Icchan of Spent Casings has called it quits. I hate to see a good blogger go, but I hope I’ll still see his comments from time to time.

Michele, the most Blood-Hungry blogger, posted in the comments to my last post that we should bomb France. It’s a common sentiment among the Hawks, as, since the dawn of time, man has always yearned to bomb the French. Immediately after the successful test flight at Kitty Hawk, Orville Wright’s (or was it Wilbur’s?) first statement was, “If we could make it fly a bit higher and a bit longer, we could bomb the crap out of France!” Less than seventy years later, America set foot on the moon, but, still, to this day, we have never bombed France. Why is that? Fear of having to deal with French refugees, perhaps? Whatever the reason, one of America’s legacies goes unfulfilled– but I say no longer. We should start a grassroots movement to have France bombed by the U.S. military, finally using the internet for something useful instead of just the instant dissemination of porn. I’m willing to set up a new page devoted to lobbying the government to bomb France. On it, we can have essays about why we should bomb France and all the good that will bring to the world. Maybe we can also have poetry about bombing France and drawings by children of Paris getting blown apart. Plus, we can start one of those online signature things like Not In Our Name – except maybe it could be “Please, In Our Name” – allowing people to put their names down in support of bombing France. The signatures and essays can then be sent to members of Congress in a lobbying effort to get an attack underway. So, is there interest? If there is, I would be willing to devote some time to this important project (though I might need some help with the html).

The Bush administration has decided to suspend oil shipments to the North Koreans until they dismantle their nuclear weapons program. They already have like no food, but now they won’t even be able to drive to McDonalds when they get hungry. We should post our troops all along the North Korean border so they can stand there and point and laugh at the stupid, starving, oil-less Commies.
South Korea and Japan don’t want the shipments to be stopped because they want to appease North Korea and not make them mad. Man, it’s like all nations other that the U.S. are either violent and evil or whiny little pansy. What America really needs to do to keep its standing in the world is bomb the crap out of a nation that is usually considered an ally. This will drive home the point that, as scary as some nations are out there, we’re much scarier and we will hurt you. Don’t appease them; appease us.
