Sometimes you gotta laugh

Alannis, take note if you ever want to rewrite 'Ironic'

Looks like Rumsfeld should take this standup comedian routine on the road. How's this for an opening joke?

"Rumsfeld rebuked China at a regional security conference in Singapore, saying it was pouring huge resources into its military and buying large amounts of sophisticated weapons despite facing no threat from any other country."

You couldn't possibly make that shit up if you tried.

Rummy, bear in mind that the US spends more on its military than the next 20 highest spending countries COMBINED. Soon, you'll be spending more than the rest of the WORLD combined. Now read this: (written years ago by Robert Anton Smith).

What would you think of a man who not only kept an arsenal in his home, but was collecting at enormous financial sacrifice a second arsenal to protect the first one? What would you say if this man so frightened his neighbours that they in turn were collecting weapons to protect themselves from him?

What if this man spent ten times as much money on his expensive weapons as he did on the education of his children? What if one of his children criticized his hobby and he called that child a traitor and a bum and disowned him? And he took another child who obeyed him faithfully and armed that child and sent it out into the world to attack neighbors?

What would you say about a man who introduces poisons into the water he drinks and the air he breathes? What if this man not only is feuding with the people on his block but involves himself in the quarrels of others in distant parts of the city and even in the suburbs?

Such a man would clearly be a paranoid schizophrenic with homicidal tendencies."

No prizes for guessing who we're talking about. And it ain't China, you dumbfuck.
