Battleboro, Vermont: Flying, Fickle Finger of Fate WINNER
Battleboro, Vermont is this week's unaimous (judges had no problem) award of the weekly Flying, Fickle Finger of Fate. That is this blog's reincarnation of the od Rowan and Martin "Laugh In" award ("the Finger" being the representation of the award--a statuette of an INDEX finger)--standing for special stupidity coming to light in each week the award is made. Ordinary stupity and kookiness is not enough for this award. You have to go above and beyond. As reflected in the previous entry, the citizens of Battleboro, Vermont more than dESERVE this recognition--referring to the citizens involved in an attempt to ARREST President Bush and Vice President Cheney for "crimes against the Constitution". While ALL citizens of Battleboro are obviously not worthy ov this award, enough are to make this award to the TOWN appropriate (you people to whom the award rally belongs KNOW WHO YOU ARE). In fact, this award is really to leftists everywhere, including Democrats in Congress, who want to CRIMINALIZE politics. That is more than eccentricity. It is EVIL stuff, designed to divide us rather than unite us against our common enemies.
Since the award was unanimous, you might think there was no competion for the award this week. WRONG. In any other week, President Bush would have been a clear WINNER of the award (see the nomination entry earlier in the week, after the STate of the Union speech). President Bush was nominated for not one, but TWO worthy acts of stupidity. One was a proposed FARM SUBSIDY PROGRAM FOR FOREIGN FARMERS TO COMBAT WORLD HUNGER (I can't make this stuff up; I heard him say that he wanted money to buy crops of FOREIGN farmers). President Bush further promised that, if foreign countries would merely cooperate with his enlightened "leadership", we could REVERSE--not merely stop--the increasing emission of greenhouse gases. A statement that stupid would have won this award, hands down, during mose weeks.
In this particular week, however, Battleboro, Vermont blew away the competition. It was just no contest. So, for you people in Battleboro, Vermont (and leftists everywhere) who think the same as the people who signed this petition, this award is for YOU. You DESERVE it. Imagine here Dick Martin presenting the coveted "Finger" to these good people of Battleboro.
P.S. Yes, it is one of those delicious IRONIES that the good citizens of Battleboro saved President Bush from a fate worse than death: being one of the weekly recimpients of the "Flying, Fickle Finger of Fate. President Bush surely thanks them.
