Bill Clinton Caused 9/11

[Anniversary rerun. As I told skitch, it's a little ironic that I had to copy/paste this from kos. Ouch.]

In our month long celebration of all things 9/11, it seems warily appropriate to get all the cards on the table. 5 years after this disaster, we still don't know whose fault it is. Until now.

With a presidential record that reveals that Clinton was more interested in the domestic health - economic, physical and social - of his fellow citizens than he was in "nation building" and "marching freedom spreading democracy" like a wheat thresher, it becomes abundantly clear just how asleep at the wheel our 42nd president (42? Have there been that many already? Really?) was, exactly.

He failed to catch bin Laden during the movie Black Hawk Down

I mean, come on. Obi Wan Kenobi practically had him in his sights when he took out that one tank thingie with a grenade launcher in order to help save the dude from Pearl Harbor. Not him, the other one. No, you're thinking of the dude from Troy and Munich. I'm talking about Colonel William ("Wally") Sharp from Armageddon.

He was soft on terror

After the incident in Somalia, all of the awe and fear we'd built up over the years made the first Gulf War look like the Bay of Pigs, literally.

He was a moderate Democrat

I.e., "pussy". But what would you expect from someone who was...

A draft-dodging faggot who never saw one day of combat

Could someone please explain to me, preferably slowly, why we would elect someone who had never fought in a war? It verges on the comical!

His vice president was an insane lunatic

All that weenie Al Gore did for 8 long years was to yammer on and on and on about the environment, predicting that if we didn't ease back off on all the consuming we'd suffer massive fluctuations in the weather, causing unprecedented natural disasters. I'm still chortling at that one, retard. Newsflash! Tsunamis and hurricanes are not caused by the weather, doofus. They're caused by God. Everybody knows that. I guess the last laugh's on you, pinhead!

He spoke thoughtfully and in complete sentences when not reading a teleprompter

Just who the fuck does he think we are? Marshall Scholars? Quit that "reasoning" and "oratory" and "presidential rhetoric" and give us the meat and potatoes. (Better: pork skins and Schlitz.)

He was sexually active

Face it, folks: the last thing we need in the Oval Office is a president engaging in various sex acts while he's "the most powerful man on our planet, earth". It sends the wrong message, i.e, "I am a human being." Is that really the image we want splattered all over the world for all its inhabitants to see?

He was so busy running the country that he forgot to run for office

You just don't do that, kids. You just don't. When the majority of politicians' time is spent vying for the opportunity to spend the majority of their time vying for the opportunity to spend the majority of their time doing just that, it creates a Zen-like flow of psychological open-endedness and participates, via its circularity, in the very circle of life that they talk about in The Lion King. And who wouldn't want that?

On the other hand, actually getting things done creates a vacuum and the illusion that you're no longer needed. That's bad (for) business.

He wasn't fanatically Zionist

You can't achieve peace in the Middle East unless you're prepared to suck some kosher dick. Israel is the only, and I mean the only sane nation in the greater Middle Eastern metropolitan area. If Middle Eastern Peace were a restaurant, then Israel would be the uppity maitre 'd, and he'll be happy to inform you, after saying, "And you are...", that reservations are required months in advance, even years for larger parties. "Perhaps you should try that new place, Iraqi's Quagmire, just down the street," he'll say. "That may be more in your price range. And if I'm not mistaken they do accept reason and logic."

You don't talk to those people with reason and logic. You talk to those people with cruise missiles and artillery shells, RPGs and landmines, IEDs and SUVs. The language of anti-personnel devices and collateral damage is the only language those desert apes can understand. And you know it.

So, to sum up: Bill Clinton caused 9/11 because of Armageddon (not the movie this time), John F. Kennedy, moderation, AWOL (Absent With Out Leaving), "global cooling", stupidity-as-empowerment, productivity, and anti-Semitism.

Truth hurts, doesn't it?

