Follow us home
By Jack Doman
The administration�s
latest reason to stay the course in Iraq is, �If we leave they will follow us
home.� The president has repeated this in every speech or interview for the
past week or so. Some of the Republican candidates are parroting the line, as
well.

Spinning

October 30, 2006: Republican
National Committee Headquarters. A backroom. The elite Republican leadership
gathers round a mahogany conference desk. The mood is especially somber, but
this meeting starts like all the rest.

Professionalism on the march
By Frank Fuller
Professionalism is on the march here in Kartoon
Kountry. Our leader informed us of this recently by mentioning repeatedly all
the professionals who are toiling under vague guidelines in all parts of the
world. For them to be effective professionals, they need to know clearly what
the law is.

Madame Jane predicts: "With Bush in jail, a new 9-11 threat is avoided . . ."
By Jane Stillwater
"Expect the best," the cards say. What?
I always expect the worst! What can be worse than Bush in the White House, a
quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan, our phones being tapped, our liberties being
threatened, Jesus being dissed by war-mongering crackpots hyping The
Rapture and our economy on the skids?

On your mark, get set, bomb!
By Remi Kanazi
Ladies and gentlemen, grab your rockets and start
firing. The sovereign state of Lebanon must respond to the gross violation of
UN Resolution 1701, by destroying Israel if necessary. The Lebanese population
cannot wake up every morning, wondering if their rogue state of a neighbor is
going to drive them into the sea or possibly up to the mountains (it depends
which direction the Israeli forces drop in from).

God�s Middle East peace plan
By James Underwood
Jeremy saw it as he was scrolling through the latest
batch of images from the big telescope. He went past it before it registered,
then he went back. There it was. A black spot where stars should be. He looked
at the next image taken an hour later. Looked the same. The next image again
same. But the fourth image showed a tiny star to the upper left of the black
spot. The spot was moving.

New version of Nigerian phishing e-mail scam promises jobs, riches, poker and great lunches
By Frank
Fuller
It takes
a con artist to know a con artist. At least that's how I interpret this e-mail
I recently received. It seems to be a new version of the Nigerian phishing
e-mail that promises you millions, if you will
show good faith by sending some money to them.

Dear Pen Pal in America, I hope you are well.
After all the recent news stories in the world media about America, I�m just a
