Let me guess, you believe God created the world in 3 days, the stork delivers babies, gays are satanic unless they're Republicans, any war is a good war, farm animals are marriage material and the environment should be as polluted as possible so long as rightwing corporate interests are making short-term profits.

It's funny stuff, but has a typical slant - likely written by a pssed off white guy above 45 I would guess, pretty much like a Pat Buchanan, something like that? Let's see, writer obviously is against: The environment Species preservation Contraception Homosexual union rights Writer obviously virulently anti-Muslim - Iraq even nuked! anti-France, well, most cons are against them anti-Clinton - now even the daughter is fair game.. anti-post office anti-govt. in general - especially any govt. funded studies anti-woman - misogynistic obsessed with fat people anti-massachusetts - like France, and easy target of the right wants strong punishment - or just kill all criminals anti-regulation and in some cloud that tax rates could ever be allowed up to 75% again? sounds like a real right-winger wrote this in an attempt at humor. Typical older US white radical neocon male: anti-environment, regulation, against all Clintons, France, Massachusetts, regulation, taxes, against due process and rights for the accused, against women having the right to decide when/if to reproduce (as long as the male can have his fun unobstructed by govt. or anyone else of course), and then the misogynistic stuff floats through also. It's funny, but notice they don't go after redneck white guys, hypocrites like the neocons, or people that just pretend to be patriotic, wave the flag like morons, and help recruit 18-19 year olds to go to their death by lying to them. Easier to go after the Clintons and France here. sigh Ah, but for the good old days before the 1960s: White men had it easy, no foreign competition. everyone spoke English, women knew their place, or you'd show them, gays were called fgs, and stayed in the closet, what a wonderful time in the US of A...t (I know - it's a joke - but they wrote it with a BIG TIME SLANT) >> Headlines from the year 2029?>> Ozone created by electric cars now killing millions in the seventh largest country in the world, Mexifornia formally known as California. White minorities still trying to ! have English recognized as Mexifornia's third language. Spotted Owl plague threatens northwestern United States crops and livestock. Baby conceived naturally - - scientists stumped. Couple petitions court to reinstate heterosexual marriage. Last remaining Fundamentalist Muslim dies in the American Territory of the Middle East (formerly known as Iran) Iraq still closed off; physicists estimate it will take at least 10 more years before radioactivity decreases to safe levels. France pleads for global help after being ta! ken over by Jamaica. Castro finally dies at age 112; Cuban cigars can now be imported legally, but President Chelsea Clinton has banned all smokin George Z. Bush says he will run for President in 2036. Postal Service raises price of first class stamp to $17.89 and reduces mail delivery to Wednesdays only. 85-year, $75.8 billion study: Diet and Exercise is the key to weight loss. Average weight of Americans drops to 250 lbs. Japanese scientists have created a camera with such a fast shutter speed, they now can photograph a woman with her mouth shut. (hey! I just sent it. I didn't write it!) Massachusetts executes last remaining conservative. Supreme Court rules punishment of criminals violates their civil rights. Average height of NBA players now nine feet, seven inches. New federal law requires that all nail clippers, screwdrivers, fly swatters and rolled-up newspapers must be registered by January 2036. Congress authorizes direct deposit of! formerly illegal political contributions to campaign accounts. Capitol Hill intern indicted for refusing to have sex with congressman. IRS sets lowest tax rate at 75 percent. Florida voters still having trouble with voting machines.

Try Mine *** My version - Headlines for 2040??? >> Final 1500 resident of Miami and New Orleans evacuated as last parts of both cities destroyed by rising sea levels caused by global warming. Nationwide prayer service to be held Sunday in the Evangelical States of America (formerly the Southern United States before their forced separation) Last American Eagle dies in captivity, after 20 year effort to save it and other species devasted by pollution from old United States. Conservative meeting in Orlando in 2039 still argued that species neither evolve, or will be allowed to go extinct, depsite overwhelming facts. Gene responsible for homophobia identified 15 years ago - now becomes practical treatment. Fundamentalists flee, afraid of being treated for their disorder. Latest tabloids full of story about a group of Ohio women who used new technology to force a group of homophobic and misogynistic men to carry babies to full term. These men were some of the few still against women's reproductive rights, and the women took the law into their own hands.. Middle East Wars, beginning with first incomplete Iraq War of 1990, and Second failed American war on Iraq of 2003-2009, now total over 200,000 Americans dead, and 2 trillion in total costs. Saudi minister jokes that all they have now left is irradiated sand. France and the rest of the European Union, which now includes Russia and Turkey, now have over 1 billion citizens, and the top GDP on the planet. China is a close 2nd, followed by India, and further back - parts of the former US, which now has mainly entertainment and menial service jobs. A flourishing tourist and casino industry has resulted in an increasing standard of living for the Cubans since Castro died around 2010. It was recommended by the World Court sometime after 2010 that George W. Bush be indicted on war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The US refused to extradite him, and he returned to his ranch in Crawford, Texas in shame in 2009. Crowds of families who lost loved ones in the illegal Iraq wars still gather outside the fenced compound to yell insults at him. Massachusetts, and the rest of New England, parts of Canada, and some Great Lakes states formed a New United States in the 2020s, sometime after the fundamentalists split in the Southern US. US Supreme court ruled in the 2020s that all US citizens must have basic housing, education, healthcare. This is now a right that few people in 2040 would question. There has been a balanced budget in most of the former US for the last decade, after the World Bank and IMF bailouts in the 2030s. This was initiated after the US dollar collapsed after the previous govt. had run up a 50 trillion total debt. Florida voters still having trouble with voting machines.
