This story just in from Fox News:
Saddam Hussein has fired his commander of air defenses as U.S.-led forces claimed control of 95 percent of Iraq's sky, the British government said Saturday.Fired? More like: fired off a couple of shots into the poor guy's skull! Eeesh!! (rim shot)
You know, though, of course, in Baghdad, when they say you're about to get a pink slip, they're really talking about the color of your toe tag! (rim shot) Hey now!
But seriously, folks, they way they do business in Iraq isn't all that different from how they do business here. For instance, just like here in the US, they say that the best day to fire someone is on a Friday. No, not because it minimizes that chances of an office incident, but because that's the day the garbage men come to dispose of the guy. Hoooo! (rim shot)
Yeah, Saddam Hussein's a tough guy. But you'd be pissed, too, if you lost 95% of your airspace. Airspace, for those of you who don't follow these things, is defined as all the air between a country's borders. Air space. Or in Michael Moore's case, it's the space between his ears! (rim shot) Ha! Try and stop me.
Then again, Michael Moore is about the size of a small country, so, you can see why there's some confusion. (guitar riff)
But really, all joking aside, this war in Iraq is shaping up to be a tough one. Just yesterday, a platoon of soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division came under heavy fire from Iraqi artillery. Lucky for them, though, they were all able to take cover behind Geraldo's mustache. Ha! (rim shot)
I should write for Jay Leno. Or Jimmy Kimmel, probably.
