It's been 15 years since Jack Handey came out with his first book of Deep Thoughts. Re-reading it over the weekend I couldn’t help but think of current events. For instance...
Young Republican chickenhawks: If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward. -
Neocon wet dreams: I hope in the future Americans are thought of as warlike, vicious people, because I bet a lot of high schools would pick "Americans" as their mascot. -
Conservative evangelicalism: If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did." -
The environment: If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. -
The future of civilization: I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas. -
A man ahead of his time.

General Plays Down Value Of Capturing Bin Laden
Feb. 23rd - The Army's highest-ranking officer said Friday that he was unsure whether the U.S. military would capture or kill Osama bin Laden, adding, "I don't know that it's all that important, frankly."
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why it "emboldens the enemy" in Iraq to say we're going to require that troops we send there have adequate armor and training, but it's "bold leadership" to say we just don't really care all that much about eliminating bin Laden?Remind me, which one of these enemies "followed us home" again?
