people think they won the six day war, beeyatch! They live in a world where anything short of complete and utter destruction is seen as a victory. What should we have done to Fallujah? Does the word Dresden mean anything to you?

So what will be the result of this settlement if the report pans out? More American deaths. Look how Syrian President Bashar al-Asad reacts to our attempt to "win the Arab street" by not totally annhialating our foes"

The armed operations against the American occupying forces in Iraq [constitute] a legitimate resistance because it represents the majority of the Iraqi people," he said.

The only way to win the Arab street is to convince them that resistance is futile, so to speak. We assume that our holding back will be received as some sort of gesture of magnanimity. It will not. For Arab nationalists it will be seen as proof of superior Arab will. For Islamojawafascists it will be seen as proof of divine intervention.

No matter what we do, the Arab press will spin our actions in the worst possible light. This is why we need to completely get rid of freedom of the press in Iraq. Freedom of the press cannot exist in a war zone. Look at the sick messages people in Iraq are seeing when they turn to Al Jazeera:

US soldiers have fired on a minibus full of civilians near a checkpoint on the outskirts of the besieged Iraqi town of Falluja. Witnesses said a hail of bullets from occupation forces on Thursday turned the vehicle into a ball of fire.

Iraqi policeman Fuad al-Hamdani said four civilians were killed in the unprovoked attack.

If this is what you were seeing in the news, wouldn't you want to resist our efforts too? As a matter of fact, if our action in Iraq were as bad as the Arab press made them out to be, then resistance would be justified! We must have the political will to do the things necessary to win this war. In the hierarchy of liberties, freedom of the press is way down the ladder. Protecting lives is at the top. Yes, shutting down ant-American media sources will not be well received by liberals. But so what? The alternative is losing.

So, what are our prospects for turning Iraq in to a semi-stable, semi-democratic, semi-liberal state? Not-good. The news out of Fallujah is a cue that Washington has begun to micro-manage efforts on the ground. It is a cue that we are not willing to go all the way in seeing this thing through. It is a cue that we care more about what the French think about us than doing the awful things necessary to win a war. It is a cue that the same forces that lost Vietnam are alive and well---and in charge.

In sum: Yes, this is Vietnam.

Please, tell me that I'm wrong. I pray to God that I am.

Religion of Stupid Criminals

File: Real Stories of the Palestinian Authority
Via paid informant Misha comes this story:

A Hamas suicide bomber blew up two armed Palestinians who tried to rob him at gun point in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas claimed the “stickup men” worked for Israeli intelligence, while Palestinian security forces said the two were ordinary thieves.

Rather than give up his explosives, the bomber detonated them, killing himself and the two robbers near the border fence between Gaza and Israel.

Palestinian security officials said the the gunmen were criminals who were involved in a car theft ring that brought stolen vehicles from Israel to Gaza.

And what do you call a robber when the victim is a member of Hamas? J-E-W!!!

A Hamas official said that whatever their intention, the two should be considered agents of Israel. “Anyone who tries to stop a fighter from doing his work is a collaborator,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Bad boys bad boys, what'cha ya going do?
What'cha going to do when they blow up you?

Imagine Whirled Peas...

Yes, it's the Religion of Peas update. Featuring our award winning propoganda gathered by our vast army of paid informants and those who fear the Emperor's diabolical retribution. Maestro, drumroll please!!

The Gandhi of Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, claims to have beaten back an assault by Imperial Stormtroopers. Showing his intimate knowledge of the philosophy of ahimsa, and peering over a tattered and obviously much read copy of Thoreau's On Civil Disobedience, al-Sadr quoted the Rev. Martin Luther King as he told a reporter from the Mideast chapter of the SCLC's daily publication, Al Jazeera:

If we are forced to defend our cities, we will resort to martyrdom operations and we will be human time bombs which would explode in their faces

That publication has also just been named one of the 100 most influential people of the year by Time magazine. We concur. They influence a lot people to kill, maim, and generally resist cultural forces that would like to drag people into--no not the 21st century, we'd settle for the 19th.

