Fighting words (plus: vote early and vote often below)

George W. Bush: “I know all the war rhetoric, but it’s all aimed at achieving peace.”

Mickey Z: Okay, Dubya, but it’s where the bombs are aimed that has us worried.

+++

Henry Kissinger: “With proper tactics, nuclear war need not be as destructive as it appears.”

MZ: And with enough toilet paper, we can patch the hole in the ozone layer. It’s good science, goddammit.

+++

Jimmy Carter: “The destruction was mutual.”
(on the Vietnam War)

MZ: Guess I must have slept through the naked American girl shreiking down my block after being napalmed.

+++

Winston Churchill: “It’s simply a question of fashion, similar to that of whether short or long dresses are in.”
(on bombing civilians)

MZ: What would Hilfiger do?

Bombs away!!!
+++

Margaret Thatcher: “A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.”

MZ: Except, um, for those who, uh, well…those who actually get bombed, I guess.

(Nagasaki)
+++

U.S. Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin: “I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol”
(explaining how he defeated a Muslim militia leader in Somalia, 1993)

MZ: Lawyers for Moses are examining copyright law at this very moment.

(Sorry...wrong Moses)
+++

George W. Bush: “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

MZ: Finally...truth in advertising.

(Help...)

Election Day

So, who are these people who inhabit the comments board here...and what shall we call them?

Expendables or Fungibles...or maybe Disposables?
Dispensables, Replaceables, or Just Plain Superfluous
How about The Mix @ Mick’s?
I like Z Team or perhaps even A Team: http://tinyurl.com/dqb9b

P.S. I pity the fool who doesn’t treat Mr. T’s mother right:
