Would I be permitted to appear before Bush in the image of Jesus Christ and
urge him to exit Iraq?

Tim has always alternated between the two names. Besides both of them
have the phrase "Tim Bruening" so it's an easy morph to keep up with.

I'll appear in the skies, perform miracles, and command people to
eliminate nuclear weapons, cut military budgets, and use the savings to
fight poverty and hunger and disease.

Not yet it ain't. But we're getting there. More and more people are
being born every day, and most are living longer than nature intended.
We need to start killing people at a much faster rate. We should start
with those that are happily living on Death Row, eating up our tax money
day after day with their fried chicken and baked beans room-service
dinners and free room and board.

And the penguins. Don't forget about the penguins. Shifty nefarious
little creatures. Never trusted them and I never will.

Don't know about whales and baby seals, but those giant electric penguins
are pretty scary.

AIDS is a type of life. Nuclear weapons is the current technology
most likely to cure life.

South Korea had nuclear weapons in the early 50's? And Kuwait is also a
nuclear power?

The U.S. had nuclear weapons, which did not deter North Korea or Iraq.

The US is too much of a pussy to use nukes because the Chinese or
Russians might swat back. The US is a gutless country that can only
attack teeny weeny nations that can't fight back.

Other countries have to realize that the US would not use nukes unless it
was in retaliation (to something they don't have). The deterrent is in the
use of a pre emptive nuke attack.

Is that your best dodge?

When China shot down our spy plane, Bush licked yellow ass.

He should have gone to war. But the US will NEVER attack a nation
that might defeat it.

It can only preach superiority while it swats nations like Iraq that
are smaller than Arkansas. And in a period of time longer than it
took the US to defeat the Nazis, we still have no victory.

Thanks, RIPiglicans. Heckuva job.

Idiots.
