You think this will be one thing...
...and then it turns out to be entirely another. From the way it started I thought it was anti war. Read on:

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE IN FRANCE

March 16, 2003. Today it was reported that a severe earthquakes haveoccurred in 10 different locations in France. The severity was measured in excess of 10 on the Richter Scale. The cause was the 56,681 dead American soldiers buried in French soil rolling over in their graves. According to the American Battle Monuments Commission there are 26,255 Yankee dead from World War I buried in 4 cemeteries in France. There are 30,426 American dead from World War II buried in 6 cemeteries in France. These 56,681 brave American heroes died in their youth to liberate a country which is guilty of shameful unspeakable behavior in the 21st century. May the United States of America never forget their sacrifice as we find ways to forcefully deal with the God forsaken unappreciative, forgetful country of France!

Hmmm. And all it turned out to be was an anti-French rant.

You see how a xenophobic American standpoint utterly ruins perfectly decent political humour?!
