Bush Vs. the Aliens!

Arthur Weinreb has his tongue-in-cheek for this article, or does he?

A flying saucer appears from the planet Ziptroks (82.3% of all planets in these movies have names beginning with a "Z") and fires a laser at the Earth, completely obliterating Rocky Mount North Carolina. President Bush says "we’re at war" and orders missiles fired at the alien invaders. Let’s face it, if Bush doesn’t go after the aliens, who will? A meeting of the United Nations Security Council is hastily convened where Kofi Annan, after presiding over regular business (passing a resolution blaming Israel for the New York Yankees failing to make the playoffs) warns of the impending humanitarian and alien disasters. Annan further says that the killin’ and shootin’ has to stop.
As anti-war activists all over the world take to the streets, waiving alien flags and demanding that the Ziptroksians be given U.S. citizenship, Congress meets and the Democrats chastise Bush for entering into war with Ziptroks without having an exit strategy. Both the Democrats and the America-haters around the world demand to know why Condi Rice has not yet left for Ziptroks. And John Kerry issues a statement saying that if he were president, this wouldn’t be happening. Meanwhile back at the ranch (George Bush’s ranch of course) his new neighbour, Simple Cindy announces that she would prefer to live on Ziptroks than in the United States and implores her supporters to tell her where it is.


I think the aliens would be too intelligent to accept Simple Cindy.