And speaking of non-violence, Allah, lord of moons, asks John Kerry to imagine whirled peas. Note to Senator Phil A Buster: there's a gay photoshop request and then there's an all the way gay photoshop request!

From the official organ of the Kingdom comes news that:

God has promised wrath, damnation, painful torture and an eternity burning in hell for those who deliberately kill a Muslim... Unjustly killing a Muslim is the gravest crime and cannot be atoned for.

Now, Jews and Americans, well that's another story alltogether!

Our allies in the Zionist Entity have finally done what my students have been dreaming of for years, the IDF got a .44 and they shot this dude to the floor now he don't teach no more!

According to Palestinian sources, the man killed was Dr. Yasser Abu Laman, a professor in the American University in Jenin.

Glory glory hallalujah, teacher hit me with a ruler....

And speaking of the ZOG, Abd Al-Wahhab 'Adas, deputy editor of the Egyptian government daily Al-Gumhouriyya went on record trying to dispell the myth that Jawa society is full of a bunch of racist, backward, and paranoid idiots, when he claimed:

"If you want to know the real perpetrator of every disaster or every act of terrorism, look for the Zionist Jews. They are behind all the violent and terror operations that have occurred everywhere in the world. [They do this] first of all in order to slap [the label of the attacks] on the Arabs and Muslims, and second to harm them, distort their image, and represent them to the world as terrorists who endanger innocents. What is even more dangerous is that after every terror operation they perpetrate, they leave a sign, clue, or traces meant to show that the perpetrators are Arab Muslims.

What was that about Bush=Hitler again?

In good news Frida Ghitis has seen the enemy, and they is us! She notes that:

The No. 1 enemy of Islamic radicals is modernity. Anything that moves society forward, away from their understanding of what life was like in seventh century Arabia, where Islam was born, is a threat.

For her bravery in the face of a sure-fire fatwa getting laid on her rear, we bestow the title of honorary Sith Master on madame Ghitis. May the dark-side of the force be with you.

Hindus were right! Apparently, reincarnation is a metaphysical fact as proved by this editorial commentary in Al Jazeera:

A specter haunts the world, and that specter is Islam.

Marx is back, and this time it's personal!

It seems that the Tusken Raiders are already planning to spin this years election as another 'Spanish' style referendum, or so the Commissar seems to think. And how will the American public be held captive to the demands of the Islamojawafascists? "Meet our demands, or we'll release peanut butter on you!" Note to Commissar: Yeah, but what are the contingency plans should Ralph Nader pull a victory? Those who fail to plan, plan to fail....

Can somebody please tell me why these guys don't have their own state? Are we still worrying about pissing off a certain un-named NATO ally that refused to give our troops passage through their ungrateful sorry pathetic excuse of a country?

Twenty members of the Ansar al-Islam extremist Islamic group who were allegedly planning attacks against US-led coalition forces have been arrested in northern Iraq, a Kurdish official said Thursday.

Last, but not least, if Pat Tillman's death does not get at least equal time with the Michael Jackson indictment on the tube today...I swear I'm going to freaking blow up my TV! Pat Tillman, you are a true American hero. In an age where being infamous is mistaken for deserved fame, you were one of the humble spirits. Your example reminds us of the goodness of an age gone by. You are the Jimmy Stewart of our time. You left fame and glory behind, without fanfare, to serve your country when it needed you most. May your sacrifice not be in vain. Rest in Peace.

VDH on lies, damn lies, and the left

VDH rebutts some common myths in his column. Read the whole thing, it's brilliant. Here are his myths that he refutes, along with my take:

Myth #1: America turned off its allies.
This one pisses me off because it assumes that international affairs are about discourse rather than interests. This is what I call the alchemy theory of international relations. The theory is that somehow, if we had just said the right thing, the entire world would have backed our efforts in Iraq. Say the magic words, and somehow the interests of nations change from lead to gold. Abra-cadabra-ali-ali-oxen-mus, France all your foreign policies are belong to us!

