I kept looking for the funny part. Why are you trying to write on serious stuff? (Are you a pseudonym for Saima Shah?) And didn’t any one tell you? The business of America is business, and nothing must come in its way! So, move over!

[It featured pictures of Shoaib before his haircut, pictures of Shoaib getting his haircut, pictures of Shoaib after his haircut, and some text about which hair colour the stylist had selected for him and why.]

At least they did not try to clarify any ambiguity regarding which hair.

[Since we have yet to get a grip on selling minors, it’ll probably be a little while before we get a grip on selling to minors.]

A major point made through minors!

[What I want to know is, when he illustrated his suspicions for George W. Bush’s understanding, was the stick figure jihadi riding the asteroid wearing a full space suit or just a bubble helmet?]

What I want to know is – who is Mr. Yoda, why is he crying, and how did he manage to get his name in the title without making even one appearance elsewhere?
