Sons of the Republic: How Newsweek missed the real story...

Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words. - John Wayne

How Newsweek missed the real story...
by Bonjo
Newsweek has admitted to publishing an incorrect story regarding U.S. military personnel flushing a copy of the Qur'an down a toilet.

I, for one, never believed this story for a moment. Look at the evidence. Show me a toilet that can flush more than two squares of toilet paper at once without clogging, much less an entire book of scripture, and maybe you have yourself a news story.

This was obviously a fabrication from the beginning!

I now return to my capitalist endeavors.

Newsweek must have left out the part of the story detailing how the Qur'an was tosse down the sewer by a scantily clad, well endowed Jewish Stripper.

**This comment, for those of you unable to understand humor, is meant to illustrate absurdatiy by being absurd.

I couldn't agree more about the ridiculousness of this story. I think the attention this story has received is even more absurd.

Just because they blew this one, doesn't mean they won't try again.
