BREAKING: United States will apologize for burying Osama bin Laden at sea

A U.S. delegation consisting of President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, and Admiral Gary Roughead will make an emergency visit to Cape Sounion in Greece to apologize for burying Osama bin Laden's body at sea.

It was revealed that the State Department received a very strongly worded complaint along with thinly veiled threats of retaliation against the United States Navy. Although it is generally not the policy of the United States to respond to any threat, the Administration felt it prudent to resolve this dispute amicably.

The crisis began when Poseidon rose from the Potomac River to menace the Secretary of State. "I remind you," the angry sea god had thundered at Ms. Clinton, "that your Navy relies on MY goodwill to remain afloat. I am furthermore the Earthshaker, and I doubt I need to remind you what a dozen earthquakes of 10 on the Richter scale and the associated tsunamis could do to your entire Navy."

"We can explain, Sir," Hillary stammered. ...

“Nah. It takes the fun out of these threads.”

I don’t consider it fun to be tricked into wasting my time on fiction, when I’m trying to stay caught up on the news.

When I have time for humor, I’d prefer that it be clearly labeled as such.

Well, we did dump garbage at sea...

This has GOT to be satire!! Please....

[La Enchiladita]

Oh good, it is.

Given all that has happened with OBL and BO’s 72 versions, this satire was in very poor taste. I agree with other posters. All satires should be identified as such in the title.

[tongue-tied]

Are you kidding me?! If any of you whankers had read even the excerpt you would understand it was a joke/satire.

Wow. Too busy to read even past the title? hehehehe

For further reading, I'd suggest "Thor promises to hammer SEAL team 6 for their lack of asking for permission" on Examiner, or other supermarket titles. Sheesh people.

No offense, seriously, but it doesn’t take that long to figure it out. And what I like about it is that it forces me to really READ an article before I post on it. You may find, after you’ve been tricked, that it is more difficult to trick you in the future. That’s what happened to me.

Bloggers/personal section, “humor” category?

I never assumed it was satire. Libs have been praying to such oddball gods recently it is not surprising a few would be offended. I knew this religious tolerance thing would not end well.

Satire..
But they should apologize to the families of 9/11 victims and all Americans for not sticking a pork sausage up his rear and hanging him from the nearest light post.

If I knew how to make a video I would do just that. Maybe sticking a pork sausage up his rear and show him being launched off the deck of the Vinson with some sailors on the bow using shotguns to see if they can wing him while he flies into the ocean. Then switch to a big sign on the stern reading Shark Bait as the props on the Vinson chop him up into bite size pieces.

[patriot08]

That would make a good video. LOL
