Political Cortex: Brain Food for the Body Politic

Now, to be completely fair, I'm exempting you from deaths caused by the lax regulations you put in on air pollution, regulations that have certainly increased both death, disease, and birth defects.  I'm even giving you a pass on the American's who drowned in New Orleans while you were polishing up your guitar skills.   If we added those in, you'd have long ago made it past this hurdle.  Nope, I'm just talking about your own personal, patented "War on Terror."  

More Americans have now died fighting your War on Terror than were killed in the 9/11 attacks.  I have to hand it to you, George.  It took Bin Laden nearly a decade of planning to kill that many Americans.  You managed it in half the time.  I hope you still have some more of those fancy medals to hand out, because it's clearly time to line up your staff and decorate them all like Christmas trees.  

And that bit about fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over there?  You're dead right on that part, W.   After all, why should they come over here when you're serving up Americans on a plate?  I mean, it's like how I used to have to drive miles when I got that White Castle craving, and now there's one right down the street.  You opened up a concession on fresh, young Americans right in their neighborhood, where folks who would never had a thought of coming over here can pick off a few without breaking a sweat.  They've got to be grateful.

I'm not sure how ol' Osama is feeling about this.  It's tough holding on to the top spot of anything in this highly competitive world, and now you've bumped him out of the #1 position.  I suspect he'll try to pull a few strings, come up with some "specials," to regain the lead.

But I know you won't make it easy, Mr. Bush.  When it comes to making sure Americans die, you're just hard to beat.  And of course you've spent a lot more on this than Osama.  Heck, he probably pulled off his deal for the cost of a Hummer or two.  Still, they say you've got to spend money to make money, and there's no doubt your pals have made a pile off this war.  So I think you've got your priorities in order.

Now that you've topped Osama, who knows where you'll go next?  I don't guess you can match that number on the McDonald's signs, because there's just not that many Americans available.  Frustrating, I know.  But I'm sure you'll find a worthwhile goal.

Once again, my congratulations.  That's showing those terrorists!
