Badtux the Snarky PenguinIn a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped. |
Tuesday, October 18, 2005Good news from IraqThe new Constitution passed with 120% of the vote! Graveyards all over Iraq turned out in record numbers, especially in the province of Ninevah, a majority-Sunni province which, nevertheless, voted 78% in favor of the new Constitution, thanks to a heavy turnout from the majority-Kurdish cemetaries in the city of Mosul.When pressed about the vote totals, Iraqi officials were defensive. "People should not be deprived of their voting rights just because they are dead!" shouted Iraqi elections commission president Adel Al Lami, prior to jumping over his desk and attacking this reporter with a scimiter. Sunni officials interviewed after this reporter managed to escape to the relative safety of an insurgent kidnap vehicle were less sanguine, muttering "this reminds me of how Saddam conducted elections. Meanwhile, U.S. Army officers merely shrugged. "It wouldn't surprise me if the election was rigged," said a U.S. Army officer in Mosul who requested anonymity and who worked on security arrangements for the poll with Iraqi security and election officials. "I don't even trust our election process." Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel, contacted by this reporter, blames the fiasco on Iraq not using ES&S voting machines. "If they'd just used my company's machines, they wouldn't have these silly numbers," he chuckled. "Every time my machines re-elect me, do you see anybody question the results? No? So there!" President Bush, in a press conference today, congratulated the Iraqi government on its excellent job of waving the magic wand of "Elections" and throwing the magic pixie dust of "Democracy" over the fetid cesspool of hunger and violence that is Iraq. "Why, shore as shootin', purt soon now you won't be able ta tell tha dif'rence 'tween Iraq and Texas!" the President said jocularily. Upon hearing this, three ranking members of the Iraqi government committed suicide.
