Zathras
for President?? 2004/09/28 by Randy
Alexander If George Bush were Zathras: "Zathras know many things,
even father does not know. Zathras know all about weapons of mass
destruction. Zathras warn of great darkness, but no one listen to poor
Zathras. Zathras tell "All is three. Axis of evil
is three. Saddam is the One who was. Kim Jong-Il is the One who is. Ayatollah
Khamenei is the One who will be. -------------------------- If John Kerry were Zathras: "There are 10 of us, all of
family Zathras. Many people <ho, ho>, many people confuse Zathras
brothers, but all Zathrases very, very different. Never agree on anything.
Zathras' brother Zathres fight in "Zathras have other brother,
Zathris. Zathris hate Vietnam War. Talk to Congress. Say terrible things
about war. Zathris steal Zathres' prizes and throw them away, but Zathres get
them back. "Zathras have other brother,
Zathros. Zathros think Bush is great man, very smart. Zathros vote to let
Bush do anything he want in "When Zathras elected
President, Zathras bring whole family to White House. Zathras let each
brother be President on different day. Make all Zathras brothers very
happy." I met
a soldier last week 2004/07/31 on July 20th, at the It was quite unexpected. As we exited
the secure section, we saw several TV news cameras and reporters from the
local channels, aiming their cameras in our direction. There was a small
group of people- maybe 20 or so- standing around, and I asked one what was
going on. He said "a soldier's coming home from Since we would have a few minutes
before we could get our luggage, I hung around to watch his arrival. I
thought that was pretty nice that the news was there to show his arrival,
although I did think it a bit unusual. After all, there have now been many
rotations, and a single soldier coming home, while fantastic for the family,
didn't strike me as particularly newsworthy. Soon he appeared and was greeted
by his mother at the edge of the security point. He approached the rest of
the group and began to talk to the reporters. I was standing right behind the
cameras, about 5 feet from him and although it was noisy, and he spoke
softly, I could hear most of what he said. I soon found out why the news was
there. After the reporters asked him to
spell his name, and a few casual welcoming remarks, they asked him about his
comments in the Michael Moore movie. The conversation between the reporter
and the soldier was something like this: The soldier didn't know he was being
filmed for a movie, but apparently he ended up being in about a 15 second
segment. He said that he didn't know it was It's often hard to tell if some of
the things you read or hear on TV or the movies or the internet is truth,
fiction, or some shade of grey in between. I mean, it's all just someone
else's words or pictures- it's not like witnessing the events personally. So it
was kind of cool to be hearing this soldier in person talking about his
experiences. They asked him what he thought of
his part in the movie, and you could tell he was quite displeased. He said
repeatedly- and I mean at least 5 times during the remainder of the short
interview, that he "wanted nothing to do with Michael Moore, or this
movie, or anything bashing At the conclusion of the
interview, as he started walking towards the rest of his friends and
relatives, I stepped in quickly, held out my hand, and said "thank
you". He looked at me (with sort of a puzzled, 'who the heck are you?'
look) and shook my hand, and I turned and walked away. I've read many things that lead me
to believe that Michael Moore twists facts, omits information, connects
unrelated pieces of information, and otherwise misleads viewers in his
so-called documentaries, in order to push his own political agenda. Now I
know the truth firsthand from an eyewitness, a participant, or rather, a
'victim', of Later that night, I watched channel
7 to see if they showed it, and all they showed was a quick several-second
shot of him after the interview, walking up to his waiting friends and
relatives. Nothing of the interview. Nothing of him adamantly denouncing |
