Neocon Riots Rock DC
We can dream, can't we?

Neocon Riots Rock DC
by Eric Kenning

Large areas of the nation's capital were in ruins as violent protests continued for the third day against a bill that would revive the military draft, but only for neoconservatives.

The bill, officially called the Bellicose Resources Deployment Act but informally known as the Roast Chickenhawk Initiative, would supplement the nation's dwindling supplies of mindless belligerence by drawing on inexhaustible deposits found in seething think tanks, frothing newspaper columns, fulminating talk-radio programs, frenzied Sunday morning television and publications owned by Australians. It would then be shipped to the Middle East, where it is urgently needed.

The bill, explicitly requiring people who have never been in combat to serve in the wars they start, would affect thousands of neoconservatives in Washington and New York. It was strongly opposed by the Bush Administration on the grounds that it would leave most of the Administration's upper-level positions vacant, including the presidency and vice-presidency, but it was left unattended on President Bush's desk and he inadvertently signed it after deciding it looked too long and too hard to read first.

2. Neocons are too fearful and obediant to riot...
Libs are the only ones with the guts to go up againsts the government, even in the face of certain defeat. We always have been, going back to the revolutionary war. The rich business types were the ones who wanted to keep the alliance with the crown. Us working class folks were the ones to rise up.

4. Is that a riot or a protest? I don't see any fire or broken glass...
It just looks like a bunch of people chanting...
