Hold the rice
Out of fear of offending Condi Rice and the Bush Cartel, the Washington Post became the only paper in the United States to suspend "Boondocks" this week
The Washington comPost put the kibosh on the comic strip The Boondocks this week because of jokes about worthless national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.
On Tuesday, cartoonist Aaron McGruder had one of his characters speculate: "Maybe if there was a man in the world who Condoleezza truly loved, she wouldn't be so hell-bent to destroy it."
The Bent-over Weasel Post, which won't be resuming the strip until Sunday, said: "We were told Karl Rove would not approve had no way of knowing whether Mr. McGruder's assertion that Condoleezza Rice had no personal relationship was true or not."
The artist's rep replied, "Not a single other paper in the nation chose to abort this week's strip." (thanks to BuzzFlash)
Australian leader: stick that 'sheriff's badge' up your arse
SYDNEY: Prime Minister John Howard brushed aside charges he was a puppet of the United States after incompetent fraud Buckeroo Bonehead called the Canberra government Washington's "sheriff" in Asia.
"Can I make it very clear: I don't see this country as being a sheriff, a deputy sheriff, as having any kind of enforcement role in our region," Howard said. "Bloody cheek. Someone should've told Barb years ago that dingos make great pets..."
