The Plain People of America



It sounds like the situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating at a rather astounding rate. In fact, Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, even ventured the idea that the Taliban (!) could be brought into the government there.

The Plain People of America: We thought the Taliban were turrists?

Well, there are good terrorists and bad terrorists. If the Taliban will just cooperate and let us build a pipeline across Afghanistan, then they will be good terrorists.

The Plain People of America: Oh.

Now we have the spectacle of the Republican leadership in the House or Representatives engaged in a cat fight over who knew Representative Foley was boinking interns.

The Plain People of America: Would that include that guy Clinton?

No, actually, this is with underage boys.

The Plain People of America: You mean like that T.V. show Big Love?

No, you idiot, that's polygamy.

The Plain People of America: Anyway, that guy Clinton was something else. I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

Yes, well lets move on. There is a lot of evidence that the President is getting ready to use nuclear weapons against Iran.

The Plain People of America: Yea, man! Nuke em!

But that might mean the price of gasoline will go to six dollars a gallon.

The Plain People of America: Oh. Can we take that back?

But, it probably doesn't make a difference since half of America will probably be under water in 25 years.

The Plain People of America: You mean like the Interstates too?

Especially the Interstates. Have you ever poled a barge?
