NEWS BRIEFS
Tragedy As 4 Helicopters Crash Covering Earlier Crash Of 2 Helicopters

Dual tragedies struck the city of Phoenix, AZ earlier today as total of 6 news choppers crashed in two separate fiery crashes. First, 2 news helicopters crashed while covering a high speed police chase near central Phoenix. Firefighters and ambulances rushed to the scene, but were unprepared for what happened next.

“I saw the first fireball and the helicopters go down,” said Juan Perez, who lives with 13 other families in a single bedroom apartment near Phoenix Central Park. “Then about four other news choppers started circling the wreckage. You could see they were jockeying for position.”

Observers say overeager pilots and cameramen inched dangerously close to each other for a better view of the crash when four additional helicopters simultaneously collided, raining flaming debris onto the already wreckage strewn park.

A local station manager was nearly speechless over the tragedy. “What words are there to express the pain and anguish when a senseless tragedy like this ruins a ratings bonanza like a high speed chase?” he said. “I only hope that we can find solace when the overnights come out.”

Dobson Snubs Thompson: "I Don’t Think He’s A Christian"

James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, publicly questioned Fred Thompson’s Christianity, saying “Everyone knows he’s conservative and has come out strongly for the things that the pro-family movement stands for, [but] I don’t think he’s a Christian; at least that’s my impression.”

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Thompson, called the charge ludicrous, and more importantly beside the point, as “the real question in this race is whether Jesus is a Fredist.”

He said that Thompson would be making a public statement to counter the charge later in the day, after he finished attending “Wednesday Services,” which the spokesman explained involved Thompson throttling a filthy war protester with his left hand while he panfried some porkchops for lunch with his right.

Chavez Says Castro "Almost Jogging", Depending On Slope Of Cliff

Venuezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday that his friend, ailing Cuban dictator Fidel Castro has been walking, “almost jogging”, in recent days.

Despite widely-reported rumors of failing health, the 80-year old strongman’s doctors have devised a regimen of vigorous physical therapy involving variously sloped terrain that Castro “can scale down incredibly quickly”, depending on the percentage grade.

“Fidel seems to really love the steep ones,” said one doctor. “We can’t keep up with him. Almost as soon as we let go, he’s bounding down energetically with his arms and leg flailing and tumbling. Eventually we catch up, finding him sprawled out, quietly meditating at the foot of the slope, his arms and legs twisted behind his back. He’s eternally youthful.”

Quinnipiac Poll Finds "Quinnapeeack" Most Popular Spelling

The latest Quinnipiac poll of Connecticut residents finds spelling challenger Quinnapeeack two points ahead of Kwinnapeiak among voters, 48-46. Quinnipiac, the actual spelling of the poll, is preferred among just 6% of respondants.

It is believed the contentious spelling of Iraq is driving the surprising results, as bitter divisions as to whether to call the nascent democracy, which may or may not be in a state of civil war, Irak, Irack, or Eyerach have split the Connecticut electorate and created an unexpected three- way race.

The poll also asked opinions on the Lieberman- Lamont matchup, but those results were largely boring, it being like at least two months until the election, which means that the poll is virtually meaningless.

Filthy Jews Flood Streets Of Kiryat Shemona

Hundreds of filthy Jews wandered around the streets of Kiryat Shemona on Thursday, after a Ketusha rocket fired by Hizb’Allah struck a laundry detergent factory, setting it ablaze.

A Hizb’Allah spokesman said the strike was “just vengeance” for the continued attacks by Israel which have “killed no one but innocent civilians excersizing their 2nd Amendment rights, destroyed baby formula and medicine factories that I’m afraid are too dangerous for you to enter and inspect, and damaged playgrounds where our children play in spider holes and underground bunkers.”

When asked if Hezb’Allah would be ridiculing their Israeli enemies as “filthy Jews” after striking their supply of laundry detergent, he responded: “I don’t get it. What is that?”

Saddam To Reassemble Dream Team For Defense

By a4g
Point Five Staff Writer @ 6:59 am
For some brutal dictators, losing 1,100 lawyers in one mass exodus might be a setback. But for Saddam Hussein,
Hussein and his Dream Team
Defense attorney’s have the sacred obligation to put aside personal morality to vigorously defend their clients.
abandonment by his legal team may prove to be a boon of unexpected fortune.

“Face it,” said the former Iraqi strongman, “These guys just didn’t have a winning attitude. Most of our meetings involved strategies to merely have me hanged, and not disemboweled, drawn and quartered.”

But facing an impending trial and the possibility of sitting at the defendant’s table surrounded by empty chairs, Saddam made a momentous decision: to reassemble the “Dream Team” of attorneys that saved Orenthal James Simpson from lethal injection in the early 90s.

Legal experts say similarities in the cases abound. Like OJ, Hussein is accused of murdering a former wife (along with a few million others). Also like OJ, Hussein had the nickname “Juice”, in Saddam’s case for his propensity for the battery- terminal torture of prisoners. And Hussein was captured after a low- speed bunker chase, entertaining thoughts of suicide until finally submitting to custody in his

spider hole on Iraqingham Drive.

Wednesday, a planeload of top American attorneys touched down at Baghdad International, ready to take up the challenge.

F. Lee Bailey quickly took control of publicity surrounding the case, claiming that while Hussein admitted to “getting physical” with the Iraqi people, it didn’t necessarily follow that he was a genocidal maniac.

Alan Dershowitz, whose business card has noticeably donned a hastily- penciled- in “Iraqi” before the words “Constitutional Scholar”, said that the newness of the Iraqi Constitution created a special challenge for him. He’ll have to work fast to find all the hidden inalienable rights which Iraqi judges haven’t had time to discover yet.

Barry Scheck noted that he would shoulder the burden of the technical aspects of the case. With over 300,000 pieces of DNA evidence, Scheck assured that he would be going over every last one– in detail– at the trial.

Although Judge Lance Ito was not available due to prior commitments, Judge Joe Brown has agreed to take his place.

Sadly, superstar attorney Johnny Cochran died earlier this year, leaving a huge hole in the defense team’s catchy- rhyming- phrase department. But Hussein is curiously unconcerned.

“This not a problem,” said Hussein in his soft- spoken, broken English. “Many Iraqi people they say are ‘dead’, lived years in my prisons. I kidnap enough of his family– Cochran come.”

Hussein has vowed that after he is fully acquitted, he will never stop searching “for the real tyrant”.

    I just got up this morning and logged on to politicalteen.net and linked over to your article, “Saddam To Reassemble Dream Team For Defense”. It is great to be able to get out of bed and have a good laugh first thing in the morning. Thanks a bunch.

    Wil Saddam show that his finger is much to big to push the button that launches gas filled missiles? If the button doesn’t fit; you must aquit.

    Doctor, this post has been hung up since Monday because I couldn’t figure out a stupid rhyme for Johnny Cochran. Finally, I just gave up.

    Thanks for pointing out my abject failure. I feel much better now.

    This game is fashioned after the Minority House caucus and Democrat Senators with Pelosi Reid as the manipulators. Only problem is all they can do is move the players to the extreme left. Human Foosball Human Foosball is a lifesize, inflatable version…

    Michelle Malkin has a must read today. She is defending her beliefs and marriage. Liberals are attacking her skin color and family accusing her of being a white man’s puppet. She has had enough and won’t stand for anymore ridicule. I don’t blame Mi…
