How They Got us To Go Along With The Iraq War Immediately after Sept. 11th, at a slumber party hosted by Karl Rove's mother, Lulubelle, Paul "Wolfie" Wolfowitz, Donny Rumsfeld, Lil' Dickie Cheney, and Dubya were in the T.V. room in their sleeping bags. Mrs. Rove had provided the Kool-Aid and Pretzels, and the sugar rush went to their heads. After several crank calls to Jim Jeffords, the boys played Dreamstation 'til late in the evening. Around midnight, Dickie suggested that the boys tell ghost stories. He placed a flashlight under his chin and told a harrowing tale of a tax-and-spend liberal eliminating offshore tax havens for corporations. Afterwards, Wolfie brought out the Ouija Board, and they chanelled the spirit that has since guided the Bush Re-election campaign. Out of the eerie late night void, he spoke these seductive words to the boys... Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. -- Hermann Goering before the the Nuremberg trials. A Shameless Waste of Time Shakespeare Slams The best insults are the most articulate insults. Why call someone an idiot when you can summon the wit of Shakespeare from beyond the grave to give a sound verbal drubbing to some reeky, hedge-born canker blossom?
