No Carrots, All Stick

When we invade France, carrots will work just fine.

Terrorists need to meet the stick.

NOW THAT MADONNA HAS SPOKEN UP ....

What a relief. Finally our military commanders Iraq and President Bush's advisors have some expert guidance on what to do in Iraq. Madonna has finally broken her gut-wrenching silence and has informed the world as to the correct course of action. Madonna has now called for the United States to withdraw its troops from Iraq. And, true to Hollywood custom, Madonna decided to share her foreign policy expertise with the world from a foreign platform .. an interview with British radio. Madonna, who has successfully hidden her wide ranging knowledge on foreign affairs for quite some time now, says that she "(doesn't) want American troops to be in Iraq, period. My feelings are, 'can we just all get out?'"

No word from the White House yet. I'm sure the president's advisors will be meeting this morning to discuss the wide-raging implications of Madonna's pronouncements. Meanwhile, a grateful world breaths a sigh of relief. Finally, someone with some sense has stepped forward to save the day.

Political Blogger Mass Suicide To Be Discovered In Several Weeks.

theonion.com

BOSTON—By examining web-traffic data for left-leaning DailyKos.com, researchers have predicted that the mass suicide of 14 political bloggers will likely be discovered sometime in mid-December. "After months of doing nothing but sit alone in our rooms at our computers, trying to get our message to the people, we lost the election anyway," read the still-unread suicide pact posted Nov. 3. "We'd rather be dead than live in a country as fucked up as this one." The bodies will most likely be found by property managers, long-estranged parents, or neighbors returning copies of Joe Trippi's The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
