WTF Is It Now?!?

BUSTED !!
It's been around on the internet, but now a newspaper is publishing The Chickenhawk Database.

The nation's oldest newspaper, the New Hampshire Gazette, has published what it calls "The Chickenhawk Database."

"A chickenhawk," the Gazette explains, "is a term often applied to public persons - generally male, who (1) tend to advocate, or are fervent supporters of those who advocate military solutions to political problems, and who have personally (2) declined to take advantage of a significant opportunity to serve in uniform during wartime."

The Gazette's chart lists name, employer, age, and conflict avoided, mostly Vietnam. Topping the list are George W. Bush, who was mostly AWOL in the Texas National Guard, and Dick "Chickensh!t" Cheney, who had "other priorities."

This isn't intended to reflect on men who didn't volunteer for Vietnam. Its significance is that those on the list who have never seen blood in battle or heard a shot fired in anger are in position to start a war.

The Gazette states, "The alleged 'gentlemen' on this database are here because they share three qualities: bellicosity (a warlike manner or temperament), public prominence and a curious lack of wartime service when others their age had no trouble finding the fight."

Whoa! Bwaaaahahahahaha!
