Y’know, I’m the farthest thing from patriotic, but even I know that if it starts to rain, **take the fucking flags off the car.** Don’t you people know anything about venerating symbols of your country? Don’t let it get wet, don’t let it touch the ground! Idjits. ---

YOU DON’T EQUATE THE TWO! ---

**MrVisible** : > [@](#): > > I know, I should be alert. In order to be any more alert, I’d actually have to have multifaceted eyeballs, hearing like the Bionic Woman, the reflexes of an adolescent Playstation junkie, and mainline a quart of pure caffeine. We’re alert already! Telling us we should be more alert isn’t going to accomplish anything, except inspiring panic attacks that make the radio broadcast of the War of the Worlds look like the graduation ceremony at West Point. At least make up something for us to be specifically paranoid about, like say “Please do not eat any cheese products on Wednesday or Thursday between 6:15am and 1:29pm in the following states: Idaho, Massachusetts, and Kentucky. Thank you” or “We warn all citizens of the United States to be on the lookout for a skinny guy named Chip, and his lovable pet spider-monkey, Chichi. If you see these primates, please report them to your local authorities.” I just about fell over laughing from this. **Very** funny. Is it any particular kind of cheese? I mean, I wouldn’t want to hold off on the stilton if it’s only the gruyere I should be concerned about. ---

Amen to the flag business. I saw a girl at AC Moore the other day with an American flag ON HER ASS. That’s right, a flag across her left ass cheek. I actually laughed out loud and commented to my friend that “Nothing says “I love America” like a flag on your ass!” Get a fucking grip, people. Zette ---

I’m tired of going to the local deli and seeing a cup there that says “For the NYPD/FDNY”. They have enough money now. I’m tired of being told that if I buy new carpet or windows, then I’m being patriotic. I’m tired of hearing all these songs on the radio with news clips and speeches intertwined (mostly on country stations). I’m tired of getting emails about Osama Bin Laden toilet paper. I’m tired of hearing the conspiracy theories. “It’s all about the oil” or “It was done to increase military funding” I’m tired of the media complaining because Rumsfeld won’t tell them when and where they will bomb and if they can go along with them. I’m tired of media members looking to get their big break because of this (Ashley from MSNBC, take off the ‘hip’ glasses. You look stupid in them) \*\*What I’m not tired of is listening to the stories from the families about the loved ones who died. I think I owe it to them to listen. ---

I am tired of people saying we should kill Bin Laden. If we do, we martyr him. We open an entire new can o’ shit. Another example of our American short term gains screwing over the long term forcast. ---

I’m sick of when I get back at someone for being a dirty old poopybutt to me, that I’m “Stooping to their level”, bullPOOP! I’m giving them what they deserve so they will think twice about being such a BOOGERFACE. ---

\*\*Blah, donate your blood now! Blah! \*\* \*\*Blood \*\*The massive amounts of blood collected after 9-11-01 are only viable something like 45 days.(A nurse friend of mine who works for the Red Cross told me that.) If there is another need for blood, the Red Cross will have to get more donors. [sub]How much blood was actually used for the actual victims of the attacks? [/sub] \*\* How much do you earn…send it to us now. \*\* \*\*Money [/sub] The Red Cross alone has taken in something like $570 MILLION dollars for victims and survivors. And this is not the only fund. Stop Pandering. You have enough money. **Anthrax Hoaxes** All the morons who think they can pull off an anthrax scare and mail an envelope of talcum powder with a note in it that says, " You are now dead." should be executed. That would stop the problem post hence. \*\*Pentagon \*\* Is essentially page 97 news in the paper. \*\*Detroit Lions \*\* They should be given a healthy dose of anthrax. Just to sell out the Silverdome and put the fans out of their misery. I haven’t heard ( yeah , as if) one story from a widow/family member that has said, " Well, Bob died in the collapse of the tower. He was a womanizing bastard, freebased heroin, sold crack to children, put sugar in my gas tank, stole my bible and was a pedophile. I was in the process of divorcing him, but now, I will be a millionaire when the checks start coming in." ---

Oh, and I don’t care about **Mariah Carey’s work exhaustion/nervous breakdown.** There are real people out there that work a hell of a lot harder, longer hours, doing REAL FUCKING WORK for a hellof a lot less MONEY, SUPPORTING others and being reliable and - Pay ATTENTION MARIAH - don’t collapse BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TOO. One more thing: **Michael Jackson organizing a charity benefit song compliation.** Excuse me, but why are you still popular, you freak pedophile? ---
