Alleged filmmaker and human landfill Michael Moore has taken to the airwaves to scold America for it's handling of the "execution" of Osama bin Laden, and what he views as an unseemly display of enthusiasm afterwards.
According to Moore, "A lot of people say what would Jesus do? I don't think Jesus would go down to Ground Zero like a lot of people did on Saturday night with champagne and pop corks and have a party." And Moore knows what he's talking about, because he's never seen in public without his WWJHFD bracelet ("What Would Jesus Have For Dessert?").
Moore strongly believes that rather than kinetically ventilating Osama bin Laden, we should have escorted him to a helicopter along with his dialysis machines, VCR, and maybe a wife or two to eventually stand trial in New York... and he also declares that New Yorkers are "wusses" for fearing such a move could provoke another devastating terrorist attack.
Which, apparently, is what he thinks Jesus would say to the thousands of people who lost friends and family on 9/11.

As Barack Obama (wearing helmet, shoulder pads, and protective cup) continues to tell everyone who'll listen that he's not the type to "spike the football," other stories are starting to creep timidly back into the news. Like the announcement that the unemployment rate (wait for it...) unexpectedly rose again last month to 9%.
It's something of a good news/bad news situation...because the economy actually added a fairly robust 244,000 jobs in the month, including several which did not involve flipping burgers at McDonald's.
But the unemployment rate went up anyway, because more people who had given up all hope for the past two years decided to return to the job market for one more try. Those people come from the actual ranks of the unemployed and underemployed, which is currently 15.9%... a far higher and vastly truer number than the one the Obama administration likes to use.
Unfortunately, the lingering threats of Obamacare, looming inflation, and refusal to get serious about the debt are still keeping many potential employers from hiring.
And although the president claims to have a plan to make job conditions better, he steadfastly refuses to show proof. Perhaps he's afraid that it would upset the Muslims.-
Longterm unemployment and daytime TV: a fate worse than debt.-
Originally published August 31, 2009
Attorney General Eric Holder has appointed a special prosecutor to track down and prosecute CIA operatives and employees who used "enhanced interrogation techniques" to extract life-saving information from terror suspects. These techniques included waterboarding, spoken threats, and forcing prisoners to listen repeatedly to Barney's "I Love You" song.
Holder's investigation is expected to demoralize the CIA, cripple America's intelligence-gathering abilities, and empower terrorists. Even worse, a certain dinosaur is going to "pout like it's a rainy-wainy day."
Update May 7, 2011
There's no mystery about why this cartoon was pulled from the vault (even if there's some mystery about why my artwork for Eric Holder looks more like Tony Orlando). The cruel "torture" of pouring water up terrorists' snoots is now known to have given us the critical information that we needed to track down and exterminate Osama bin Laden.
Which you would think everyone would agree is a good thing. But Eric Holder is still conducting investigations in hopes of bringing criminal charges against the CIA operatives who used legally-approved "enhanced interrogation techniques."
But surely Barack "Oh yeah, I shot bin Laden" Obama will now put the brakes on Holder's persecution of these heroes, right? Right...?
Apparently not. While doing a football-spiking "meet and greet" with 9/11 families in New York, Barack Obama was asked by Deborah Burlingame, the sister of the pilot whose jet was crashed into the Pentagon, if he would speak to Holder to at least express the opinion that the CIA agents should no longer be pursued like criminals. Obama's answer? "No, I won't"...at which point he turned from Ms. Burlingame and walked away.
The fact that Obama and Holder are still so clearly against the people who brought Osama bin Laden to justice does nothing to erase the growing rumors that the operation was essentially carried out against Barack Obama's will.
Or that even a certain purple dinosaur would consider this president to be an insufferable wimp.
