ON THE SANE PAGE WITH OY
(Washington, D.C.)---The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a non binding resolution today sanctioning the domestic arm of the Blackwater Corporation to Tase any member of MoveOn.Org who uses the sentence, “General Petraeous don't betray us,” in a public forum or publication.
MoveOn. Org is a political activist group that has come to significance, primarily, via the internet.
Vice President Dick Cheney expressed appreciation for “the foresight shown by the upper house of the U.S. Congress in attempting to curb such speech by dead-ender, troublemaker political organizations.”
Eli Pariser, the executive director of MoveOn.Org, was apprehended by a Blackwater swat team shortly after the vote. Blackwater is known as the most comprehensive professional military, law enforcement, security peacekeeping, and stability operations company in the world. (Source: Blackwater web site.) Blackwater is a private corporation, headquartered in South Carolina with a pending base to be built near the U.S.-Mexican border not far from San Diego, CA .
Mr. Pariser was Tased at his residence and then rendered to a unknown location somewhere on Earth. No charges were filed against the MoveOn leader, and his cell phone goes unanswered, according to Fox News Channel.
Vice President Cheney, the President of the Senate, indicated that, “although the resolution passed by all members is non binding, it's good government for this action, as well as the Tasing and rendition of Mr. Pariser. Respect for our men in the military is paramount, even though we don't provide them with the kind of care they need, on return, should they become a casualty in the Middle East Occupation for Oil that spreads democracy and freedom, whether Iraqis want it or not.”
OOOOOOHHHHHhhhhh, yes: OY.

There are so many hits, I can not comment.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

I hate it when that happens. |

Easy mistake, a helluva lot of what Bush and his cronies do seems like satire or something from the Twilight Zone.