Myth #2: Democracy cannot be implemented by force.
Earth calling Germany? Earth calling Japan? Hello? Any one home?

Myth #3: Lies got us into this war.
Did we make mistakes about the WMD situation? Yes. Were they lies? No. Saying Bush is a liar because of bad intelligence and faulty assumptions on Iraqi WMD is like saying that Newton is a liar because "we now know" that his physics were off. Its a lazy intellectual exercise in ad homonym attacks on Bush's character.

Myth #4: Profit-making led to this war.
*Snooze* Yeah, this is just plain dumb. It's not even a testable theory. Those who believe this believe everything is about profit-making. Name an event or problem and the cause is the same: capitalism! Then they always point out, "What about Ike's worry about the military-industrial complex? Eh, what about 'dem apples?" Which is a really pathetic answer. Just because the possibility exists for military suppliers to want to cash in on bigger military budgets does not mean that war is necessarily motivated by the desire to make profits. The same analysis can be turned on its head to prove the opposite point -- in fact any point can be proven with this type of analysis. For instance: since peace leads to bigger profits for home building industry then the fact that we are at peace just proves that its the home building industry that really runs the show from behind the curtains!


Myth #5: Israel has caused the United States untold headaches in the Arab world by its intransigent policies.
Here is where I would disagree with VDH, at least to some degree. Our support for Israel has caused the US untold headaches. If we were to condemn Israel we would be much more popular with the Islamojawas. In fact, if we really want to be popular why don't we say that Israel has no right to exist at all? That would bring us the sympathy of a billion Muslims! See, this is what makes America unique in the world. France routinely denounces Israel because it is in her interest to do so. It is in America's interest, also, to condemn everything and anything that Israel does. Instead of doing what is in our interest, though, Americans choose to do the right thing--the moral thing. Its why I love America and why we are not just some other country. America does not always do the right thing, but neither do we do the wrong thing based solely on our interests. Usually, our foreign policy decisions can be explained by the convergence of morality and interest--as opposed to the foreign policies of most nations that can be explained in terms of interest only. The oddly wonderful thing about our support for Israel is that it can be explained solely in terms of morality. It is against our national interest, yet we do it anyway. God bless America!

Nuclear Sabotage!

Are we seeing a pattern here? "Vermont nuclear plant searching for missing fuel rods" & "Australian Police Arrest Terror Suspect - Charged with Planning Attack on Nuclear Reactor" (via Jihadwatch). Don't go jumping to conclusions, though! Remember Imperial Directive #44023: Don't Blame Islam. EVER. So, eager to comply with the Emperor's will (lest we find our windpipes mysteriously crushed) our Imperial spy network has fingered the likely suspect. This was clearly an inside job, most likely from sector 7-G.

Islamic Orgy

Vacation from Myself

I took the last couple of weeks and had a vacation from myself. The moustache I grew was supposed to reinvigorate my life by making me feel like someone else for awhile. Unfortunately, the person I most felt like was a gay highway patrol officer. So, I shaved the stache and am back to my old self Dale Gri Rusty Shackleford. I'm back baby!

BAG DAY II: Electric Bugaloo

Yes, I'm still on vacation, but Aaron guilted me into doing this little post.

RE: BUY A GUN DAY II: ELECTRIC BUGALOO

All loyal minions are hereby ordered to turn in their phallic light sabers for the not-so-gay blaster. This will have the effect of simultaneously pissing off members of the Rebel Alliance and shutting down talk that the Sith are a little "limp-wristed" (not that there's anything wrong with that). If you think the Imperial Stormtroopers are enough to protect you, and you don't need a gun, just ask Flava!

