Just Another Summit

Secretary Clinton held out an olive branch to the Taliban saying that we need to understand and address their concerns. The Taliban responded by vowing to attack Washington soon. Now, I didn’t expect them to come away singing the “Star Spangled Banner” but didn’t the liberals promise us that all we had to do was speak nice to these people and all our problems would go away? Hum, something must have gotten mixed up in the translation. Considering how hard Liberal to English can be, I imagine Arabic to Liberal can be tricky sometimes.



The president is flying off to another summit and as usually the peace-loving tree huggers of the world have gathered to shout absurd slogans, throw beer bottles and overturn cars. When Bush was president, the press referred to them by their official title “Protestors”. But now in the liberal zest to rename things, the media is simply calling them anarchists. Now I ask you, just because it’s Obama they are protesting, is that really fair? Next they’ll be calling those valiant Taliban freedom fighters vowing to blow up the White House, “Terrorists”!



And in an effort to save the planet from water pollution, the wise state politicians in Washington (the state) have banned phosphates from detergents. Sanctioned substitutes are ineffective in getting dishes clean. This has led to a slew of caravans smuggling Cascade from neighboring Idaho. So now if you live in Washington and want clean dishes, you either do them by hand (throwing your dishwasher in the landfill) or burn extra gasoline making trips to Idaho. Someone must be taking environmental lessons from Al Gore! State officials vow to crack down on the smugglers. And no doubt they have the manpower to do it now that law enforcement agents not longer have to go after drug dealer and pot smokers.
