h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*CALLING ALL BUDDING ANARCHISTS!* Here is a chance to prove your anarchy to THE WORLD AT LARGE!!!! (Or to just have a b**** about western polotics and capitalism and nuclear missiles and stuff).

Cooee! Australia agrees with you! The m****r f****r once said that non-christians didn't have the right to vote in a supposedly "christian" country! Well I'm a pagan and I have a book of spells that invoke "christian" deities currently out from the library so I say even the christians aren't christians. Therefore we outnumber them infinity to one!!! Pow! Blam! Etcetera!

If Bush gets shot, ther'll just be another politician, much like Bush and the rest of them, taking his place, and then everyone will want to shoot that person wouldn't they.

It's a bugger, yes, but we are stuck with this administration for the next four years...

Much as I hate the concept of gun violence, I fear many lives would be saved if Bush were to... disappear to the sidelines, shall we say... impeachment would be nice, only he strikes me as slightly lacking in the intelligence to actually do anything that would warrant his being impeached.

Could you follow that?...

Many lives would probably be saved if everyone in the world just got shot in the head - there wouldn't be any future people to kill.

Sadly, I think we will be stuck with these politics for a great deal longer than 4 years.

I think the idea of shooting Bush in the head is fundamentally sound, especially as the bullet will be around three feet clear of his brain so should cause no lasting damage.

I can see it now - can I have a prime spot on the grassy knoll? I understand that there won't be much room with the thousands trying to fit on, but I *need* to be there, MP5K in hand.

I don't think shooting him is the answer...

...rather, having him die from arsenic and carbon monoxide poisoning would be much more appropriate, no?

How does a man who was a failure at everything he tried before he was 40 get to be elected president? I voted for Nader.

I think it has something to do with friends in high places - like your election agent being in charge of the election in one state. But let's not go there....

Hmmm - lost an election and became leader anyway, reneges on approximately one international treaty per week, obsessed with building up the military - got all the hallmarks of the leader of a rogue state. He'll be caling himself Colonel Dubya next.

Could anybody direct me to the book depository?

Hey sniper, how can you call yourself a sniper specialist if you're against shooting him?

I say they should have one of those sensationalised executions like they did to Veigh(-or however you spell it).

Last week's series in Doonesbury on Dubya's reneging on international treaties was exceptional. You can see it at the Doonesbury website.

Of course it would be wrong for me to tell you the URL for the website, and luckily for the purity of the minds of our fellow-travellers it is impossible to infer that the website for Doonesbury would be at a domain where the name of the cartoon is preceeded by three "George's" and follwed by the identifier for the commercial domain. I mean, it would be inconceivable that anyone could guess this, so it's a shame I can't post the URL.

[commonsense removed by moderators]

Because shooting presidents has been done already.

Wampus

Yep good point..

Maybe he should be killed by........by.......by an aeroplane crashing into his head!

Or attacked by a shrubbery...?

Has anyone seen that Red Dwarf episode with teh JFK shooting? It's brilliant!

I think the arsenic and carbon monoxide poising idea is better than shooting him... Shooting him would cause a big huge drama in the middle of a public place where an inocent person could get hurt too... and there is a bit of a ironic justice to the arsenic, and carbon monoxide... But what we want to consider before putting all this together, do we want Dick Chaney taking over for W? I think we need to have plans to take out everyone in the chain of command all the way down the line 'til we stumble across someone with a lick of sense, at the same time...

While I'm here, I'm going to share a great joke I got in an email with everyone. (If for some reason the vogons take it out, leave a message at my personal space, and I can forward it as an email...)

Subject: Southern Musings

While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 90-year-old Texan (he got his hand caught in a gate while working his cattle), a doctor and the old man were talking about "W" being in the White House. The old man said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a post turtle."

Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post turtle is. The old man said, "When you're driving down a country road, and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle. You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor, dumb thing get down."
