GOOD TIMES IN ARGENTINA

"I don't know what Bush and Cheney are going to do with all that oil money they made on their wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," said my lawyer friend over some Irish whiskey the other night. "Go have some good times in Argentina, I suppose. Like Mengele, Eichmann, those guys.

"Argentina?" I responded. "I thought that was Brazil.

"Brazil, Argentina...whatever. What's the favorite Nazi hideaway these days? Jesus Christ. Tell me this: what was the price of oil when Bush/Cheney took office?

"In '01? I don't know. $30 a barrel? Something like that?

"Exactomundo! And what did it hit the other day? $88 bucks a barrel. Triple! In six years! Triple!! Jesus, those oil buddies of theirs must think George W. Bush is the second coming of Jesus H. Christ and Dick Cheney is God himself.

"And what must the Saudis be thinking?" I replied. "I mean, George and Dick are the two bestest friends they've ever got. But they're Muslims.

"So George must be Mohammed and Dick must be Allah?

"I suppose.

"Another pair of Nazi bastards. I bet Jesus, Mohammed, God and Allah are all holed up in Argentina just waitin' for George and Dick to join 'em. Say, you know what my fellow lawyers down at 'Dipshit, Dipshit, Dipshit & Dipshit' are calling Bush these days?

"Lemme guess: 'Dipshit'?

"Naw. They're calling him 'Four War George'.

"Four War George?

"Yup. He's already got wars goin' in Iraq and Afghanistan but he needs a little meat for that sandwich and that's Iran.

"OK," I said. "So that's three. So how do you get 'Four War George'?

"Cuba.

"Cuba? Is Bush going to commit war on Cuba? But...I don't get it. Cuba doesn't have much oil, does it?

"No, but it'll make a good retirement home for all the old oil Nazis to sit and count their war profits.

Plus the Cigars. Don't forget the Cuban Cigars.

Oh! And they won't have to waste any of their Oil Profits on Health Insurance!

{sigh}

I thought sure #4 would be Syria, but Cuba makes sense. Well, as much as anything those guys do....
