One more-
This is an Onion parody of Christopher "Snitchens" Hitchens. If you have no idea who the fuck this guy is, it probably won't be that funny to you.
The only thing I object to in the article are the references to Snitch as a "leftist" and "member of the Far Left." The guy is neither, and has said he would vote for Bush if he could in the next election (he's British, they can't vote...yet). I am a Leftist. This asshole does not play for my squad.
And then this is just sad but altogether too true:
Tortured Ugandan Political Prisoner
Wishes Uganda Had Oil
KAMPALA, UGANDA—A day after having his hands amputated by soldiers backing President Yoweri Museveni's brutal regime, Ugandan political prisoner Otobo Ankole expressed regret Monday over Uganda's lack of oil reserves. "I dream of the U.S. one day fighting for the liberation of the oppressed Ugandan people," said Ankole as he nursed his bloody stumps. "But, alas, our number-one natural resource is sugar cane." Ankole, whose wife, parents, and five children were among the 4,000 slaughtered in Uganda's ethnic killings of 2002, then bowed his head and said a prayer for petroleum.
