2. Interesting chart...
Thanks.

I would argue that terrorism has the potential to quickly rise up that list if Shrub goes to sleep at the wheel again.

4. Hernias were jihad caused
Just another reason why we must go after Rush's, w's, Coulter's, Savage islamofascists. They KNOW the Islamofascists are to blame for the hernias. W and the bushbots told them so. Those evil Islamradicals are now stooping "low" enough to give us hernias.

Their right wing fundies totally agree.

What if one of those hernias pops up during the night?

10. What are you trying to do?
Bring reality into the terror statistics? Are you overlooking W's terra, terra, terra, invections constantly?

You mean we have more dangerouse issues to face than terr...terra..terra..ism?

12. But can you imagine how much his drug buds would thank
Edited on Sun Sep-17-06 11:59 PM by Erika
him for refocusing the true danger. It's not terra, terra, terra, it's hernia, hernia, hernia.

He's already paid off his defense buds, now it's a bigger payoff for his drugbuds for winning the war of hernias. The tre World War IV war.

13. IIRC, you're about as likely to die because of an asteroid strike
as you are to die in an act of terrorism.

But I'm not seeing a War on Asteroids...
