We are a silly, silly people.
But there is good news! The evil monster Martha Stewart may soon be off the streets! Soon everywhere this will be the scene across America.
Little Johnny: Mom, why can't I go out anymore?
Mom: It's not safe dear, Martha Stewart is out there lurking. Stay inside.
Dad bursts in: Honey, they just locked Martha Stewart in jail!
In unison: Hooray! Now little Johnny is safe!
Yes, our government is spending millions on this. AND there are people who really now feel better and give a rat's ass!
We are a silly, silly people.
Airport screeners can't really screen. Look over there! A man of middle- eastern origin wearing an "Osama was right" t-shirt and "America must die" ballcap is sweating profusely and twitching! Shhhh! You want to get me fired? We can't PROFILE! Wait, Wait! Hey Granny, are those tweezers in your purse. Sound the alarm! clear the airport!
We are a stupid people.
Hell, after 9/11 the people who did it, bragged about it publicly. They told us they would kill Americans whenever they could years ago. They vow to do more of it. Soooo. We launch an investigation into who did it! What the hell. I think I could have saved them a few million dollars! Even still we have a percentage of whacko's out there who believe that Bush ordered the planes to hit NYC! We never landed on the moon, the Holocaust was a fraud and on and on.
I think I know why so many hate us across the world. Because we are morons and they laugh at us!
And hey they may let murdering rapists out of jail in 24 hours because they are a victim of circumstance and surely it's not their fault, but they got old Martha and we can all sleep easier tonight!
