1. I'm gonna try a version of this with cops.

I'll get a bunch of impressive-looking but worthless medals stamped then, next time I'm stopped by the cops for driving like a moron or being off my head on drugs, I'll say to the arresting officer, "You can bust me, but wouldn't you much rather have this heirloom-quality 'Cop of the Month' medal?" I'm sure I'll be roaring off in a puff of tire smoke while my erstwhile arrester stands proudly admiring his new trinket. Sure, that's bound to work.

2. Or now that I have no legs and one arm missing, or now that I've

been burned into something that resembles a toasted marshmellow, sure I'll get over it if you give me one of those shiney hunks of pewter to hang of my shirt with a limp sleeve. Give me a fucking break.

3. Don't you know those medals have magic powers?

Just wearing one mends wounded limbs, straightens twisted minds, repairs destroyed lives good as new. You may have half a face and be able to pick up public radio on the plate in your head, but that medal will make everything alright.

4. Man oh man. Pitiful they way those who sold their souls to make that

money for the devil are being treated.

6. You can get a movie at iraqforsale.org re

war profiteering. SNAFU was mentioned, situation normal all fucked up.

7. David Laser current head of Halliburton had made over

100 million since the war started for distributing tainted water to marines.
