The enemy is all around. Americans observing any of the following are hereby commanded to contact the FBI immediately: - Brown-skinned persons conversing in heated jibberish - Turban-wearing persons demonstrating emotions other than all-American bliss and contentment - Sidewalk falafel vendors of ambiguous ethnicity who are unwilling to make change for a fifty - Arabic store owners or cab drivers who have not begun prominently displaying at least 3 American flags - Middle Eastern persons who become visibly uncomfortable and/or upset when confronted with your suspicious and hostile stares - Burka-clad transvestites - Any and all individuals not gushing boundless praise for the current administration Courtesy of: JosePertierra@aol.com [An appropriate report for a day on which Resident Smirk has been attempting to un-do his Bad Week by ratcheting up the paranoia index with claims of "uncorroborated reports" from one alleged al Qaeda captive who that there were threats to "NYC landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge." As if al Qaeda would tell... We're also going to be shown tomorow that The Resident is Protecting Amerikkka with a Drill to see how well the city can cope with biological warfare. (Formerly a Top-Secret drill known only to a few thousand volunteers, but which is now being ballyhooed on the Evening Nooz as part of "Operation Tripod." And so it goes.] ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us 339 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10012 http://www.blythe.org e-mail: nyt@blythe.org ================================================================= nytrc-05.22.02-00:43:32-14940
