Bush Admits Invasion Plans Driven by Hydrogen
(2003-01-31) -- U.S. President George Bush admitted today that he's pressing forward with plans to invade Iraq in order to acquire that nation's potentially-vast supply of hydrogen. During this week's state of the union address, Mr. Bush announced $1.2 billion in federal funding for development of hydrogen-fueled cars.

Just glad to beat that John Lemon Fellow in responding first. Not as funny as the others though. Posted by: Josh Lime at January 31, 2003 03:07 PMThe president's hydrogen industry advisor, Dieter Hindenberg, supported the president's plan and stated, "We expect this will relieve pressure on our Strategic Hydrogen Integration Taskforce plans and will help lower the cost of hydrogen." Senator Tom Daschle, (D) South Dakota, quickly noted that this is simply another giveaway for the wealthiest blimp owners and it will do nothing to help working families. "Oh, the insanity! This won't even help a poor family in Alabama to buy chrome baloons to decorate grandpa's tombstone," Daschle complained. "It's just another giveaway to rich folks and corporate fat cats." Spokesman at the Goodyear and MetLife blimp hangers both declined to comment before they left for the Hawaiian Pro-Bowl. Posted by: N. Facol at January 31, 2003 04:03 PMCute, but natural gas aint produced by refining -- though methane is typically found in the same geological cavities that contain crude oil, the two are chemically dissimilar. Posted by: PetroPettifog at January 31, 2003 06:24 PMInstead of Iraq, Bush could simply tap the unlimited supplies of gas emanating from Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy and Paul Begala. And a big congrats on quick wit to Josh Lime. Sounds as if our combination is quite Sprite! John Lemon Dear Petro. It's satire, it doesn't have to be true (which was actually a line that Michael Moore used when questioned about the factual accuracy of his "Bowling for Columbine" movie). I bet, though, that somebody will read Scott Ott's amazing satirical website and actually attribute this to the president. Probably all those people that like to quote George "Bushisms." Not that I'm against citing silly statements and verbal miscues of the prez, but I don't take "Bushisms" to be an indication of intellectual failure. John Lemon Posted by: John Lemon at January 31, 2003 06:29 PMIn related news, the element Helium is protesting the popularity of Hydrogen. Danjo Helium, you have to remember that the stable guy rarely gets the girl. Its always that wacko dude who blows up over the slightest spark who ends up bedding the beauties. "High Maintenance" girls are not what you want anyway. Someone will notice your stability and the natural lift you provide. Hang in there, Helium, your perfect life partner will come along someday. In the mean time, just be yourself and don't try too hard. Posted by: Mike S at February 2, 2003 09:09 AMMike S's commentary rises above all other denser material once again! Well done Mike! All we are saying, is give He Lee, um.... John Lemon I've always been struck by Helium's inherent nobility. We don't need to go "warmongering"(!) for methane to break down into hydrogen and carbon. We can get all we need by collecting the stink Daschle & Co. are making and using it, preferably to promote tolerance and sensitivity toward brutal dictators. Ken Stein Hydrogen, eh?? Ah well....anything to obscure and deny the fact that Bush and his reactionary Rightwing co-conspirators are going after the OIL.....and are about to reap billions in profits from the reserves in Iraq as soon as they can drum up some support for a carpet bombing campaign to put the fear of (America's version of) God into the Iraqi people, allowing America's victorious "compassionate" Conservatives to install a dictator more to their liking. Posted by: freethinker at February 11, 2003 03:19 AMI heard on CNN that Michael Moore had wheeled in a Columbine victim into KMart and demanded the victim money back for the bullets that were lodged into his body? Some of these ignorant liberalists smoked a little much MAry Jane before they decided to join such riteous causes. He is also a former sex offender I found out....."shame on YOU, Mr. Moore!!! Shame on YOU!!!!" |
