A President who wants to build bridges

Oh scratch that, this president, old George W, wants to build fences. Lots of fences. His vision for America includes looking across our borders through fences and I doubt if they are the white picket fences that are a sign of a happy middle class. I'm thinking more along the lines of something in cold metal and galvanized. Being from Washington State I occasionally watch the local news just to see mostly how many days it has rained and how many people's homes who live on flood plains are once again being flooded. When the Real Estate agent said "water front" property they maybe should have listened a bit closer to what that actually meant. While watching floods and mudslides on the news there was an ad from this republican politician who is running for senator and this is a direct quote from his ad:

I’m Mike McGavick, and I’m running for the United States Senate because we need to bring back that kind of common sense, that kind of problem solving to our national government.
You know the issues that face us are big, there’s no question. We have a war on terror that’s as near as the Canadian border.

Well that shocked that me as it probably does you. Because since moving to Regina, I am sorry but I have yet to see one terrorist just walking down the street. Let's be real here, their idea of doing a drive by (in US language that means shooting someone up usually by their house or the corner they hang at) is to drive by someones house and say something under their breath about how they wish they would shovel their sidewalk, mow their lawn more often or why do they think it is ok to park in front of my house why aren't they parking in front of their house? So the realization that terrorists are lurking out there in the prairie has given the willies.

Yeah those Canadian terrorists hate them. Let's see how many were there on those planes on 9-11? Um... Well we had a bunch of Saudis that had entered the States legally, went to school, learned to fly commercial jets. Hold on maybe I am missing something, but honestly no matter how figure it, not one Canadian was a terrorist on those planes. But really it is important to plan ahead and obviously if I was running for office the first country I would be frightened of is those overly aggressive pot smoking, giving homosexual rights, liberal freaking Canadians. So yeah I think building a fence is a damned good idea, though I really, really feel sorry for whoever has the job of building the fence over the Rockies or through Lake Superior, now that would suck.

To help put this in a historical context let's all go back in time and look the countries that were successful with building fences, or walls. China was one of the first to come up with protecting their country with a wall. Not being so up on that history I would think that you could have one group of invaders down the way a bit waving their arms and going pssssst over here, while the other group a mile away jumped up over the wall and promptly got lost cause let's face it China is Big. Did it work? Well if you think about it increasing the tourist industry hell yes it worked. Did it work letting the other countries know what the border between the two countries were, well damn hard to miss a freaking wall, so yes I would agree. Did it stop invaders? It they weren't looking where they were going and ran full tilt into it. Well yes I am sure it worked. This wall was created to keep others out where as this other wall was to keep people in:

The Berlin Wall, by some said that when created it when we could say the cold war started. It stood for 27 years and did a pretty good job of not keeping people out as much as keeping people in.
Now I am not in a place to tell George Bush what to do, since I live in Regina SK and he probably couldn't say it (cause it would be against his religious beliefs) spell it or know where it is, but if I was I would say out of the two walls, this one here would be my best bet for the border between Canada and the United States. Let's face it everyone. If you were a Canadian would you really want to move to a country where they are doing illegal wire tapping? Would you want to move there because they don't allow you to smoke pot? Um would you move there because you were gay and they are oh so friendly to homosexuals getting married? Would you go there to see Disneyland? OK that was a trick question, cause the only other place you could go is France and I hear that Mickey with French accent reminds a lot of people of Peppy Le Pew who was a sexually harassing, predatory, stalking skunk and that bastard gave me nightmares growing up. I mean dude, leave the freaking cat alone OK? She doesn't like you, doesn't want to hang with you and you creep her out and dude, maybe she just isn't into skunks, ever thought of that ya freak?


So let's review, Great Wall of China, great for tourism, tried to keep people out.

Berlin Wall, not so great for tourism, but pretty damn good at keeping people in.

Peppy Le Pew - a perv

Therefore if people really didn't want to come to your country (like Canadians) but people from the US would love to come to Canada (the home of Art Linkletter and William Shatner) and if you liked Curling and Hockey and Shinny and stuff that involved cold weather and snow then maybe they are building these fences to keep you folks from the United States in? Cause let's face it once you leave the US you are really high on every-ones shit list except for those overly aggressive, liberal Danes who lucky for US knocked them off number one on the Muslim Top 40 we hate the holy shit out of you guys list.

So you all have a nice day unless you are a Danish Cartoonist and then I would suggest to stay indoors.