I've got tell you, I'm getting tired of chasing everyone around. This part here, that part there, this frayed, that wikkied, some other thing blogged, some other goddamn thing arenaed. (And am I better? I am not.)

And yeah, that Federer cat is pretty good. I mean, I guess. But just like you jokers, he's not sufficiently considerate of me. I came back in for the second half of the match and it was already over.

Heh, heh, "splattered all over the world". (Though strictly speaking he limited his splattering to the Oval Orifice.)

Ain't nothin' wrong with an occasional rerun when the material's good... However, why're you not publishing your new fray, wikifray, etc., material here as well as on the fray, wikifray, etc.? Seems like a no-brainer. (But don't stop publishing on the fray, wikifray, etc., 'cause it's great entertainment to see how the unwashed masses respond to you.)

Hey, it's a good bet that engaging in a rousing bit of BB8 analysis will keep your mind off TOTGA...

Yo, Keif.

I'm still trying to mix it up, get my feet wet, trying to generate some traffic. You make me laugh.

rundeep mentioned that Roger's playing isn't fun to watch because he doesn't play with passion. I find that ridiculous. [ducking] He is a dancer. John did a blurb about why Henin and Federer are #1. He said a lot of it had to do with their footwork.

I love watching Roger play because he's so passionate; it's just that he doesn't where it on his sleeve like Nadal or Roddick. Wanted 5 sets. Got 3. But, unlike you I planned ahead and got to see every point, every shot.

Yo, skitch.

I've been enjoying your spoiler alerts quite a lot. Watched Sunday and last Thursday. Should be interesting. But tonight, the greatest of all emo-porn starts: The Biggest Loser. So I guess I'll have to get both TVs a-burnin'.

I plan on posting most of the stuff here as well. The "FOX News 9/11" thingie probably not since by tomorrow it won't be topical again already. So I'm just going to post "Iraq Is So Not Vietnam" here, The New Fray, and wiki. And thanks. People don't leave too many comments, but I guess I appreciate the thumbs up thingie. Whatever.

Thanks, guys. Please keep writing. I enjoy reading and it gives me ideas...

Bastard. I didn't say he wasn't passionate. I said he was coldly focused perfection (sort of the Bjorn Borg Nordic type). I also would rather watch him v. Nadal because that is just beefcake heaven, and it brings out Federer's best qualities to have to fight like that.

[still ducking]

Sorry if I misinterpreted you. Again.

I was almost certain it was going to be a Wimbledon rematch. I think Nadal's problem will always be staying healthy. He really beats his body up the way Roger doesn't. Johnny Mac mentioned that as well, if I recall correctly.

Henin blew me away. I don't think I'd ever seen her play. But when I saw her backhand Saturday night, I was mesmerized.

Apologies. What does it mean that I'm crushed that there's no tennis on this weekend? Every year when the tournaments start I'm taken aback by how beautiful a sport it is. I guess there's always the baseball playoffs to look forward to.

I wonder how many languages Roger speaks. At least 3, if not 4?

(My worship of him is starting to make me feel uncomfortable.)

Most Swiss speak 2-3 languages fluently, and know a little of at least 2 more. The country has 4 official languages (including Romanche, which is spoken by like a group of 18 people), so everyone pretty much speaks at least 2 of the following (Italian, Swiss German, French) plus English, really well. We had a Swiss Managing Director who would literally have two phone calls going simultaneously in different languages. It blew me away how he could process it so quickly. I met a French couple when we were in Venice last year and I got so confused just trying to make small talk (I did the Italian course before we left and it made me forget all my school French) it embarrassed me. I have a stunningly beautiful Brazilian single girlfriend who speaks 6 fluently. I think she's still single because she intimidates way too many people. Plus she's really nice. Actually, you have a lot in common. She waited for 7 years for a guy to ask her to marry him. It didn't work out.

(private to rundeep: in case it doesn't occur to him to ask... send him her phone number!)