Gone Fishin'

When Lord Vader told me he was my father I thought it was just a joke. But now that he's flying with me to the moons of Endor, I'm starting to believe him. If I don't post in the next week or so its because I'm hanging with my newly found fam as we plot to bring order to the universe and crush the dhimmis of the Rebel Alliance. Feel free to drop me a line, I'll be checking my e-mail on and off.

Religion of Peas Update

Dateline: Tattooine. Our vast resources in the Imperial Ministry of Propoganda have collated the following from Top Secret information. Remember, this information has come at considerable cost and should not be shared with any member of the Rebel Alliance or those who give moral or material support to the Tusken Raiders.

File: Imperial Directive #44023
As per instructed by the Emperor in Directive #44023, the following news should be suppressed because this war "is not about Islam".

"Our families in Falluja, remember that our dead go to heaven and theirs to hell," read a banner held by the marchers who had gathered early on Thursday at the Um al-Qura mosque in west Baghdad...

"It is a form of jihad which can also come in the form of demonstrations, donations and fighting. The people who are occupied have the right to fight occupation, whatever the means they use"

A broken R-2 unit was recovered containing the following information:

More than 30 senators and delegates issued a public rebuke to Del. Donald H. Dwyer Jr. yesterday over what they described as a "prejudicial and hateful" e-mail he sent to all General Assembly members last week questioning whether Islam is a peaceful religion.

The lawmakers, all Democrats, released a statement criticizing the Anne Arundel County Republican's use of the Assembly's computer system to circulate an essay concluding that Muslims practice a warlike religion.

Undersecretary of Propoganda, Rusty Shackleford, believes that censure is not harsh enough punishment. For violating the afforementioned directive, it is the Ministry's opinion that action be taken against Sen. Dwyer. The Ministry of Justice may consider carbon freezing from 10 - 20 years for violation of Directive #44023

File: Rebel Alliance
Various sources continue to show that the Rebel Alliance gives moral and financial support to Jawas in rebellion in Mos Iraq. A secret spy has infiltrated the enemy ranks by wearing tin foil on his head and brings us this news of their conversations:

While certainly a nightmare for the American people and military families, the revolt in Iraq, strengthened by Sunni-Shiite unison under the banner of anti-colonialism and Islam, is probably a consolation to the pernicious and apocalyptic reactionaries currently in power: Christian fundamentalists and pro-Israel zealots who hunger for an epic confrontation between Islam and the West.

To all underlings in the ministry: Remember, it is Top Secret information that we hunger for an "epic" confrontation between Islam and the West. Who let the cat out of the bag? Those responsible for the leak may face a personal confrontation with Lord Vader!

File: Imperial Forces Update
Our spies in Mos Eisley's infamous "Blogosphere Bar" bring several notables from those who support the Emperor.

Ace is having a public outting of democrats currently "in the closet." Your's truly, Rusty Shackleford, has suggested Noam Chomsky, but the Commissar has a pic that proves that Sheik Ahmed Yassin really flew the rainbow banner. Dave, on the other hand, has evidence that both of the good Senators from MA might have been in a film together back when they were young and needed the money.

Aaron does his darndest to reinforce the Zionist-Crusador conspiracy theories presently so popular with the left. Hey Aaron, your supposed to keep it a secret that right-wing Christians actually LIKE the Jews and that its the left that is full of looney anti-Semites!

Speaking of people saying things they ought'nt, me and the Bull have got into a bit of a spat over her semmantic usage in her present post. I guess I never learned not to mess with the bull and all that.

Rusty's found a new site worth mentioning because he has been named official campaign manager. Senator Buster hasn't quite figured out how to use the trackback thing yet, but he'll learn. He should also realize that once our dark plans are fully realized the Imperial Senate will be summarily dismissed!

Pretender to the Imperial throne, Misha, has a pic that I personally approved for propoganda purposes. Distribute it far and wide! I wonder when John F. Did-I-Mention-I-Served-In-Vietnam-Kerry will complain of insensitivity?

