APRIL FOOLS DAY: Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto senator John S. McCain, III, of the Federal enclave of Arizona, wearing a bullet-proof vest, and surrounded by body guards, ventures through a Baghdad market, proclaiming that the security crackdown by United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) in Iraq, is working.

       Postscript: The next day, al-Qaida (Arabic for “the Base”) terrorists raided the market and kill 21 Shi`ite (partisans of Ali) Moslems.  Also on April 2, only three members of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) were killed in Iraq.

       Yeah, and I’m Mickey Mouse.  But I shouldn’t be sarcastic; I’ve got a toll bridge to show him in Coronado and I can get him a really good deal for cash. –– JL
