Earth Day Quips

Now that a Baptist missionary's plane has been shot down under the aegis of narcotics interdiction in Peru, the war on drugs targeted substance list has escalated to include "opium of the masses."

A high-ranking member of the court-appointed Bush administration praised the dead Baptists  for "paying the ultimate price while participating in faith-based drug war games."

The clear message of the FTAA conference in Quebec is that informed dissent is one of the few substances that will not be allowed to pass freely through customs in the Western Hemisphere

FTAA summit motto: No borders for conscience free trade but massive boundaries for protesters of conscience!

Cmdr. Scott Waddle will not be court-martialed by the US Navy for sinking the Japanese vessel off of Hawaii. Instead he'll  receive an honorable discharge with a pension. Upon learning of the decision Waddle said he now plans to "go fishing and forget about this whole thing."

This being April, expect to see Court-appointed President Bush at more than just the Earth Die! celebration in Quebec City.

Jr is no hypocrite-- he doesn't just remember the goals of Earth Die! in April, he lives down to  them all year long.

Court-appointed President Bush says his goal for the FTAA summit is

"neighborliness." In keeping with this he has freely shared his recipes for " savory salmonella school chicken",  "arsenic water bagels", and "carbon dioxide dumb cocktails."

Inspired by George W. Bush's appointment to the U.S. presidency, Guido Mussolini, grandson of Benito Mussolini, is running for mayor of Rome. And don't look now but Katherine Harris has taken a villa in the nearby countryside.

Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill says the International Monetary Fund needs to focus more attention on prevention rather than wait for a financial crisis to engulf  struggling nations. He said the first step would be to drop any pretense of representative democracy in third world nations and simply make them into subsidiaries of profitable corporations.If O'Neill's plan is adopted the struggling nations will have no need for phony trade agreements to make it appear that it is the will of the people to be governed by heartless, bloodless corporate thugs, sparing them trips to phony gatherings like the FTAA summit  just to cede what little autonomy they have left to multinationals.
