		<description>In a similar vein, from an &#039;Egrow&#039; on littlegreenfootballs: &lt;blockquote&gt;There will be a Democratic president elected in 2008. We will be attacked around 2009-2010 with a large scale operation where hundreds of thousands will die.

The Democrats with their elitest attitudes of socialism will call for great self sacrifice.

&quot;Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.&quot; Individuality is unimportant. Conformity is a priority.

But by this time all of our technology capacity and military secrets will have been stolen, sold, or drained. We will loose the war against the Mob. America will be thrown to the ground mugged, kicked and beaten, and finally stomped in the face by the boot of facisim until we are dead. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, naturally...</description>

		<description>Semi-serious question: do people think commenter &quot;Take Back The Government&quot; is for real, or just a prankster trying to start a stampede?  Yeah, I know some wingnuttery is receding from our galaxy at speeds satire can&#039;t keep up with.  Nonetheless... that final &quot;Iran not Iraq&quot; correction was Pooteresque genius, but it smacked of art. High art.</description>

		<description>Those sneaky UN people even hid their plans in plain view - if you check it out, they don&#039;t even deny that their HQ is in New York, where they can just walk onto US soil any time they like.</description>

		<description>Actually, it&#039;s the &lt;i&gt;UN&lt;/i&gt; that ties together the &lt;i&gt;communist socialist islamofascism&lt;/i&gt;, with their white tanks and hidden signposts in the US ready to roll in once the guns are taken away.

...At least, that&#039;s what the guy with the huge American flag (made in China) that was draggingits tail on the ground behind his truck said.</description>

		<description>joe/#12 - it&#039;s been echoed to various places. Here:

Shit Sandwich Suprisingly Tasty; I Give It A B+

I know what you&#039;re thinking: &quot;Why should I try a shit sandwich?&quot; I might have felt the same way a few days ago, but now I&#039;m a believer.

I was chatting with an administration insider over the weekend. During a sidebar in the conversation, it was intimated to me that President Bush&#039;s favorite late-night snack was a &quot;shit sandwich&quot; with tartar sauce on the side. That encouraged me to give it a shot with an open mind. I know the president is intuitive yet discriminating in his choices, and isn&#039;t afraid to go against the conventional wisdom. He also needs a lot of energy to get up early and fight the GWOT each day.

So I tried it. The verdict? Earthy, no-nonsense flavor. The tangy contrast of the tartar sauce is initially off-putting, but like Bush, I&#039;m in this game for the long term. I&#039;ll give it some time to grow on me. It&#039;s easily a B+ snack.

UPDATE: My insider friend just called me again; apparently I misheard his end of the conversation, it was a fish sandwich. Well, that shouldn&#039;t surprise me. In addition to introducing bold new ideas, Bush has always shown an appreciation for the traditional eating values that made this country great in the first place.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;communist islamofascism&lt;/i&gt;

This is a good point. Clearly there is a demand out there to tie all the evildoers into one global anti-American conspiracy - like back in the old good cold-war days when everything was neatly tied together. Moral Clarity.

I think the ministry of information got carried away with the Islamofascists and left Red China, Putin (on his bad day), Chavez, Ortega, Castro, and, of course, the Mexicans - left them just hanging there. Wingnuts need a neat compact package.
