02/22/2006: ""Bush has lost his fucking mind" by Christopher Folino"

Brushing aside objections from Republicans and Democrats alike, Bush endorsed the takeover of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports by a state-owned-business in the United Arab Emirates. He pledged to veto any bill Congress might approve to block the agreement.

How bad of an idea is this? Ladies and Gentlemen, this is equal to when Eddie Van Halen signed Gary Cherone from Extreme to be the lead singer of Van Halen.

Here’s an exact quote from George “It sends a terrible signal to friends around the world that it’s OK for a company from one country to manage the port, but not a country that plays by the rules and has a got a good track record from another part of the world.”

Track record? How is this for a track record? Lawmakers from both parties have noted that some of the Sept 11th hijackers used the United Arab Emirates as an operational and financial base. In addition, critics contend the UAE was an important transfer point for shipments of smuggled nuclear components sent to Iran, North Korea and Libya by a Pakistani scientist.

So, how about we pass a law making it illegal for any foreign country to operate any of our seaports?
I don’t think GI Joe would let Cobra take command of their seaports, just because, Cobra was nice to them for a few years?

Other things equally as wrong in this world or if not worse

Animal will be lent out to help improve the image of “Halliburton”
The new spot will feature Animal dressed up like an insurgent attempting to blow up an oil field in Iraq, when suddenly a leash flies into the screen and wraps around his neck, and an attractive but strong Halliburton female employee in a mini-skirt is holding onto the lease. “Halliburton, we got the Middle East on a leash!”

As long as it’s not to cartooney, it will work!


By the way “Gamers” is doing great.
