The Annual Tomfoolery Awards!

As the year nears an end, I want to give special recognition to the best and worst idiots from the American political arena.
The Year of Our Lord Two-Thousand and Six has been an especially interesting year, and here is a brief list of reasons why and persons responsible:

1. A big thumbs up to the Iraqi people, who, after waiting two years to learn how to do it right, have begun killing the Iraqi people! Maybe we really should invade every country in the middle east. You go, Haji!

2. A big, manly pat on the butt goes out to Ted Haggard, who brought us Jesus Camp, The Movie, all the while snorting crank and biting the proverbial pillow. I feel good knowing that the President's Top Spiritual Advisor was out doing research so he would REALLY know what he was talking about when he spoke of sin and death and Hell.

3. A nod and smile goes out to Vicente Fox, who has learned the best way to provide health-care and higher income for his people, all the while saving national treasury funds for important stuff, like BMW's and Mercedes.

4. A hearty punch in the arm to Rush Limbaugh for making fun of that weasel, Michael J. Fox, who has somehow learned how to act as if he has something wrong with him.

5. Finally, a respectful bow goes out to our brilliant commander-in-chief for his strategic termination of Donald Rumsfeld(The Devil), and his subsequent hiring of a guy with the same last name as a really smart fellow.

I wish to thank my Mother, also, who taught me that the age-old Chinese greeting, "May you live in interesting times." was actually a curse.
