Bush: Crisis Over, Iraqi Insurgency Now Perfectly Normal

WASHINGTON (DPI) - President Bush has declared the crisis in Iraq over, saying that the ongoing insurgency is now a perfectly normal condition. "It's time Americans stopped worrying about American soldiers dying in Iraq," Bush said during a press conference Tuesday. "It happens every day, so we should all be used to it by now." Bush then praised military planners who made the success possible. "We knew that if we boldly went forth with just enough troops to get us into a quagmire, we could maintain low-level conflict long enough for people to stop caring. Once American deaths got off the front pages, we knew we'd won."

Six Flags Over Georgia to Unveil New Crane Attraction

ATLANTA (DPI) - Six Flags Over Georgia, one of America's premiere amusement parks, has unveiled plans for a new attraction inspired by a murder suspect who climbed up a tall crane to evade arrest. According to design engineer Mark Chaple, the attraction will feature an 18-story-high crane that park patrons can climb. Once at the top, thrill-seekers will have two choices. "You can either bungee-jump off the top of the crane or a park employee can zap you with a stun gun, strap you to a stretcher and lower you down on your back head first at high speed — totally disorienting you until you're safely back on the ground," said Chaple. The attraction has yet to be named, but is referred to among park officials as the "Jailhouse Jump."

The New Abuse of the First Amendment

A guest Probeatorial
by U.S. House
Majority Leader
Tom DeLay

I am writing today to inform the good readers of The Daily Probe of a disturbing new practice of the liberal media. By now I am sure most of you have heard of the slander that befell my name on a recent episode of CSI or CSI: Miami or New York or something ... No, wait! It was Law and Order ... um ... SUV? SVU? CI! That's it, CI! Anyhoo, those smug Marxist bastards made a joke about me. This is a ridiculous new low, as political officials have never before been targeted for satire.

The joke involved my recent statements concerning the removal of the pro fag judges from the bench. Let me assure you there is absolutely nothing funny about that! This is a serious issue that should be addressed by serious people. Now, I am not made of stone — television should be allowed to make light of certain political things. Personal attacks on the current minority leader would be fine. Or anything involving Bill Clinton. But for the good of the nation, lay off me.

The First Amendment is all well and good, but it should have limits. It should not be interpreted broadly — it's not the Second Amendment, for Christ's sake. And I know a lot of these single mother-loving judges would say the joke falls under "parody" and they have the Hustler v. Falwell case as "precedent." Well, I say those hippy bastards should be dragged out in the street and shot like the dogs they are!

All right, I have to go — Without a Trace just referred to me as a "cock-gobbling neo-fascist."

Ask Zarxnol




The premier child psychologist on his home planet
Xargolia before being called to the service of his
Warrior-God Xargol as a conqueror of lesser worlds, Zarxnol
happilly adresses the child-raising concerns of our readers.


Dear Zarxnol,

Our 14-year-old daughter is in her first year of high school. Makeup usage is very common with the girls at her school, but she is wearing too much of it for our taste. Although otherwise well-adjusted, she refuses to go out in public without her eyeliner. When we tell her she looks much prettier without it, she gets defensive. Should we lighten up or insist that she stop trying to look like that Spears girl?

Grimaced in Grimsby


Grimaced:

Adolescence is undeniably a most awkward and confounding period in one's life, Ms. Aced, most significantly for the females of your puerile-minded, balsa-spined species. The teen-age girl is indeed the most prized and powerful of all human demographics — her reproductive capacity is at its peak, her physique takes on a form which appeals to most males, and her prodigious hormonal surges lay the groundwork for the frenetic caprice that your more effete singing-songwriting emasculates nauseatingly exalt — yet it is at this time she feels most helpless. She is wont to seek guidance, and that guidance will be sought naturally from her peers. Only the superior are worthy of guiding the superior.

Teen-age human females gather, apply and advise each other on this makeup as an affirmation of their rank among the ultimate social echelon. Through this face-decorating ritual, they reassure each other that indeed they are the group in power. Through its lines and colors, the makeup bellows the nonverbal commands of the Young Miss Aced to all lower humans who dare encroach her dewey sphere: Young males — kneel before the rouge and beg to touch its bearer! Know well that your plea will die unanswered, Boy — the makeup simply demands your fervid bantam pride as a sacrifice! Older females — taste the bitter loss of your youth! Such status was once your domain, but you squandered it on your high school quarterback with the hot Fiero, 10-year-old condoms and raging herpes! All lesser humans — bow before Young Miss Aced, Your Decorated Empress and Painted Sovereign!

Did you fear that your daughter applied this makeup in an attempt to attract a mate, Grim? Are you of the impression that these cosmetics are what males find sexy? Simpleton! Were that the case, teen-age boys would douse their knuckles in eyeshadow and their fingers in lipstick and boff their own palms from dusk till dawn! Dullard! Even at your advanced age, the fact that a young male human will plunge his pulsating prong into anything he can catch — cosmetics be damned — eludes you!

I trust your daughter knows these simple facts and will choose her eventual mate wisely — for when the Xargolian Armies From the Sea conquer your Grimsby, I will be seeking a superior breeding stock for my slave hordes!

Be gone, imbecile!

Regards,
Zarxnol
