#1 oooh, oooh, hire me! I can do it!!

A warm wind blew through the tiny little village. Babies, with empty stomachs, as big as watermellons, lay unattended on mats. No one came to answer their piteous cries. They will be lucky to live through the difficult Arabian winter.

Abdul is a young man who is angry. Angry because US imperialism has left him with no job, no medicine and no social security benefits. He carries a gun, but has no bullets. His bullets were stolen when roving bands of bandits came through his town, killed his parents and took his sister. He wanders aimlessly through the town, speaking to an occassional shopkeeper, looking for odd jobs that provide him just enough to stay alive in this dry, desolate, despairing, difficult, dangerous, disappointing, desert.

Adul makes smacking sounds as he eats what will certainly be his only meal of the day; left over bread given to him by Islamist extremists from the People's Front for Angry Young Men Out of Work and Sexually Frustrated Because They Live in Totalitarian Cess Pools Funded By Religious Fanatics. The PFFAYMOOWASFBTLITCPFBRF has greatly improved Abuls lot and he is grateful for the stale slice of bread and medicine that they give to him.

Abdul is America's worst nightmare and America trembles at the thought of him. Sheltered and fed by the Islamists, Abdul can now find an outlet for his frustration at American occupation of in Iraq. "George Bush has humiliated me" he says. I must regain the honor of my proud people.

Am I hired yet? NO? How about if I add some sound effects - pots clanking, babies crying? Come on. It's as good as anything I've seen written in the NYT or produced by NPR.

#3 Excellent work 2b. you're hired. The epitomy of fake but accurate.

Abdul, Adul, whatever. The PFFAYMOOWASFBTLITCPFBRF deserves every penny the Boston Globe can raise.

#4 Why hire any more? Don't the guys at CNN, CBS, NYT, WaPo, etc. count? Geez, they've got more journos on their side than soldiers in their army.

#6 2b:

Superb! Though you might wish to add an account of depleted uranium shell fragments and how little Arab children with gumdrop tears and chocolate smiles now have a third foot growing out of their hip.

Must not forget to mention DU, and make sure it is made in the USA and has been sitting in the village since 1991 Gulf War I.

#7 Shouldn't there be at least a passing mention of OIL and ZIONISTS, somewhere? Otherwise, pretty good, I think you've got yourself a job at Al Jezeera!

#10 What are they complaining about? Didn't the eminent BBC journalist, Sir David Frost, just take a job at Al Jazeera, the BBC/Muslim World spin-off?

"We invite you to join the Islamic Media Front so that you can help us, through your ideas and your experience."

You mean more than they - and the Western media wankers - already do? :-(