As for more reports out of our vast spy network, we'll have to let Ironbear reign supreme on the link dumpage. I swear if I ever quit my job at the Imperial Ministry of Propoganda I'm going to out do him yet!

Islamic Blog Ads Back UP!

Is this a case of Jimmy Carter taking his message to the sinners at Playboy? Or is this just a case of a stupid Google ad-bot that searches pages for words related to Islam and then places ads related to Islam on those pages?

Because you know, I would never use the word Islam in vain just so my Google ads would link my anti-Islamist blog to Muslim sponsered sites that are sympathetic to Islam and that have good things to say about the Q'uran when I often say bad things about Islam so that when people visiting my anti-Islamist site would click on those Islamic ads therefore generating revenue for my web-host from the coffers of Islamic sites indirectly funded by a certain Islamic Kindgom therefore indirectly redirecting their wealth to us and maybe even to certain other anti-Islamic sites that might not be so sympathetic to Muslims on the West Bank or to other blasphemous sites that might even claim to be written by Allah himself or to my own blog that sometimes calls Muhammed a pedophile and has even been known to compare Muslims to Jawas and radical Muslims and Islamists calling for an Islamic State --modelled after the Islamic Republic of Iran or the Islamic State of Sudan or the Islamic boy-loving ass-pirate Taliban or the the Paki radical sharia loving Islamists-- Tusken Raiders or demeaning the Religion of Peace as the Religion of Peas and making the traditional Islamic color of green the official color of the anti-Islamist blog pea green because that might just be offensive to non-secular loving Muslims who might not just have a good sense of humor like all the Muslims I grew up with in my neighborhood where there were a lot of Muslims from Islamic countries who were very cool and were here because they fled the asshat Mullahs of the Islamic Republic or the religious fascists of that Islamic Kingdom and therefore were not Jawas because Jawas is a term saved for Muslims who create the sea for which Islamist Tusken Raiders are allowed to swim and the Muslims I knew growing up were cool and had come here fleeing the oppression of Sharia law and this one Muslim dude who was especially cool would always give me his burger on free In'n'Out Burger day because he was a good Muslim and wouldn't eat food that wasn't halal but he also would never want to force Sharia on the world but believed Muslims ought to choose to follow Islamic precepts unlilke that camel-loving jawa Muslim from a certain unnamed Kingdom that is ruled by a radical Islamic school of thought who stayed at my house in college and would talk all smack about how that unnamed Kingdom of Muslims was misunderstood by us non-Muslims because Islam was a religion of peace and Sharia would liberate all mankind from sin and the unhappiness caused by Western secularism and then he moved in with a bunch of fellow Muslims where I presume they could practice Islam the way they wanted and wouldn't have to tolerate a non-Muslim like me who didn't force his wife into subservience by making her cover her face with the veil which I guess his Islamic Muslim eyes were offended by and then I would deliver pizza to the house of Allah where all those jawa freak Muslims lived and you know what kind of pizza those Islamist freaking jerkwad hypocrite Muslim fanatic asshats would order? Canadian Bacon!

Nope. I would never do that ;-)

Brown Sugar Live!

I'm watching Brown Sugar testify at the 9/11 Commission via C-SPAN online. I don't know what it is about her, but if she say's "Force Protection" one more time Rusty Shackleford is going to have to close the office door. What can I say about her testimony other than it is interesting, interesting, very interesting, and I have the feeling I'm about to lose interest!

Bad news out of Mos Iraq. Allah, God of the dark side of the force, reminds me that we need to dig deep and give back to our slain Imperial Marines.

Europe is a 'Province of Islam'

From the 'Stating the Obvious' Department of the Imperial Undersecretariat of Propoganda comes this news gathered from our secret spy network of European resistance fighters:

ROME -- A new book by controversial journalist Oriana Fallaci that hit bookstores here Monday accuses Europe of having sold its soul to what she describes as an Islamic invasion.

