WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH GEORGE BUSH'S MIND
DURING THE INFAMOUS SEVEN MINUTES
1. I wonder if
Rumsfeld left the oven on in his Pentagon office, because if he did,
it's just going to make a bad situation worse
2. If I get assassinated, all that hassle bribing the Supreme
Court guys will have been a total rip-off
3. On the one hand, I could save the lives of countless numbers
of my fellow countrymen, but on the other hand, I might never learn how
this pet goat thing ends up
4. You know, really, Condoleezza Rice is pretty hot...I wonder
if...no, no, there'll be time for that later
5. As soon as I get back to the White House, I really have to
take care of those old newspapers I've been letting pile up
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT 9/11
1. How could so
many emergency services nationwide mock the memory of the fallen heroes
by naming their telephone number for this terrible day?
2. Pretty big coincidence that all these planes happened to hit American targets, isn't it, when
Canada is almost as close?
3. Why do we still insist on using commercial airliners now that
we've seen the damage that they're capable of? Why don't we
switch to blimps, which couldn't possibly take out an entire skyscraper?
4. Given the role that oil has played in the history of middle
eastern conflict, why aren't more people willing to implicate dinosaurs
in all this?
5. What did Mr. Peabody know, when did he know it, and why didn't
he try and stop it?
THE HIJACKERS' ALTERNATE TARGET LIST
1. World Trade
Center, Tower 1: The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City, OK
2. World Trade Center, Tower 2: Big Sur
3. The Pentagon: American Girl Place
4. The White House: The "Big Brother" house
5. A field in rural Pennsylvania: another very similar but
distinct field in rural Pennsylvania
AID GIVEN TO THE 9/11 TERRORISTS BY TALIBAN
FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN
1. lent them their
umbrella that one time when it was raining really hard
2. went to the Home Depot in Kabul and shoplifted them some box
cutters
3. kept their girlfriends out of their hair
4. fixed them up with some killer doses, dude
5. told them of this wondrous land 'America', and of its gleaming
magical towers that are an affront to God; gave them 1996 AAA road
atlas and subway tokens
HOW WE ARE SAFER NOW
1. distracted Arab
world by invading Iraq, which has kept them busy killing American
soldiers overseas and prevented them from killing American civilians
here at home
2. highly useful color-coded terror alert system takes national
attention away from political and economic issues that would only upset
them
3. televised beheadings considered in acceptable statistical
range
4. North Korea freed up to develop nuclear weapons, which will be
perfectly acceptable as soon as they elect a leader who isn't a
deranged totalitarian Stalinist
5. nineteen hijackers who actually perpetrated the attacks
haven't done anything else since them |
