Is This in Your Will?
Posted by Bill Nathan at Brain Fertilizer is very specific in his will: If I fall in the Global War on Terror, I hereby give full permission for my image, my story, my career to be used to support the Bush Administration and the choices they have made to this point in the Global War on Terror. I hereby make a similar pledge, but I'll take it one step further; if I die in a terrorist attack in DC, I hereby give President Bush permission to air the following commercial: George Bush: "I'm George W. Bush, and I approved this message." (Cue ominous music) Narrator: (Wide shot of the demolished DC metro station) "Al Qaeda has struck our nation's capital in an attempt to influence the election. This man, Bill from INDC Journal ... (Pan over to my still twitching, ricin/sarin/anthrax-ridden corpse) ... wants you to know one thing. (Pan in to close shot of my face, where a rather obvious system of fishing wire and pulleys causes my eyes to open and my lips to move) Dead INDC Bill: (Poorly disguised, high-pitched voiceover by George W Bush) "John Kerry is a major-league asshole!" Narrator: (Cut to medium shot of my dead body superimposed over a flapping American flag) Are you prepared to vote against the wishes of a dead man? Vote George W. Bush for president. Hear that ma? Sign the release! UPDATE: What's that you say? Sick? In poor taste? Well, ok, just so long as you realize that I'm cool with whatever they want to do with me. Seriously.

Posted by: ccwbass at June 9, 2004 06:35 PM Yes that IS rather morbid. But I'll be traveling to Jordan in the next few months, and I've honestly thought that if something awful were to happen to me, I would sure hate it if it were spun against Bush and the War on Terror.... Posted by: Athena at June 9, 2004 08:10 PM funny. not morbid though. you gotta do what you gotta do, and this is what michael berg has driven us too. Posted by: mlah at June 10, 2004 12:49 AM Sweet. ...and it's not just Michael Berg, it's also the dichotomy of activism among the so-called "9/11 families" and some of the families of the fallen in Iraq. I'm not in Iraq, but I am in the Middle East for at least another month. I've got at least one fairly liberal sister, and my Mom has leanings that way, too (she voted for Ann Richards in Texas simply because she was a woman), so I figure I have cause to be a little more concerned about that sort of stuff.

Posted by: DANEgerus at June 10, 2004 01:54 AM lol Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at June 10, 2004 09:16 AM I'm in. Can we get those med alert bracelets, so the paramedics can yell "Quick, get this man's corpse to Carl Rove." Posted by: Defense Guy at June 10, 2004 02:16 PM I misinterpret everything that Bill says. I don't understand humor or sarcasm, and I am full of impotent rage. Look at my site! It's humorless, paranoid, rambling garbage! I'm sorry Bill ... I'm sorry for being such an asshole. Posted by: Mike at June 11, 2004 05:35 PM Apology accepted Mike, you can't be responsible for your limited mental faculties, or the way that you were raised. Posted by: Bill from INDC at June 11, 2004 06:20 PM Fascist! Fascist! You're oppressing me! Posted by: Mike at June 11, 2004 06:43 PM |