Entitled "The Strength of Reason," ("La Forza della Ragione" in Italian), the book also accuses the Roman Catholic Church of being too weak before the Muslim world.

"Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam. And Italy is an outpost of that province, a stronghold of that colony," the book says. "In each of our cities lies a second city: a Muslim city, a city run by the Quran. A stage in the Islamic expansionism." ...

A group in France unsuccessfully sought to stop distribution of the book, while two other associations have requested that it carry a warning. ...

Describing Europe as "Eurabia" -- a mix of Europe and Arabia -- the Italian writer said the continent "has sold itself and sells itself to the enemy like a prostitute."

Written in the blunt style that is Fallaci's trademark, the 278-page book claims the Catholic Church keeps silent even when its symbols are offended by Muslims and before such practices as polygamy and torture.

The current invasion, Fallaci writes, is not carried out only by the "terrorists who blow up themselves along with skyscrapers or buses" but also by "the immigrants who settle in our home, and who, with no respect for our laws, impose their ideas, their customs, their God."

The book is dedicated to the victims of the March 11 terror attacks in Madrid.

Why am I starting to find Italian women so much more attractive?

Surprise!!! Qatar backs democracy, no more blaming the Jews

From the Holy Freaking Schneike Department this news out of Qatar:

Arab states should consider US proposals for democratic reform rather than rejecting them outright, the ruler of Qatar has said.

Amir Shaikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani also said on Monday Arabs could no longer use the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and security fears to justify delaying much needed political, social and economic change.

Left field to Rusty: Lookout, incoming!!

"Honesty obliges us to stress that the wrath in our region does not spring only from the Palestinian cause but goes deeper and is due to problems of our own creation that have nothing to do with the outside world - problems that we allowed to grow unremedied and unchecked," Shaikh Hamad said.

Oh Allah, I hear you weeping!

Also on Monday, Qatar said it feared a civil war could break out in Iraq and that the country was becoming a "fertile ground for terrorists".

"The developments in Iraq in the last few days are alarming and we fear that we are facing a civil war in Iraq reminding me of what happened in Afghanistan and Lebanon," Qatari Foreign Minister Shaikh Hamad bin Jasim Al Thani told reporters on the sidelines of the conference.

"We are worried about the cluster of resistance and terrorist organisations in Iraq which has become a fertile ground for these people to implement their extremist ideology," said the foreign minister.

How is it that Qatar 'gets it' better than the Democratic Party?

Saudi Arabia Endorses Kucinich, Attempts to "Spaniardize" America

From the official organ (think of an organ south of the beltline) of the House of Saud comes this editorial by Richard H. Curtis. Reading this essay reminds ol' Rusty of the CPUSA candidate for President he heard speaking at Red Square one fine May Day many moons ago:

What the United States has to do is get out on schedule because we have become an obstacle to peace.

If any American politician is closest to the truth it is probably Dennis Kucinich who says “get out, period.” Second closest to the truth is Howard Dean who says the US should get out gracefully. Furthest from the truth is Sen. John F. Kerry who hasn’t fully grasped that the US must get out. And, most frightening of all, is President George W. Bush who never understood why he couldn’t just go from one war to another without having to pay the terrible consequences of wars of conquest.

Mr. Curtis was once promulent in the holocaust denying Institute for Historical Review and is now Executive Editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Mr. Curtis is a well known moonbat who's inciteful essays include: WOLFOWITZ AND HIS SUCCESSFULLY EVIL CABAL; Mossad Duped America, UK Into Launching Iraq Attack; How Israel Manipulated Western Intelligence Agencies; The Secret Life of Meyrav Wurmser...the list goes on and on. If that weren't enough, Mr. Curtis' essays are promulently displayed at the Castle Hill Publisher's website, who's mission is:

...to correct unjust reporting or accounts of events of the 20th century. It is also the Foundation's goal to further public debate about the subject generally described as 'Holocaust'.

