They want to kill our corn!
Posted on July 27th, 2007 at 2:29 pm by Phillip McCracken
Terrorists, according to Governor and Presidential candidate Bill Richardson, look at the United States and, while looking for targets on which to inflict serious damage to our nation and way of life, think Iowa is a really good place to start. After all, why not? They do grow corn and, um, well…We’re sure there is something else Iowa does too. Cows, maybe?
While pandering, er, campaigning in Iowa recently told reporters that he would place Iowa in the top 10 as far as federal funds for homeland security go because they are a serious target.
It seems terrorists hate corn and flat land, though no study could be sited to verify that made-up assumption.
The reason it’s a made-up assumption is not because Iowa is a place most terrorists couldn’t point out on a map if you offered them 72 virgins; it’s because Iowa is the first primary state and Richardson is trying to buy votes. He’ll dish Iowa federal money (read: our tax dollars) if he’s elected President.
You might be thinking: How can you say that? Bill Richardson is a man of honor, blah, blah, yadda yadda.
Well, Billy kind of admits it. The emphasis is added, but the quote is accurate:
“It’s not just because of the primary, if that’s what you’re hinting at.”
Bill…Billy, why would we think that? As long as you have other reasons over and above the primary, we’re totally cool with it.
Who says Democrats aren’t playing politics with the war on terror? Oh yeah, it’s just them.

Phillip McCracken is in great need of an editor! Can you read some of those sentances and back to yourself and see where you need help? Did you write this in a hurry?
Reminds me a bit of the old folk tune: “Billy cracks corn and I don’t care, Billy cracks corn and I don’t care, Billy cracks corn and I don’t care……Especially for you.”
But of course there is a potential scenario to Mr. Richardson’s strategy:
Iowa is rapidly becoming the ethanol gas producing mecca of the world, turning it’s famous corn into fuel.
Terrorists come from countries rich in good
old- fashion oil–fossil fuel, Texas T.
American’s currently love oil.
Terrorists love having American’s dependent on middle eastern oil.
Terrorists also love that American Presidential Administrations will attack and kill for this beloved oil.
If places like Iowa really can produce enough ethanol to make a significant difference, American’s will need less old-school, fossil fuel oil.
If Americans need less oil, we will love it less.
If we need and love oil less we won’t be willing to get involved in middle eastern oil countries as much.
This will piss off terrorists as they need reasons to keep calling the U.S. “great satin” and such so they can justify their terror ways as a lifestyle.
So, Bill might be on to something here…even if he doesn’t know it.
Or maybe not.
Here’s another old saying…
“Whatta Maroon!”
Who cares about a few typos, I just can’t believe I finally saw a post by Jacosta that wasn’t about Romney!!! (ridiculously and blindly pro-Romney, that is)
I agree with Jacosta. His articles always seem so hyper.
Richardson is a walking gaffe machine, though. It’s just unbelievable. If there’s anyone in the field who will say anything to be President, it’s him. Also Romney, for the GOP.
Is it me, or does the guy shaking hands with Richardson in the picture look like an older, fatter Jon Favreau?
