That goofy Mohamed Elbaradei

Just to change the subject, and since I have this site open on my computer:

Mohamed Elbaradei is the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which, among other things, monitors and regulates the development of nuclear weapons. In a recent interview in The New York Times Magazine, when asked whom he would rather have coffee with, George Bush or Saddam Hussein, he replied: "I really don't drink coffee."

He also said, "I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons." But that's not as funny.

Ya see. What people forget that it is in our Constitution that we have the right to bare arms. Now That includes nukes. So we have declared ourselves worthy of having nukes, but we made no allowances for other countries to have nukes. Therefore we must stop them. Also you may want to note that nukes are considered arms, so every American has the right to own a nuke. For hunting, of course.

Interesting interpretation of the Constitution, Josh. I didn’t know you studied political science!

Two things: 1) If you use a nuke to hunt, say, deer, how do you collect the meat? 2) Assuming you are able to find said meat, at least you know it will be free of bacteria.

You’re assuming that they are hunting for food - not sport.

So, if you nuke a deer - do you count all the collateral damage as kills too? Can you say “I killed that deer I was aiming for - and 300 squirrels to boot”?

The trick with hunting with nukes is doing it on that single day when all the different hunting seasons overlap. That way you avoid the costly fines for hunting out of season.

But let me tell you when you are sitting in your camoflaged, shielded bunker 800 miles away, staring at a 12 point buck on the camera monitor in front of you. You forget all about the thousands of out of season animals, you just gotta take the shot.

You’re right Josh. Popping a buck is a glorious thing. It’s what America is all about. Our founding fathers loved to kill wildlife. To be a hunter is to be a patriot.
