This is incredible! LOL! There are sociologists who dedicate their entire lives trying to understand the Middle East so it is a complicated place of unrest. It reminds me of that moment in Clueless, “I thought they declared peace in the Middle East.” Nope, never. So comedy is the only way most of us could process even a little bit of it. Well done!

+Laura Petruska Here we go again with the implication that the 2000-election was somehow stolen by Bush. On November 12, 2001, the New York Times ran a front page article that began: "A comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida ballots from last year's presidential election reveals that George W. Bush would have won even if the United States Supreme Court had allowed the statewide manual recount of the votes that the Florida Supreme Court had ordered to go forward." Another Times article that day by Richard L. Berke said that the "comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida ballots solidifies George W. Bush's legal claim on the White House because it concludes that he would have won under the ground rules prescribed by the Democrats." On November 18, 2001, notorious pro-abortion zealot Linda Greenhouse wrote in the Times that the media consortium's count of all the disputed Florida ballots - in which the Times participated - concluded "that George W. Bush would have won the 2000 presidential election even had the court not cut the final recount short."
