Greg Hlatky has stumbled across H.R.2459, a bill proposed to create a cabinet level Department of Peace, which will, as Mr. Hlatky noted, have both foreign and domestic chores. This is not, as Mr. Hlatky also noted, an April Fool’s Joke.

Other than the fact that we already have three departments responsible for keaping the peace (domestically, the Justice Department, overseas, the State Department and chiefly the Defese Department), the proposal is just a bunch of hogwash from the usual suspects. Feel free to send in any job titles that you think might be relevant for the newly created Department of Peace. Here are mine:

Undersecretary for Armpit Hair on Women

Undersecretary for Patchouli Distribution

Grateful Dead and CSNY Archivist

Undersecretary for Jesse Jackson’s Overseas Travel.

House Initiative For Peaceful Protests and Individual Expression (HIPPIE for short).

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I have been doing work I should have done two years ago. I have a few things I want to put up, and then back to the grindstone.

If one more pundit says things are ‘spiralling out of control in the Middle East,’ I am going to get so angry blood is going to shoot out my nose and ears. If this is not already out of control, then I do not know what is. Maybe I am just a control freak.

For some reason, I just really enjoyed this sentence from Greg Hlatky at A Dog’s Life:

CLINTON SUCK-UP Jonathan Alter slobbers all over the former President, who’s trying to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral.

*** Update ***

I read the piece, and Hlatky is right. Alter does slober all over Clinton.

Zogby, that despicable puke, just told Tony Snow on Fox that Bush is responsible for this ‘by abdicating leadership’ in the Middle East. He needs to ‘strengthen’ Arafat.

Then, he claimed that when Arafat talks about martyrs, he is just speaking to the culture of the people. Ahh, I see. It is just multiculturalism.

Now he is spreading the myth that Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount is the reason for the intifada.
