Don't Brush Your Teeth ...Or the Terrorists Win!

The news came out recently that the super efficient defenders of all things good and right have recently stopped a plot to blow up planes flying to America. Now I don't want to come across as cynical but I have to admit that sometimes I get the suspicion that our Presidentfuhrer and ToBlo the Marionette might be shading the Truth a little bit. It seems convenient to me that in a news cycle that includes Generals suggesting that their might someday be a civil war in Iraq (How exactly does that happen? Do they say “Excuse me Old chap” before shooting one another and maybe “Sorry Old Boy” after? I don't know about you but shooting each other seems pretty damned uncivil to me) and that includes his Dimwittedness holding a rather unpopular position on the Israel-Lebanon falling out. (Well unpopular with me anyway) that woop-dee-doo our side foiled a dastardly plot to steal our precious bodily fluids. I'm just saying it seem...well...timely. Maybe they sync their calendars somehow. I'm not making light of the horrors of terrorist attacks. In fact classmates died in the towers on 9/11. I'm a pretty stable person so my reaction to that day wasn't to find someone to blame or shoot it was rather to grieve and to wonder if their might not be a way to bring justice to the world in a way that might make killing one another fall from its current place on the top of everybody's to do list.

But I'll give props to the state, it is important that no one be allowed to brush their teeth after eating one of those nummy styrofoam airplane meals. 4 out of 5 dentists surveyed agree that if you prevent cavities...the terrorists have won.

In other news, my Shia Muslim coworker and friend (don't worry I patted him down) showed me a wildly entertaining video clip from Sky news of some Scots MP. (I would do the research and link it for you here but I am; A. too lazy, B. Have no reliable internet access and C. see A.) Anyway he is shoving his point about the culpability of Israel and the right of Hezbollah to defend itself so far up the Sky Bim's ass she's coughing it up like a fur ball. Made me want to sing “God save the Queen” and drink lime juice right then and there. (Probably Stuff the Queen and a dram of Ouesquebach is more appropriate) Cheers to my terrorist friend and Salaam Alaichim.

Edit. A friend has located the interview and the brilliant speaker is George Galloway.
