My Fellow Americans:As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed. Sincecongress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our missionin Iraq is complete.
This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all Americanforces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is nowtime to begin the reckoning.
Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countrieswhich have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list isshort. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland aresome of the countries listed there.
The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of theworlds nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributingcopies of both lists later this evening.
Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to thosenations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money savedduring the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of theIraqi war.
The American people are no longer going to pour money into third worldHell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.
Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.
In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect thismoney toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home.On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and wewill hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the faceof the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France ormaybe China.
To Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Yo, boys - work out a peace deal-NOW. Just note that Camp David is closed. Maybe all of you can go toRussia for negotiations. They have some great palaces there. Big tables,too. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations withFrance, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We areretiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.
I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the manyUN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaidparking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shreddedand crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. Youcreeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those ticketstomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and limos be turnedover to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.
A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we arelikely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want totry not pissing us off for a change. Mexico is also on List 2.PresidentFox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitudeadjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisionssitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security.So start doing something with your oil. Oh, by the way, the UnitedStates is abrogating the NAFTA treaty --- starting now.
We are tired of the one-way highway.
It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens.Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them be saying, "darntootin."
Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around theworld has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone onthe planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time toeliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World CupSoccer from America.
To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you andwe won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Drop dead.
God bless America.Thank you and good night.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it inEnglish, thank a soldier.

OTM. Sexuality is not points on a line, it's fuzzy areas inside a solid sphere.

― From a Land of Grass Without Mirrors (AaronHz), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)
It's not recieved well by either straight women or gay men. That's a fact, and not a very funny one for anyone who's trying to eek out a genuinely bisexual existence. Both groups doubt a bisexual's seriousness about any relationship (and you can see how they would!).

Girl: "So you love me, right?"
Bisexual boy: "Yes, of course."
Girl: "So that means you'll never wnt to have sex with a boy again?"
Bisexual boy: "Um..."
― Hank Tenbeer (kenan), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 06:14 (twenty-one years ago)
Also, the term 'bi' was trashed in the '90s by loads of clearly straight people who called themselves 'bi' because they thought it made them popular, which really pissed me off.

See, that's the trouble. Anyone I've known who's been with anyone who's "bi" has found them immature and incapable of commiting not just to one one person, but even to one sexual orientation. They found them flighty, personally, and not as any sort of prejudice. They tried, and they failed. They could not land Mr. Bisexual, because Mr. Bisexual was always more interested in being Mr. Bisexual than in them, and they all hate Mr. Bisexual for it. (I'm talking about four people I know specifically, one woman and three men.)
