The war according to Sean Penn

Here's the eloquence of actor guy Sean Penn at a small anti-war rally the other day in Oakland (remarks addressed to president Bush):

"You and your smarmy pundits -- and the smarmy pundits you have in your pocket -- can take your war and shove it."

Wow. "Take your war and shove it." I guess he got ya there, Mr. President. Yup, he's left you in quite a bit of a pickle. I'd like to see how you're gonna get out of this one. I guess you have no choice now but to take your war and...shove it. Sean Penn says so. And it looks like it's finally time to empty those pockets of those "smarmy pundits". Let's see...what have we got in here. Yup! Just as I suspected -- Mort Kondrake. Uh...and what else? Mm hmm! Fred Barnes! Now beat it you smarmy pundits! And...stop being so...insincerely flattering and..smarmy and stuff.

"Let's make this crystal clear: We do support our troops, but not the exploitation of them and their families. The money that's spent on this war would be better spent on building levees in New Orleans and health care in Africa and care for our veterans." (...and stuff)

"Crystal clear"? Clear as mud. Let's see. He supports our troops but doesn't want to give them any supplies. He'd rather spend the money on what? Levees in New Orleans? Excuse me Mr. Spicoli? I mean, Mr. Penn? Billions were spent already and the levees are repaired. Health care in Africa? Why not dental plans in Bucharest while we're at it? Care for veterans? If you're so concerned about the military, why are you appearing at this rally with Rep. Barbara Lee who voted against Bush's bill for 124 billion in troop support?

Shaddup.

"Iraq is not our toilet. It's a country of human beings whose lives that were once oppressed by Saddam are now in 'Dante's Inferno.' "

I tink he twying to teach us what Iwaq is. He say it not a potty toiwet. He say it a countwy. Who knew? He say humans wiv dere and no longer oppwessed by "Saddam" (wow...he on first name basis!). Mista Penn! If we fwee da people dere and dey no longer oppwessed, I tink we know it not potty toiwet.

He say "Dante's Inferno". He smart!

from today's (3/27/07) New Orleans Times Picayune

But a major exception is in areas next to the Industrial Canal, where existing levee walls are below standard and high hurricane surge and wave conditions still pose a threat.

I always hated homework, Judy, and did a fair bit of procrastination in my day. However, I did do my homework this time. Thanks for stopping by Rumpus.

I thought Spicoli was going to save New Orleans singlehandedly in his leaky boat. Remember that pathetic incident?

HI, CIV!

Scotty has shown me several times how to do it, but I always forget.

What can I say? That's why we have a "techie."

Judy B, Wonderdog never got any homework. They didn't give any in detention. You are welcome to stop by anytime and try to set us straight. That's the wonder of the internet. . instant accountability. Too bad the LA Times doesn't possess that trait.

And Stewdog always did his homework cuz he had no diversions. His only friends were his pocket protector and a stuffed, bespectacled rabbit named "Mr. Bitterman".
