…from mass destruction math instruction:

New York October 19
A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carryingweapons of math instruction.
“Al-gebra is a problem for us,” Gonzalez said. “They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns,’ but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to every triangle.’
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, “If God had wanted us to have better Weapons of Math Instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.” White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President during his entire administration.

Yesterday g w bush said:

So their answer is to deny people this choice by raging against the forces of freedom and moderation. This struggle has been called a clash of civilizations. In truth, it is a struggle for civilization. We are fighting to maintain the way of life enjoyed by free nations. And we’re fighting for the possibility that good and decent people across the Middle East can raise up societies based on freedom and tolerance and personal dignity.

We are now in the early hours of this struggle between tyranny and freedom.

He is so right and so wrong.

Yes, we are in the early hours of the fight for freedom and liberty, the early hours of the struggle for civilization.

It is not, though, a fight between the United States and al Quaeda or the United States and some phantom called Islamofascism or the United States and the concept of terrorism.

It is a fight between people throughout the world and those individuals or groups who would use force to achieve their ends. These latter, be they street corner thugs or state actors are our enemy.

  • This war will not be over until suicide bombers are a distant memory.
  • It will not be over until large standing armies are a distant memory.
  • It will not be over until people throughout the world can voluntarily exchange goods and services without interference.
  • It will not be over until people throughout the world can voluntarily choose their relationships.
  • It will not be over until, well, this list can be much longer but that will be for a manifesto.

May it be over soon.

Perhaps some hundreds or thousands of these scattered around Bagdad and environs will protect Americans and Iraqis from the hell that dick and george have created:

These things are apparently sprouting up in Beijing:

Evidently a necessary invention in a world filled with terror, the structure is not only bulletproof, but can withstand a 15 ton blast as well.

Are the Chinese expecting something?
