May 16, 2003 Dr. Germ! Mrs. Anthrax! Oh, and Baghdad Bob! Haven't you been craving names like this since "Batman and Robin" went off the air? Or is it a new iteration of "Dexter's Laboratory" for adults? What is up with the comic book names of some of Iraq's "Most Wanted"? Does the Bush administration think we're stupid? Do they think we dream in color, like the New York Times? I'm confused as to who would be the heroes of the Bush administration combatting these evil-doers. It's apparent to me, with Armed Forces Day coming up, that the heroes would be the anonymous Coalition fighters who are ensuring our freedom yet again, in another millenium. It's apparent to me that the heroes are those on the homefront who are providing for the families of deployed soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen, like Mike Gallagher and Sean Hannity. I wonder when the Dixie Chicks are going to donate a portion of their "Top Of The World" tour proceeds to the heroes who have protected their constitutional right to say and do what they want to be at the top of the country music world? When are liberals going to finally recognize their indebtedness to the uniformed services, those that allow them to skew world events and spin like frenzied rave deejays about issues in our beloved country? I'm waiting...but blue doesn't look good on one's face, unless there's red and white to accompany it. BAM! POW! BIFF! (Announcer: "And there goes another Al-Queda Bad Guy biting the dust! Whoa! Look at Dr. Germ and Baghdad Bob running for their lives from the Coalition Dudes!")
