All We Really Want Is a 30-Foot-Tall Border Fence and Cheap Gas
RECEIVED Wed., May 17, 2006
Sir,
Here in the United States of Soviet Republicans, also known as the Reds, we are not concerned about the issues that the rest of the Western world flouts, and we're not swayed by left-wing, anti-American media enterprise (the lame) rantings.
We do not care that our leaders wiretap our phones or record every phone call we make. We could care less that our exalted ruler gives out millions of dollars in no-bid contracts to his cherished corporate fellow-travelers. We do not mind that our glorious patriotic leaders send our sons and daughters to fight and die in a war designed to bolster sales for USSR's oil companies. It doesn't bother us that middle-income jobs are sent to foreign shores in order to keep the profit margin high for those who contribute to the governing oligarchy party. We don't give a darn that the army and CIA torture foreign cab drivers in our names.
All we want is a 30-foot-tall fence on our border to keep out people who would take our two-dollar-an-hour jobs and cheap gas so we can drive our SUVs the mile home each night from work so we don't miss American Idol.
