Reply #13: Osama was so cute, but wasn't it a little tasteless for the white gown?

I really have to dissagree with Sheila here, I am sure many people here on DU know of Saddam going to bed with BFEE many times prior to Osama commng into the picture.

As in the tabloids, real news is weird


October 1, 2003


I was piling the food from my grocery cart onto the cashier's conveyor when the headline caught my eye. One of the tabloids next to the checkout announced, "Now It Can Be Told: Saddam and Osama's Gay Wedding!" Beneath the headline was a "photograph" of Saddam Hussein in a suit, walking down the aisle with Osama bin Laden, tastefully attired in a long, white bridal gown.

I had to wonder: Who buys these papers or believes these nutty stories? But then I stopped to consider that the real news is hardly less weird.

In California, the circus that is the recall election is the logical result of years and years of political rhetoric suggesting that government is undesirable, if not unnecessary, and that experience in public office or knowledge of how government works should be viewed as a negative in a political campaign. The fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger had to learn the meaning of the word "infrastructure" becomes evidence of his fitness for office.

In Washington, the Bush administration has demonstrated its devotion to "faith-based" programs by giving $475,280 of our tax dollars to the Moonies. According to a recent article in Salon, Free Teens USA is an after-school celibacy program run by the Unification Church.

btw I get all my news at the grocery checkout line, it makes so much more sense then putting a quarter in a locked up box on a street corner. After all why pay for lies when you can read REAL WORlD NEWS for free at the checkout stand?
