    The Amazing Plan

    As the evil government forces carried out the attacks on 9/11 - buildings coming down, panic in the streets - right on schedule, George Bush spent 8 minutes in a classroom reading My Pet Goat and looking like a dumbass. Then, he brilliantly climbs into Air Force One, and flies randomly around the country while RUDY GIULIANI calms the nation...GENIUS!!

    Some lesser conspiracy would have had the leaders looking sharp and heroic when it was all going down, but this one was so cleverly designed that the evil guys in charge actually cast themselves in the role of incompetents, just to throw us off!
