Washingon insider, 90% "there's gonna be more wars" McBush wants us to jump on the 100 years War of the Crusaders bandwagon. Just mark your X in the box next to McCain/Palin in November and you're on board for an interesting ride. Of course, you won't be around to see the conclusion of the war, and old McCain certainly won't be around. I mean, let's face it: he's probably not going to live out his term, but not to worry: his let-the-Lord VP pick knows just what God wants for this country - the Christian God anyway. If there are any others, well, they just don't count.

Take heart, even though you may miss the war's conclusion, rest assured, your grandchildren will live with it, and you'll surely get to experience some of the highlights before you die: the trashing of our economy, the end of the era of American allies, the reinstatement of the draft on a grand scale, the mass murder of entire civilian populations of various cities, perhaps entire counties. It should be exciting, all those bright lights and loud bangs. Better than the Fourth of July.

You won't have time to regret that your children and grandchildren can't go to college; you'll be so busy finding enough to eat and a place to sleep. It will be moot anyway, since they may not survive their tours of duty, and if perchance they should, well, come on, how much education does it really take to sew flags for coffins or to work in assembly lines building bombs? The only jobs will be munitions or armed services-related. This endless war won't bring any bounce for the economy and depending on how much we manage to annoy China, it may not even bring any borrowed funds.

But I wonder what the world will look like after McSame's 100 years war? Will it be pockmarked with nuclear-bombed cities? Surely it will, some of them right here in the USA. Will there still be individual countries or will there be a world government? Will the world's official language be Russian? Maybe English or Arabic? Chinese? And who will own the oil resources? Will it matter? Who will eat and who will go hungry? Will the medical community rally to treat radiation sickness or just join together to study the genetic repercussions? Will anybody care about the environment? Endangered species? What will the underclass look like? Will the polar ice caps have disappeared entirely, along with many seaside cities around the world? Will there be any water to drink? Water to bathe in? Water to farm? Or will it all be contaminated by nuclear fallout? Oh, it should be interesting times, indeed.

If you like this scenario, better vote for McSame/Palid: with Obama/Biden, you're just going to get endless arguments about education, the economy, social justice, the Constitution, global warming - you know, all that dull stuff that goes into running a country at peace. If you're addicted to the uplifting effects of high danger levels and conflicts with foreign armies, cast your vote for the guaranteed war amplifier: John McSame, our very own Cheney on steroids. One thing for sure, it will hclp curtail our overpopulation problems.
