Not quite as good as the Facebook/Osama joke from yesterday, and perhaps not as good as the Dick Cheney/Osama jokes from earlier in the week, but still very much worth sharing.
By the way, I better stay out of Germany. I noted the other day that German politicians were attacking Chancellor Merkel because she made a politically incorrect statement approving of bin Laden’s death. That’s apparently not just a faux pas in German society, but also a legal mistake. A German judge has filed a criminal complaint against Ms. Merkel for “endorsing a crime.”
That Judge must be a class-A DB. What a spectacularly pathetic example of moral preening.
The jokes are indeed an entertaining distraction – if one forgets that they are, perhaps, just a pitiful consolation. Consolation against the fact that the enduring and irreversible path of decline that Americans took in the last decade, has a lot to do with the actions of this one evil man. So the main joke is against American prosperity and the deep detrimental effect that this one deranged man has had on the prospects of Americans preserving their incomparable prosperity.
When the history of the early 21st century is finally written, the one man “fish food” will come out as a major factor in the overall decline of American prosperity. By propelling the ideas of collectivism to majoritarian status, drawing Americans in two wars, and causing the most collectivist of presidents to be elected in 2008, this one man has induced more self-destruction to American prosperity than any organized army.
Even his very death is being predictably exploited as an opportunity to promote the philosophy of grandeur through centralized collective action. In that sense, he continues to damage American prosperity even through his very death. If there is indeed an afterlife that rewards those who damage America, then tonight he will sure be sleeping with the 6th of 72 virgins (or perhaps 7th if his heaven is on Pakistani time).
