Terrorism
Does anyone besides me think that the so-called "War on Terror" is too poorly defined to be effective? As the French Philosopher Hugo LaOolah put it, "I am afraid of bumble bees." So are we to go after bee hives next? I recall hearing, as a child, that the famous motorcycle racer Barry Sheen once had a bee inside his leather jumpsuit while he was travelling at 150 mph. Is it a coincidence that he was roaring along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border when this incident occured? And what, anyway, is the French word for "bumble"? It's quite possible that LaOolah was simply mistranslated. My point is, if we are to find Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar, Sirhan Sirhan, and the rest of this terrorist bunch we'll need to do a lot more than pander to the fears of effete French philosophers, even the ones who race motorcycles for a living.
What say you?

Commie.
Actually, it's bees that are communists. But only the honey variety. Moreover, honeybees are radical female separatist communists who rip their males' genitals right out of their bodies and leave them to die. Bumblebees live alone and are more like gun-stockpiling libertarians. So, clearly, it matters which kind Barry Sheen got inside his jumpsuit, because it clearly had a profound influence on your childhood, Chris, and right now I don't know whether to attack you with the spectre of Valerie Solanas or that of David Koresh.
Oh oh, somebody went to Smith.
We should send French philosophers into Waziristan, where they would bore the Taliban and Al Qaeda to death.
Actually, given this French guy's attitude towards bees, I'd say it's more likely that they're German.
They are very industrious, so yeah, I'd agree on the bees being German.
