Romney Wants To Drop F-Bomb On Iran

Des Moines Times-Advocate

IOWA CITY, September 19th

Governor Willard “Mitt” Romney’s plan to take the Republican presidential nomination with the endorsement of Ann Coulter and her plan to “invade [moslem] countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity” has hit a stumbling block. Senator John McCain upped the ante by releasing a campaign video where he sings “Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran” to the tune of the Beach Boys’ Barbara Ann. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is stepping up by seeking the nomination on the strength of his record ensuring that non-white people could be shot in the back with impunity while reaching for their wallets.

Many here say Romney took back the initiative at a debate last night declaring Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes him “want to drop the F-Bomb on Iran.” When asked for a clarification about the ‘F-Bomb’ the Romney campaign spokesman explained that because of campaign policy he “can’t say it out loud but we all know what it means.”

Ron Johnson, an Iowa City area farmer seeking a doctorate in Agronomy, wondered what the ‘F-Bomb’ was. “Did he mean the H-Bomb, a high pressure tritium fusion chain reaction bomb that can destroy whole cities at once? I don’t think that’s a very good idea,” Johnson said. Johnson said he would probably be attending the Democratic caucus next January but he was undecided on whom to support.

Larry McCarthy, a drunken yahoo shooting at bottles outside a roadside bar, was more enthusiastic. “Drop the bomb on ‘em all. That’ll show ‘em. That’s the way to get Iran back for nine eleven.” McCarthy says he intends to attend the Republican caucus but he isn’t ready to commit to supporting Romney.

White fade Seen In Utah, Neighbors

Neighbors
I saw this on my way through Salt Lake City today. The house on the right has two “I’m For 1” signs supporting the pirates trying to raid our public schools. On the left there is a hand made banner declaring “Impeach Bush And Cheney.” The ‘ch’ from ‘impeach’ and the ‘Ch’ from ‘Cheney’ are artfully shared.

I hope these neighbors are getting along.

White fade Why Bennett Hedges On Fourth Seat

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) hedged his support for the bill (S. 1257) to add a fourth congressional seat to Utah even as it needed just three more votes yesterday.

Does anyone wonder why he would back away from Utah’s best interests at a critical time? Maybe it’s because he knows the proposed second district would be an uncomfortable place for its current occupant and he might start looking across the Capitol lawn. I’m pretty sure Bennett, who is up in 2010, isn’t ready yet to start practicing the phrase “Senator Jim Matheson.”
