Pretty Blue Angels of Death [Anti-Military/Anti-USA BARF ALERT!]

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/16/02 | Mark Morford

[MikalM]

Let us now happily observe the Navy's shiny and world-renowned Blue Angels precision flying team roaring over S.F. Bay, shaking the office windows and triggering a million car alarms and inducing coronaries in the elderly and panicking the easily panickable into thinking Armageddon is at hand at last, take me Jesus I am ready, oh wait, damn, it's just Fleet Week.

The inhabitants of Bezerkeley see nothing good about America.

Blue Angles...

Sound a lot like FREEDOM to me.

[eno_]

At least he admits to the butt-clenching part.

[js1138]

I guess they aren't clinton's planes anymore.

[Cogadh na Sith]

But this time in tight aggressive hillside-annihilating bombing-run formation, dropping billions in deadly ordnance every day for weeks and months, devastating towns, killing foreign women and swarthy Islamic babies and, oh yes, those pesky ragtag al-Qaida fighters who scattered to the hills months ago. Let us imagine what that must feel like, to see those planes roar overhead, with an entirely different mission.

You had me at 'butt-clenching roar'.

[goldstategop]

I guess he's worried they'll blow the Bay Area to bits.

[Junior]

Gee, how long do you think SF would last without military protection.

[js1138]

They used to be stationed across the river from my house. I could step outside and see them practice several times a week. I miss them. *sigh*

[gov_bean_ counter]

Any reason why his sphincter can't handle this? Hmmmmm.

[Cogadh na Sith]

A soul-clenching, butt-curdling bumb to you.

[ohioman]

What a treat it would be if one of those Blue Angels "accidently" dropped the bomb on Mark Moronford's head.

[goldstategop]

The sight of The Blue Angels makes a grown man like Mark Morford piss down his pants in fright.

[tet68]

Let us now imagine, say, Afghanistan. Let us now imagine Iraq (soon, Georgie, soon). Squadron after
squadron of these very same gorgeous roaring $28 million jets but this time not lovely shiny polished blue
and not moving in entertaining smoke-trailing formations across the sky and making little boys squeal.

But this time in tight aggressive hillside-annihilating bombing-run formation, dropping billions in deadly
ordnance every day for weeks and months, devastating towns, killing foreign women and swarthy Islamic
babies and, oh yes, those pesky ragtag al-Qaida fighters who scattered to the hills months ago. Let us
imagine what that must feel like, to see those planes roar overhead, with an entirely different mission.

This IS what we have been waiting for!

[ArrogantBustard]

grown man like Mark Morford

I beg to differ. Li'l Markie MoFo may be many things, including a butt-clencher, but a grown man he isn't.

[VaBthang4]

I could've sworn the author was going to end up being a pasty-white ugly lesbian.

Oh well.

Pasty white ugly cakeboy will have to do.

[Alas Babylon!]

Exactly. Osama, if still alive, would want Morford as dead as anyone in the World Trade Center. His gay friends would be, at best, Muslim sex-slaves, and his lesbian friends would be Burka-clad and in the kitchen--or executed. Can he stop and think about what gives him the rights to hate our (and yes, his) military is the fact that this military exists in the first place? Nah, didn't think so.

[moyden]

Q: How do you separate the men from the boys in San Francisco?

A: With a crowbar.

[tet68]

Ya know it's too bad they didn't unload some firepower on
Alcatraz, that would have really sent a message.

[VaBthang4]

LOL
