Fools, I smirked, the world war has been going on for years now. The thing is that the Prez has called it a “Global War on Terrorism” and the geniuses in the media think that there’s a difference between global war and world war. And the idiots who elected George Bush are unable to think for themselves and recognize that the terms are synonymous; the world is a globe! (Picture Lewis Black delivering that last sentence.)
Recent events in London and Egypt, as well as the ongoing strife in Asia make it clear to anyone with eyes and a brain that the people who are hostile to American imperialism can strike anywhere on the planet (another synonym for world). If Mr. Bush weren’t so clumsy in his linguistic abilities he might feel inspired to call his war a planetary war; that sounds good and pretentious.
The truth is that the smirk is my defense mechanism which was activated by the pain that comes with the ugly truth - that the Prevaricator in Chief has been able to fool most of the people most of the time.
