Potpourri...tying up loose ends

As we all know, charity begins at home. And the bigger and more luxurious the home, the better. That's what Republican tax cuts are all about. Charity.

But to make our tax cuts permanent, it's essential that President Bush finds ways to cut costs. For instance, it's cheaper to keep our troops in Iraq than in America because the cost of living in Iraq is so low. In Iraq, an AK-47 costs like $10.

Lately, President Bush has been working on another great money-saving idea. Perhaps you've heard that the President appointed John Bolton to the U.N. without the Senate's consent. And he just appointed Peter Flory as assistant secretary of defence, again without the Senate's consent.

What all this shows is the Senate is not that important. By cutting out the Senate, the United States government could easily save a billion dollars a year in salaries and expenses. Then there would be the huge savings in less pork-barrelling.

To many in the White House, President Bush has already expressed how much more efficient government would be if he could rule without those busybodies of the Supreme Court and the moochers in the House of Representatives. All he really needs is about 50,000 really loyal soldiers and America could run like clockwork.

Today, Wednesday August 3rd, 14 marines were killed in Iraq doing the democratic, freedom-loving work assigned to them by President George W. Bush. In the past 10 days, 43 marines have been killed in Iraq.

Within the last month, over 50 Londoners (America's allies in Iraq) were killed by despicable Muslim terrorists.

Then yesterday, Tuesday, August 2nd, a planeload of French people crashed at a Canadian airport — and not one, single person was killed or even badly injured. As you may know, neither the French nor Canadians are our allies fighting for freedom in Iraq.

Although I would never, ever question God and his Master Plan, I must admit I'm a little curious as to why cowardly French people and useless Canadians would walk away from a disaster when God-fearing Americans and brave Englanders are felled in the prime of their lives.

God's work on earth would certainly be so much more understandable if a few of those Frenchies had perished.

People seemed shocked that President Bush says he believes Rafael Palmeiro when the baseball player says he has no idea how steroids got into his body.

President Bush is a man of trust. So it's his nature to believe people.

When Ken Lay said he had no idea how $5 billion was removed from Enron, President Bush believed him.

When Karl Rove said he didn't reveal the identity of a CIA agent, President Bush believed him.

When Hans Blix said there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, President Bush believed him. But the cost of living in Iraq was just too good to resist.