It is also Castle Hill Publishers' goal to financially assist Revisionists who, due to their work, are subjected to prosecution, physical assault or slander, or who are otherwise victimized or persecuted.

Holocaust denyers are victims in the same way as Priests are just victims of all those luscious young Catholic boys out there.

Can Rusty put on the moonbat hat himself here? Mind if I go out on a limb for just a sec? Is it just me, or is Saudi Arabia trying to get "W" thrown out of office? Yeah, I know a coincidence is just a coincidence and all that, but the timing of OPEC's announced production cuts are just a little too singular to be overlooked. Despite what all the moonbats over at DU say over and over, the Saudis hate Bush. The Saudis understand what so many in the West continue to deny: there is a war going on between Islam and the world. This war has been going on for over a thousand years. The main obstacle, today, standing in the way of Islam winning is George W. Bush. No, "W" isn't doing half of what he should be doing to fight the Islamofascists, but name another world leader who does half of what Shrub does? Most world leaders are not only willing dhimmis, but they also supply their own KY and a smile as they assume the bee-yatch position.

Saudi Arabia's manipulation of world oil prices is a way to influence the November elections and get someone--any one--other than Bush elected to office. If there is one thing Americans hate it is to have some mo-fo mess with our SUV loving culture. If the price of oil goes up, so does the price of gas, energy, airfare, transportation, and eventually even food! Like it or not, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the electorate blames the guy in office for any bad economic news. I believe that the Saudis are trying to effect the American economy in such a way as to get the "crusader" Bush ousted.

Yeah, I know, it sounds like something somebody over at DU would write (in reverse). Just remember: conspiracies are dumb because they are only mostly untrue and needlessly complicated.

Mass Suicide Over -- Mass Resurrection Begins

Our Imperial Spy Network of paid informants was busy yesterday. Report after report kept coming in of Sith Lords turning from the dark-side! First to drink the Kool-Aid was pretender to the Imperial Throne, Darth Misha, who wished us, "Peace, man, and happy fluffy bunnies." Imperial Cartoonists Cox and Forkum announced that the Rebel Alliance had jailed half their Sith team for crimes against the state. One rumor even came through the network that Imperial Governor Ariel Sharon had been killed.

Two Benedict Arnolds were revealed to have gone over for MONEY. First, the holder of the prestigious Lord Vader Chair of Intergalactic Peace, Dr. O, announced that he had resigned his post and signed on to the Kerry Campaign as "Deputy Policy Director for Terrorism." And second, Rusty Shackleford was sad to note a couple of days ago that the mypetjawa endorsed candidate for Emperor, Michael Cooper, had sold his domain for a few imperial credits.

If insult were not already added to injury, one promulent ally of the Imperial Ministry of propaganda even had the nerve to imply that yours truly, Dale GribbleRusty Shackleford, had joined the spineless fools who seek to overthrow the order brought to the universe by the Dark Emperor. In the words of Jedi Master--and known collaborator of the evil-doers in the Rebel Alliance-- Al Franken, "Commissar you ignorant slut!"

Of course, in the word's of Dr. O, "Apparently yesterday was April 1st, which is some kind of universally recognized day of pranks." My underlings in the Ministry of Propaganda must have gone Sept. 10th on me and totally missed that the obvious was about to happen. How could they have overlooked that fact? Look y'all, when the Jews start running from the building its obvious the Mossad is about to attack (and then blame the whole thing on poor innocent jawas)! All of these sites were attempting to pull the wool over our collective eyes. Luckily, Rusty Shackleford doesn't fall for such Jedi mind-tricks so easily. He even collaborated with Cooper in spreading a few vicious lies! Hey, if telling lies isn't an essential component of propaganda, I don't know what is!!

So, The Imperial Ministry of Propaganda hereby announce that the report of so many Siths being swayed to the good side of the force have been soreley exaggerated. Let the de-de-linking begin!
