Carrot Top Filth, Emboldens Terrorists

Today’s hearing of the
Senate Armed Services Committee

ended with a near-unanimous decision
which ordered the unconditional withdrawal

of every redheaded soldier in Iraq.
“America doesn’t support troops like that,”

said a senior Delaware Senator,
“I mean, parents may tell their children

that freckles are just ‘kisses
from angels,’

but we are all adults here,
& we all know better.

They are just
gross.”
