          My Fellow Americans: We must crack down on the Rich Movie Stars, the Rich Athletes, the Rich Talk Show Hosts. Does Jay Leno really need 200 Gas Guzzling Vehicles? Does Mr. O Really need Bullet Proof Gas Guzzlers? These types of Rich People are Destroying our Ecological System. Does Al Gore Really Need A Mansion on the Hill Sucking up all that Energy and Producing all those Deadly Carbon Units?

          We Need More Restraints on the Output of Energy Useless devices. We must get rid of all Cell Phones, Ipods, Microwaves, Televisions, Hair Dryers, Clothes Dryers, Electric Stoves, Gas Cars, Electric Cars, Pinball Machines, Forest Fires, Electrical Storms, must I go On. We must free ourselves from Earth. We must go back to the Dark Ages.

          Where are all the Evolution people when we need them? I thought that the Earth Evolves and makes up for all the mistakes man makes and adapts. What is going wrong? Where are all our Authorities, Michael Moore, Al Gore, The Lovely Pelosi, Mr. O. when we need them? Are We Doomed?

          How do we Stop that Gigantic Meteor Headed For San Francisco?
          Where do we Get the Environmentally Correct Insecticide to Fight off all the out of Control Insects invading the Planet? The Dreadful Scorpions, Killer Bees, Fire Ants, Brown Recluse Spiders and the Evil Speckled Back Lady Bugs.

          The Agnostics tell us there is no God. What will we do Now???
          Well! that was fun. The Real American
