Bush to probe Saddam underwear
Published May 23, 2005
When I saw this headline, I thought I was reading the Onion. Then the deeper societal implications hit me.
Listen, now that Washington has "promised an investigation into how pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underpants were splashed across the front-page of Britain's biggest-selling daily newspaper," I am personally prepared to pay the following money, hard cash, for these pictures:
Dick Cheney in his underwear: $1 million.
Tom DeLay in his underwear, with a good view of his package: $2 million.
Tony Blair's balls: $3 million (for a single ball, with a partial view of the other, $2 million).
Saddam holding hands with Donald Rumsfeld, both in their underwear: $100 million.
And if anyone can photoshop any of these, why not put them up on our blogs for universal disssemination? Saddam has shown the way. Let's have pictures of ALL our political leaders in their underwear.
For too long have they been hiding behind boring suits.
It's time to out the lot of them. We need to see what we're voting for.

Watch their video on YouTube.com by typing "Dingbots" into the YouTube search box or clicking here. If you are a natural rebel, a wild libertine, a transgressive intellectual – or if you have two heads – you might want the Dingbots to land inside your cerebellum. It's never too late to get fucked up on sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.

Headlines sometimes can be a source of amusement. One of my favorites was from a story a few months back: "Soldiers Head Home After Lengthy Absence." Hmmm, did his body arrive home first?
