And now, with an editorial comment about the situation facing our country, here are Mighty Mack and Elwood Blues.

Mighty Mack: Thank you. Thank you. You know, whenever I need an insight into real politic, I turn to Elwood Blues. So, Elwood, you have some thoughts about the war?

Elwood Blues: It's affirmative. Although I am old enough to have served time in Vietnam, I did not. Mainly because at the time I was serving time for grand theft heavy construction equipment. However, I did experience the Cold War firsthand in primary school, as a fallout shelter monitor. Now, that particular fear was a component of the Communist geopolitcal objective.

Mighty Mack: And look what happened there - a prolitariat revolution that didn't even last 100 years, and ended in a bottomless turd-swirl which sucked a culturally and resource-rich people down into a gangster-run kleptocracy.

Elwood Blues: Correct. So now, we have the Islamic Fundamentalist objective. However flawed it was, at least the Soviets offered an alternative. And what is the alternative from this new wrath of freaks? Squatting in decimated mud hovels wearing fece-siled nightshirts and flip-flops, eating dirt and white lice burgers with nights spent beside grown men who roll around smooching each ball sacs, getting their compulsory beards all tangled up in each other's ass hairs!

Mighty Mack: Right! Do these criminal maniac lice-eaters really expect their interpretation of scripture to appeal to any rational Muslims anywhere? Where women can't go to or teach school, practice medicine, law or business, forcing them to stay indoors and impose illiteracy on a whole new generation of broads?

Elwood Blues: For this alone, the dwelling holes of these psycho alpha males deserve to be blowtorched like a squirming nest of May 10th catepillars!

Mighty Mack: And so, Elwood, your point is?

Elwood Blues: My point? Well, my point is nothing will stop our way of life.

And nothing will stop the U.S. Postal Service.
