For years I've been struggling to write a story based on the concept that earth is a giant TV show created for the amusement of aliens. "South Park" did it tonight. In a 23-minute cartoon called "Cancelled."

Porky Pig vs. the Anarchist

For the record ...

For the record ...

Hearing George W. Bush & Co. say, "We're going to fix the problems in the Middle East" is equivalent to hearing the Three Stooges say, "We're going to fix your house."

To war, to war, to war we're gonna go

Jesusfuckingchrist, we're invading Iraq. What a jolly note.

I have absolutely nothing clever to say, so I'll just quote from the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup ...

Then it's war!
Then it's war!
Gather the forces!
Harness the horses!
Then it's war!

Fredonia's going to war!
Each native son will grab a gun
And run away to war!
At last we're going to
Feet will beat along the street to war!
We're going to war!
At last the country's going to war!
It seems the country's going to war!
At last the country's going to war!
We're going to war!
This is a fact we can't ignore
We're going to war!
This is a fact we can't ignore
We're going to war!

In case you haven't heard before
I think they think we're going to war
I think they think we're going to war
We're going to war!
I think they think we're going to war
We're going to war!
We're going to war!
We're going to war!
We're going to war!

To war, to war, to war we're gonna go!
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
To war, to war, to war we're gonna go!
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
Oh, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de, hi-de-ho
Oh-ho, oh-ho oh-ho oh-ho oh-ho
Oh-ho, oh-ho oh-ho oh-ho oh-ho
Hooooooooooo

They got guns
We got guns
All God's chillun got guns
We gonna walk all o'er the batterfield
'Cause all God's chillun got guns

Oh, Freedonia
Oh dnya cry for me
Cos I'm comin' round the mountain
With a banjo on my knee

Oh, Freedonia
Oh dnya cry for me
Cos I'm comin' round the mountain
With a banjo on my...

To war, to war, to war we're gonna go!
To war, to war...

To war, to war, we soon will say goodbye
Oh, how we'd cry for Firefly
If Firefly should die
A mighty man is he
A man of brawn who'll carry on
Till dawn of victory
With him to lead the way
Our spirits will not lag
Until the judgment day
We'll rally round the flag
The flag, the flag, flag
