Doesn't everyone here pretty much play the guitar?

What are you talking about? I thought everyone here played the accordion!

Yeah I do play guitar, Jack. Been a while, though. I've pointed that out a couple of times when people questioned my right to be here on the basis of musicality, but I guess they didn't see it because it wasn't tattooed on my jugular. Doesn't everyone here pretty much play the guitar? I take it you do.

He called Kim Jong Il a PYGMY, Old Guy! Damn! Said he loathed him and then said he would nuke him. Bull Clinton didn't make him say that! He called a nuke-wielding lunatic a PYGMY!

Yes, It is satire.

Now who made this mess? Mr Bill Clinton through diplomacy. Now let's see if Mr Bush can clean it up.

Does anybody here have a plan about what to do except bitch about George Bush?

That is good. Funny and true. For some reason it made me think of the 'Bush logic' behind this piece, which unfortunately is all too real:

HARD TO THINK HOW BUSH COULD MAKE A BIGGER MESS OF N. KOREA CRISIS

"...North Korea had been sending lots of signals that it was ready to deal, ready to open up and to make concessions. But the Bush administration denounced it as a "rogue state" and used it as a prime excuse to promote the national missile defense system. Bush, ever the soft-spoken diplomat, told a reporter that he "loathes" Kim Jong Il on a "visceral level" and also called the dictator "a pygmy." True, Kim Jong Il is vertically challenged and a repellent dictator, but insulting paranoiacs who have nukes is not smart. Then came the "axis of evil" speech in 2002. According to Bush's speechwriter David Frum, North Korea got thrown into the axis as an afterthought, apparently for rhetorical purposes. Unfortunately, Kim Jong Il, like, kind of took it personally. Then the Bush doctrine of "pre-emptive war" was announced, along with the policy of using nuclear weapons to maintain American hegemony. In October, North Korea admitted it was running a secret uranium enrichment program, so Bush promptly renounced the Agreed Framework and blah, blah, blah..."

Molly Ivins piece

(I mean, the North Korea thing is such a disaster it's almost comic. 'Pygmy'. '...thrown into the axis as an afterthought'. lol)

A fine piece of satire in the London Observer


Bush

Mr Johnson and Mr Patel are just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of other people in the street who I don't like and who -- quite frankly -- look at me in odd ways. No one will be really safe until I've wiped them all out. My wife says I might be going too far but I tell her I'm simply using the same logic as the President of the United States. That shuts her up.
